Executive Order #8

The Northeast Department of the Interior is to begin accepting requests for wind farm permits and begin consulting local communities where wind farm applicantsare seeking to harvest energy.

I sign,

Repeal of the Northeast Wiki Reform Act

The Northeast Wiki Reform Act is hereby repealed.

[Napoleon]

I veto the Roscoe Conking Equity Before the Law Act.

Sorry Nix, cool name for the bill!

[Napoleon]

The bill is vetoed.

[Napoleon]

I think the text of this bill went too far. That is why I vetoed it. I would be happy to find a more practical way to reduce the harm caused by gambling addiction but I was not convinced this bill could accomplish that. Don't forget, gambling is one of those issues I am pretty neutral on. I am not a gambler and don't know many gamblers.

However, the casinos are not thieves. Hopefully with how much this region spends on education we can produce residents smart enough to have an iota of self-control.

The Governor will be waiting to reach a decision for this bill.

I agree with the Speaker about our fiscal situation. I would prefer not to divert these funds away. I understand Representatives concerns about the social cost of gambling though I have not formed a very strong opinion either way. If I sign this bill, it will be conditional on a future amendment creating a new tax to fund these programs instead of moving around funds already dedicated to other programs and needs.

So, let us have fun during this lame duck session. Convince me.

[Napoleon]

This bill is imperfect but well intentioned. However, as I have been assured by Representative Winfield that he will work with incoming Governor Nix to assuage our mutual concerns, as my last act as Northeast Governor, I sign;

I hate to imagine what the Northeast would be like if every well-intentioned bill (i.e. practically every bill) were signed into law for merely being well-intentioned. You can be sure that this bill will be reconsidered next session. I'm open to convincing, but unless we can demonstrate that the revenues that this law funnels away from everything else are being spent effectively, this law should be repealed.

Winfield said he is going to introduce an amendment that instead brings new revenues.

[Napoleon]

To be honest, I was looking beyond the scope of the actual bill so I hope you use it as a rallying point.
