Cris vs. TNF

[Senator Cris]

I'm filing a lawsuit against Midwest Governor TNF.

On June 24, Governor TNF issued some executive orders:

Executive Order #1

All previous executive orders issued by previous Governors of the Midwest are hereby rescinded.

Executive Order #2

All Midwestern government bodies are henceforth not to cooperate with federal agents of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement insofar as their cooperation would result in the deportation of an undocumented worker. Undocumented workers are to be granted safe haven in the Midwest, which shall treat every human being as a human being and no one as an 'illegal' person or persons.

Executive Order #3

All government documents printed by the Most Serene Republic of the Midwest shall henceforth be printed in English and Spanish.

Executive Order #4

All persons currently incarcerated for non-violent offenses (excepting 'white collar' criminals) shall have their sentences commuted to time served and shall be released from prison no later than July 31, 2015.

Executive Order #5

Henceforth, no employer that is (or is not) party to a labor dispute, may 'lockout' workers during contract negotiations (or for any other reason). Doing so shall result in a fine of no less than $250,000 per offense (adjusted annually for inflation), with an additional $500,000 fine for each day workers are not allowed to work on account of the intransigence of the company in question.

Executive Order #6

No police officer employed by the Most Serene Republic of the Midwest be utilized in such a way as to break a strike or attack a picket line, nor may police officers infiltrate labor unions or political organizations, for any purpose. Violations of this order shall result in a fine of no less than $25,000 (adjusted annually for inflation), termination of employment, and forfeiture of any right to a pension or other compensation otherwise owed to the officer in question.

Executive Order #7

The Most Serene Republic of the Midwest shall partner with organized labor to establish union-run hiring halls in impoverished areas. These hiring halls shall provide training and education to job seekers and shall allow for the fullest employment of those seeking employment on useful public projects, with an emphasis on employing persons of color, women, youth (persons under 25), and other historically disadvantaged groups.

Executive Order #8

The Midwestern Department of Internal Affairs is hereby directed to conduct an intensive study on segregation in the Midwest and present said report to the Governor and the members of the Althing no later than December 31, 2015, as well as present potential remedies to address social segregation.

Executive Order #9

The five (5) hour day is hereby established for all workers employed by the Most Serene Republic of the Midwest. Upon the expiration of existing contracts between the Most Serene Republic of the Midwest and private service providers, a condition of any future contracts enacted must be the observance of a 5 hour workday, with wage adjustments upward to guarantee no loss in pay for workers on contract. Likewise, the wages of regional workers shall adjust to guarantee pay equivalent to existing payrates under a shorter workday system.

Executive Order #10

The Department of Internal Affairs shall shut down any existing database that provides information to the public pertaining to the 'sex offender' status of any person, and destroy such information effective immediately. All sex offenders that have been released from prison and served their time shall no longer be cataloged into public databases or tracked on account of a previous conviction resulting in jail time that has been served. Police 'sting' operations directed at capturing 'sex offenders' via the use of entrapment are hereby prohibited, and the arrest and detention of persons for the viewing of any currently prohibited pornographic material shall likewise be prohibited. The last clause of this executive order shall not be interpreted as interfering with existing prohibitions on the production of said material, which shall continue to result in all appropriate and established legal penalties.

But according to the Midwest constitution, the Governor can't do this.

I don't know what standing you could possibly have, Cris.

[Senator Cris]

I don't know what standing you could possibly have, Cris.

?

It's not the first lawsuit on an act regarding a regional government and considered that Governor TNF does not want to withdraw these executive orders (not provided by the Midwest Constitution), this is the only way.

[TNF]

I have acted entirely within my bounds as Governor. You will be hearing from my lawyer shortly.

[Oakvale]

Does the Midwest currently have a judicial officer? If so this should be first addressed at the regional level and thus posted in the regional governments board. If not we will be happy to take a look at the merits of this case.

[Maxwell]

Verin was re-appointed under the Gass administration, I assume he's still there, so yes, I think this must go through the Midwest legal system first.

[Oakvale]

Right. Cris, please post this in the Regional Governments board for the attention of the MW court. If either party's unhappy with the resulting verdict they can appeal to the Supreme Court.

Yup, he's still there. Probably will enjoy having a case to hear.

[Senator Cris]

Done.
