Northeast Assembly Thread II

[sentinel]

Oh joy. Bad news, guys. I'm going to be overrun with work this week, and next week is the final week of rehearsals for a musical I'm in, so I won't be able to be very active in my speakership for a little while. I'll still be around, but have patience with me is all. Thank you

Can you delegate this?

[sentinel]

Where is Spenstar???

I recall him mentioning he would be busy soon, must be now.

[sentinel]

So who is the longest serving representative? I want some evidence here...

[sentinel]

Would this be legally watertight?

It's to article III section 13

Just to clarify this is a proposed amendment, not the actual law- I'm not sure if there is anything in the constitution about an absent speaker.

So Snowball just made up his own procedure and went on his merry way?

So what would you want have happen, us wait until the next regional election to kick spenstar...

I'm against people posting proposed amendments and acting like they're established protocol. I don't know what we should do and I hoped you were being honest with us but you werent.

[sentinel]

Don't fall behind on your duties.

[sentinel]

Do any of you plan on running for reelection?  We only have two candidates up so far, with four days until the election.

I hate to sound overly critical, but I really hope the next session goes better than this one.

Nope. I told you about my situation, and I don't have time right now to be an active and worthwhile contributor.

[sentinel]

So its a three way tie?

[sentinel]

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.

[sentinel]

We are also going to need a vote on a new Speaker.

Once the budget vote closes (or any other vote), Snowball will be expelled from the Assembly for missing 3 votes (NE Transit, Undetectable Firearms Act +1 more (Budget?). I've messaged him and the last time he posted was in June to vote for Bore for Speaker.

Because Goldwater is Lt. Governor, I would prefer that someone else is Speaker. I would support Earthling or Matt from VT for Speaker.

[sentinel]

Sorry to interupt, but can a non-Northeast resident post Legislation here? I have an idea for a change to the Northeast Cabinet Act that could make things interesting.

If you want to post it here sure, then an Assembly member (or myself) could potentially introduce it in the appropriate thread.

My bad Governor

Well, its cool if you post it, you just can't formally submit it. Someone else has to.

Matt has been elected Speaker of the Northeast Assembly. And this time we were able to elect a Speaker in under 24 hours!

Success!!

Matt, please see that there was a motion to move the Supremacy Act to the front of the docket. It was introduced as a result of the Bore-Matt from VT Special Senate election, so it is very relevant that we get this passed quickly so we don't have similar problems in the future.

Your Highness, I do believe you might be looking for this thread.

Ah poop. Thanks! Was trying to catch up on a lot at once

[sentinel]

Dude, for the last election I messaged EVERYONE in the Northeast. Everyone. We need more players. I messaged 5+ last weekend, GAworth joined but in the Midwest I think...like I said in my PM to ya'll, I'd like you all to do the same thing...

[sentinel]

I am going to be forging a bill for the $9 billion stimulus that we will be receiving from the federal government. Accepting suggestions on how we should be appropriating it. I'm predisposed to allocate it towards more infrastructure development.

[sentinel]

How much does it cost regionally to send a student to college in the Northeast, because I think we really should pump some money into the schools as well?

Thats a good question for the GM, in addition I would recommend reading Scott's education law because, from what I remember, it does lower costs.

However, I categorically will not support via stimulus any bill that is not a one-time expense (aka the program will not be renewed).

[sentinel]

Matt just fix the quote to say article 6 section 5 up in the first part

[sentinel]

As the new Speaker/Hand of the King, my first action is to declare that I am the unanimous winner of this vote, which has been finished as all 5 Representatives have voted.

Awesome, now get on those bills before the King get's angry, Mr. Speaker.

I would, but I'm not sure which bills in the introduction thread have been debated/passed/whatever, if any. Did we go through all of butafly's crazy bills yet?

I THINK the illegal immigrant act is the next one up...

[sentinel]

Mr. Chief Judicial Officer Dallasfan65 -
Mr. Speaker Alfred F. Jones -
Mr. Lieutenant Governor Dr. Cynic -

I, SirNick, King in the North and Governor of the Northeast, hereby resign the office of Governor of the Northeast effective immediately.

Thank you,

SirNick

Butafly's original intent was to get them all repealed in an omnibus, but I vetoed the end result of that legislation. This way, albeit time consuming, is much more fair in terms of being able to debate the merits of legislation. We got around it in the past by just motioning bills to the front of the queue.

[sentinel]

Well, it seems there is no such bill. Before I begin drafting one, however, what's the current state of our prisons? Same as status quo?

There wasn't a bill. I just wanted to see a debate begin to hopefully get the entire Assembly to craft a good bill.

So far. I know it was a goal of Sirnick's to work on prison reform, but we never got to it, so I'd like to see us get to it now.

It was. I wanted to push rehabilitation over imprisonment in addition to getting rid of mandatory minimums for non-violent crimes, and lowering maximum sentences for non-violent crimes in general. Possibly separate drug courts...

[sentinel]

Speaking of bills, what do we do with all of Butafly's bills now that he's gone?

Bills don't have sponsors, they die!

[sentinel]

Please remember that the Lieutenant Governor [or Acting Governor] cannot be Speaker.
