NE1: Northeastern Identity Act

[DKrol]

Debate will last for 72 hours, ending at 8PM EST on Friday, May 8th.

I have 36 hours to advocate for my bill.

[DKrol]

I have always been a strong proponent of regions, and the powers of government being vested in the regions. I feel that this bill crafts the Northeastern identity into something more tangible. When someone goes to eat an apple, they'll think of the Northeast. When someone goes to pet a Boston Terrie, they'll think of the Northeast. I see only positive impacts from this bill.

[DKrol]

I would be very open to amendments to this bill.

[DKrol]

I'll accept Cynic's amendment as friendly. To the idea of New York, apples are known major commercial crop for the state.

 However - I feel that blueberry pancakes are much more of a breakfast than a dessert. I will amend the bill to reflect that idea.

[DKrol]

I don't know if it should be incorporated in this Act since there is a list of official Northest things, or it could be just a reminder, hockey is the official Northeast sport.

As there is already a bill making it so, and this bill doesn't repeal that one, I do not think it needs to be added.

Time for debate has ended. We will now move to a 48 hour vote.

Aye

[DKrol]

With 4 Ayes and 1 member not voting, this bill passes and will be sent to the Governor for his decision.
