Northeast Assembly Thread II

[bore]

Is the voting window not 72 hours?

I can call the election tomorrow, at about 11/12 o clock northeastern time, but voting will no longer be valid (only applies to snowball) after about 6am northeastern time (I can't do the calculations myself, but 3 days from my opening post).

Is the voting window not 72 hours?

Sorry.  My mistake.

[bore]

The election is now closed with 4 assemblymen voting

The results are:

bore 2
goldwater 1
poirot 1

bore is hereby elected speaker.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Congratulations. I hope you understand my vote for Goldwater was not against you but because I believe that the two offices should not be held by the same person.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Congratulations, Speaker bore!

Just for future reference, we skipped over the stem cell research bill.

Yeah, sorry about that, once I'd noticed the mistake it was too late to fix it, as the threads had already been commented upon. It will be the next bill on the floor.

At some point soon we need to vote upon the Governor's debate plan. I'll put it up here for a while and then we can hold the vote:

Executive Order #25

A debate to include all Northeast Assembly, gubernatorial, and senatorial candidates will be held from June 13-20th.

The debate style shall be as follows: Both Northeast and non-Northeast citizens will ask questions in a special 'question thread' and specify which candidate (or candidates) is being asked.  Candidates will be allowed to answer, offer rebuttals, and ask each other questions throughout the debate.  On June 20th, candidates will deliver closing statements.

This debate will take place at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

This executive order will go into effect upon Assembly confirmation.

[bore]

If there are no comments on this debate then we'll have a vote in a day.

Also, there are no more bills in the legislation introduction thread, so, if anyone wants to introduce one, now is the time.

This can't be emphasised enough.

Anyway, I think its time to put this for a vote. Voting shall last 72 hours or until all representatives have voted.

[bore]

Aye

[Northeast Rep Snowball]

Aye

[Goldwater]

AYE

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Just an FYI: an infrastructure bill will be introduced as soon as I get the necessary figures from the GM.  It would be appreciated if more of our Reps wrote some more legislation, though.

[bore]

With 3 ayes the bill passes.

[Goldwater]

Okay, it's time to start this assembly session. The first thing we should do is elect a Speaker. I would like to nominate Bore for Speaker.

[Poirot]

There was a separate thread started for the election of speaker for the upcoming session.

Goldwater, the Lt Gov, has jurisdiction here. I prefer that he does it.

[Goldwater]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the nomination period will last 24 hours. Sorry about being so late with all of this, I was busy and actually forgot I was elected Lt. Governor.

[Goldwater]

The nomination period has ended. Voting will last 72 hours, or until all representatives have voted.

Well, this is a good sign for future activity levels...

Bore has been elected Speaker of the Assembly.

[bore]

Right folks, I'm just about to leave you, for the time being, before I do though, I've got a few things to say:

Firstly, thank you to sirnick, a person, goldwater and earl for making this session of the assembly more active than the last. A special thanks to sirnick, who is being a fantastically active governor, and goldwater, who I think was first elected at the same time as me, and has always been an active and valued contributor the assembly. Also thanks to people like Nix, Scott, Poirot, Cincy, simfan etc, who have been role models to me in atlasia.

Secondly to move a piece of legislation to the front a vote must be held in this thread, so I'll open that before I go.

Thirdly the gun bill has passed the budget is just about to and seeing as there has been no debate on the canada bill I'll open that up for a vote in a second- this should mean that not to much time is wasted and there will be a clean slate for the next speaker to work on.

Thanks, Bore
