NE3: New York Agreement for a Northeastern Independence Referendum (passed)

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

let's have 24 hours for final comments and amendments. it's a terribly important bill, after all

[Former Lincoln Assemblyman & Lt. Gov. RGN]

Looking back through the debate - I don't think there's anything I've missed out from the bill or that I haven't explained why I'd oppose certain things going into the bill.

I request that we close the debate and start voting on the amended bill.

I can't yet make my final stand about this. I'm still in for the extra powers tho.

Devolution - most likely - where we would have exclusive control over more things. I attempted it before, but we were caught up in constitutional issues.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

ah, that'd make sense, yeah

NAY

[DemPGH]

Yes.

I respect the work Clyde has done here, and I think a couple of things about this as I mentioned before:

We need to send this to referendum as a serious reform possibility, and we need to have a conversation about it. I'm making plans to do that via the Gazette, and certainly other polls and conversations about it would be great. Independent regions would presumably be able to retain talent instead of bleeding it to the federal government, so that what they do is actually important - at least that resonated with me when a few people pitched it to me.

We generally need to think about increasing regional powers (which would be fantastic alongside consolidation, for instance) as one method to getting out of this funk Atlasia is in if regions do not go independent.

So let's have the debate!
