Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[CatoMinor]

And I wouldn't mind repealing the 3'd section of the bill, I added that part just in case someone would use "free-riders" as an argument against it.

I will vote for it if you remove the third amendment.  


Although I approve and encourage workers to negotiate with employers (over wages, compensation, hours, etc.) I believe forcing someone to join a union violates their personal inalienable rights.    

[Antonio the Sixth]

At this point, I think the best thing is to let the bill fail and then reintroduce it without section 3.

Is there any objection to having the Council elections in the new year?

I mean, if we really need to we can have them this month, but people are going to be busy with the holidays, and it probably makes more sense to wait until everyone's lives are a little less hectic.

Well, first of all, we should wait until we have enough candidates to fill the 4 offices.

Well either way I guess it'll work.  I just thought it'd be a better idea to pull the election this month in order to dodge a one month only term for two of the seats.

Nevertheless, I have some doubt that we will be able to fill all four, even if we wait.  Part of me says that there's too many of us in committed positions in order to keep seats occupied, not to mention the amount of inactive members from our region.

Nay

MaxQue ? Realisticidealist ?

MaxQue ? Realisticidealist ?

If they wish to declare, they can.  However, as I said, we still have two spots open (maybe just one depending on whether or not a specific person will go through with the consideration).  We can't exactly force them to declare sadly, so the spots may remain unfilled until someone steps up.

And also, with your Senate victory, we also have the Justice position to fill.  That in of itself is a bit troublesome.

I've actually already asked someone, although I'm not going to tell you their name in public just yet. I'll nominate this person (if they still want to do it) once Antonio's in the Senate.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, we just need to pressure people a bit more.

Seriousy though, if we don't get four (or even if we get only four) we should consider reducing the number of councilor to 3 or even 2.

We'll see I guess.  I'll just send a daily PM, maybe that'll work.

Xahar declared.

That leaves one then...we'll see what happens.

Consider moving down to three seats in the future...

[Fuzzybigfoot]

I think we should just get this over already. 

[Oakvale]

I think we should just get this over already. 

I'm going to hold the elections in the first week of the new year, if that works.

I think we should do that, no matter how many candidates we have.

Alright, that sounds good.

[Oakvale]

So I'm thinking the elections will be held Wednesday or so, if that suits.

We've only got 3 candidates, but, eh, we can always leave a seat vacant and amend it out later.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Now we really need an Amendment. 3 seats would be definitely better, we could even hope to get some competition.

[RI]

Sorry, I've been busy with holidays and moving over the Eastern the last few weeks, so I've been very inactive. You guys seem to want a fifth candidate, so I might as well run for Council.  I'll may only get two-ish votes, but hey, it's all for fun.

[RI]

So when are we going to hold the election?

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Wasn't the election going to be today?

[Oakvale]

Sorry guys, I've been kind of sick.

I'll open the election thread now, and leave it open for three days.
