Voting is closed for Speaker. GAworth has been elected Speaker on a 2-0-1 Vote. The chamber will now move onto legislative business.
Please note that FE-4 (Fremont Minimum Wage Implementation Act) and FE-7 (YIMBY Act) are currently on the floor for debate. We will also be considering another bill as well. Please members, introduce other pieces of legislation.

We also need to work on a redraft of the constitution.

What do we need to redraft, Speaker?

[rpryor03]

I nominate Adam Griffin to serve as Speaker.

[rpryor03]

OK, who wants to run for Speaker?

[rpryor03]

I've never enjoyed being Speaker, and so I nominate wolfentoad.

[rpryor03]

Seeing as he's pretty much accepted and Wulfric hasn't said boo, I open a 24 hour vote.


I vote for Wolfentoad.

[rpryor03]

Congratulations, Speaker Wolfentoad.

The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.

The prairie dogs in dogtown
Will wag each little tail,
They'll think that something's coming,
Just flying down the rail.

The rattlesnake will show its fangs,
The owl tu-whit tu-who.
While railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico,
The railroad cars are coming, humming,
Through New Mexico.
