Office of Northeast Governor Winfield

[LINCOLN REPUBLICAN]

Thank you for your service, Winfield. You have been a fine governor so far and it will be disappointing to not have you on the ballot in the upcoming election.

Thankyou homely.  Much appreciated.

[Simfan34]

It has been an honor to serve as your Lieutenant, Governor, and I will be saddened to not see you run for re-election.

It has been an honor to serve as your Lieutenant, Governor, and I will be saddened to not see you run for re-election.

Thank you for your kind remarks.  They are most appreciated.

And might I add, it has been an honor for me as well to have you as Lieutenant Governor, and for being willing to step into that position.

I am new to the regional government, Governor, but I would just like to thank you for your service to the region anyway. It is obvious even after only a short time how diligently you care for the Northeast.

After much soul searching and contemplation, I have come to the difficult decision that I will not be a candidate for Governor of the Northeast in the coming election, to be held August 19-21, 2011.       

The next election for Governor will be held in October. I apologize for failing to notice an error in my Vital Civic Information Thread that led you to believe otherwise. It's relieving that you will be staying on, I presume, as Governor until then.

Thank you Nathan.  This is very much appreciated.

The information in the Vital Civic Information Thread stated the Governorship was up for election August 19-21.  As it turns out, however, this is in error, as stated by homelycooking above, and the next election for Governor will be in October.

So it looks like the Northeast will have to put up with me as Governor until at least October. 

[LINCOLN REPUBLICAN]

Just to clarify the timing of my decision not to seek election as Governor at the next election, I had come to this conclusion by the latter part of July, 2011.

On July 31, 2011, Senator Napoleon and I were discussing some matters via PM, at which time I informed Napoleon that I would not be running for Governor in the next election.

I had asked Napoleon not to mention this to anyone, and that I would be making an announcement shortly.

Being an individual of great integrity, Napoleon was true to his word in keeping this matter to himself.  

[Cincinnatus]

I'm rather disappointed that I was not included on the ballot, as I clearly declared to run.

I am running for reelection to the Northeast Assembly.

I am hereby announcing my candidacy for the NE Assembly, as well as NE Governor!

Glad to hear

Announcement from the office of Northeast Governor Winfield.

Governor Winfield has undertaken an extensive tour of hurricane and flood ravaged areas of the Northeast.  He is seeing firsthand the extent of the damage.  He is speaking one on one with victims of this disaster and has signed an executive order pledging whatever assistance necessary from the Northeast government  in order to rebuild homes, infrastructure, and most of all, to rebuild the lives of victims after this disaster.

Governor Winfield calls upon President Polnut, his administration, and the federal government to release all necessary resources at their disposal to do the same.

The Food Donation Protection Act

A bill to encourage food donations within the region.

The Northeast recognizes that supermarkets and restaurants throw out millions of dollars of produce, grocery items, and food each year.  Many of these places of operation would gladly donate these items if not for the fear of litigation.


1.  A record of food donations may be made by places of operation that provide food for the needy.  A receipt may be issued to the donator for their records.

2.  These places of operation shall maintain responsibility for ensuring they comply with all regulations set by relevant Government agencies (Health Dept, FDA, ect).

3.  Those who willingly receive and/or consume the donated goods, shall not be able to obtain damages, unless malicious intent can be proven.

4.  Receipts issued under Section 1, may be used for tax purposes, if permitted by Northeast law.

[LINCOLN REPUBLICAN]

Thank you Mr. Speaker.  I shall be pleased to sign this bill into law.

This act will provide much needed help, in an effecient manner, to those in need.

Thank you to the members of the Northeast Assembly for working together in getting this important legislation passed.
