Hey Guys,

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=135375.0


This is a great idea the Northeast implemented, and I think it'd be cool to do the same in the Mideast. I'd be more than willing to run it, unless someone else feels called to.

That was actually the first act I intended on introducing, in the event that I would be so fortunate as to serve in the Assembly.

[afleitch]

Sigh...

I'll propose more legislation then shall I?

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Sigh...

I'll propose more legislation then shall I?

We're looking forward to whatever you have to propose.

[California8429]

If you'd like I can re introduce my teacher salary bill which I'm sure will have lots of debate and amendents.

I'm also beginning work on public employee pension reform considering we have to pay $50 billion a year while the IDS to paying under $4 billion

[big bad fab]

Sorry not to contribute much here.
You all know in which circumstances some of us were candidates...

I think it's time to slash the size of the Assembly .
If one important veteran politician of our great region provides me with all the texts needed to be amended, I'll put forward a bill .

(yeah, lazy even about that...)

Section 1
Public education teaching payment shall be based on the following:
30% Education acquired by degree, in any area. The greater amount of degrees and the more advanced degree will result in a higher salary.
35% Years spent teaching in public, private, charter schools, or universities. The longer a teacher has spent teaching, the greater their salary.
30% Regional test score results for their students. The higher the regional test scores the students they teach score, the greater their salary.
5% Former occupation related to teaching. For teachers who have had occupations related to their current teaching (like an engineering now teaching math), they will have a greater salary.

Section 2
The starting teacher salary will be $35,000 annually and will between this amount and $65,000 for any other given year based on Section 1’s formula. The teaching salary will be based on a sliding scale

Section 3
Each year there will be an annual test developed by the education department of the Mideast Government for grades 3-10 in the areas of math, writing, reading, science, and social studies. This regional test will be used to determine the 30% of the salary based on regional testing scores for teachers. Teachers who teach Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) will be scored on student’s results if they teach 11th or 12th grade students whom will not take the regional test due to local district requirements. Scores of the regional test will only affect the teacher teaching in their specific area (an English teacher is only scored on Writing and Reading).

Section 4
Teachers who do not teach a subject related to Math, Writing, Reading, Science, and Social Studies, and/or do not teach an AP or IB class, will not be subject to the 30% teaching salary category based on the regional test scores. Teachers who fall into the Section 4 category will only have the ability to achieve a maximum of $60,000 annually for salary.

GO wild ripping this apart! But truly in the end I would like to see an education reform bill on my desk

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I'll draft one of those "Welcome to the Mideast, here's who's in what position and when the next election is" thingy bills after Sunday - busy weekend at work.

Is this the final submission?  Or is this a rough draft?

You want 3 people?  I can draft that.

[big bad fab]

Except if new active Mideast citizens emerge: it's already the case with MOPolitico.
And I've noticed other promising names.
So, maybe we shouldn't rush on this subject: I know, I sound contradictory, but I was proposing this just because I'm a bit ashamed by my own very, very low activity .

Anyway, the last elections were really a failure for our system.
I think, we can have 5 active members now. But we cannot be sure of competitive elections with 5 members. It depends on the aim of all this: trying to have all the active Mideastern Atlasians in the Assembly or trying to have competitive elections.

At least, a draft and a debate would be fine.

[California8429]

That's my final submission TO be torn apart and amended in the debate thread

[California8429]

Nomination to the Superior Court

I hereby nominate Big Bad Fab to the Superior Court.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

An Amendment to Correct an Oversight in Article II, Section 2 of the Mideast Constitution

You don't have to forgive me, but when did MOpolitico get in the Assembly? I have a weird feeling that elections took place without my knowing about them. If so, it's probably for the better, but I'd like to know. Incidentally, the Atlas Fantasy Elections Voting Booth doesn't seem to have a thread on any sort of Assembly elections, so that just deepens the mystery. Is it because big bad fab is moving up to the Superior Court?

[Cincinnatus]

I'm not a citizen here but..

A-Bob appoints MO

Tmth didn't take his Senate seat, Officepark took his seat, MO took Officepark's seat, BBF is up for a nomination to the Superior Court in which there will be another vacancy.

There isn't any mystery here for what's been going on the last two weeks. How is it for the better that as an Assemblyman you don't know elections are being held?

[tmthforu94]

It's fine, around here, we appreciate it when others offer help, not shun them for it.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I knew about the Presidential and Senate elections, but I didn't hear about Tmth not taking his seat & what followed.
