Less money to well-off white people as they travel to grandma's house, more to commuting workers.


1. The Federal government will allocate $85 billion to the Department of Internal Affairs to be distributed among the five regions for the purpose of refining, upgrading and expanding metropolitan bus networks and subways.

This is my amendment proposal.

Perhaps the GM can break down how the current bills have improved our transportation infrastructure and what areas we are still lacking in? I don't want to keep dumping money with no results.

I suppose not, if you're just wanting to stall it for the sake of stalling it. Tongue

As opposed to moving on for the sake of moving on? How about the Senate actually debate bills before voting?

Nay

Snowstalker wants to end the debate. In his case it never began. This is ridiculous.

Keeping it on the floor takes two or three days longer. Voting it down means wasting all the days already spent here.

This whole PPT/VP split doesn't work. It was worth trying but I don't think we should continue, the Senate can run itself.

So instead of spending a bit more time making something work you would rather piss away all the time already spent with this?

The Senator requesting cloture hasn't even participated in the debate and wants to end it.

I disagree, but regardless, the PPT is not the one who gets to decide that. The PPT has nothing and can do nothing without the VP's agreement. That is the way it has been since Fritz amended the OSPR to be in line with the Constitution on this matter back in 2010. The Vice President is the President of the Senate and he runs the place thus, it is only through neglect or choice that they have not up until this point.

Guess who has a say in changing that and guess who doesn't. Wink
