Title: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon FAREWELL ADDRESS Post by: Napoleon on February 20, 2012, 04:26:57 PM The Hartford Office will serve as my transitionary office throughout the week, and my public office thereafter. I will maintain official government business in my New York Office on the Regional Governments board, I will move there upon swearing in as Governor.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:18:19 AM If anyone is interested in a Cabinet position, please contact me at the soonest possible date. I would like yo be able to get all nominations and such dealt with in timely fashion.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:26:26 AM Here is the preliminary text for an amendment I will be requesting the Legislative Assembly to vote on.
Quote 9. The Governor is obligated to present the Legislative Assembly a budget every month he or she is in office. The structure and procedure for the budget process are to be determined by law. The budget of all government activities is to be voted on by the Assembly after a normal debate period. The Governor is obligated to ensure that the budget does not provide for any deficits excepting times of emergency or war, a condition the Legislative Assembly must successfully endorse. What does this amendment do? It allows each Governor the opportunity to produce his or her own fiscal policies: if we are going to shorten our electoral cycles for this game, we should also shorten our political and economic cycles as to allow elected officials to be held accountable for their own performance. The balanced budget provision remains intact, and the Assembly remains involved in the process. Leaving the specific budget requirements beyond that up to law allows us some flexibility in just how complex the process is-- we don't want to get saddled with a constitutional budgetary process that creates too much work on a permanent basis. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:35:26 AM I am also making public my suggestions for SOAP reform, which I hope will be made a top priority by the Legislative Assembly. Members are encouraged to begin discussing and contemplating this document now so that we waste no time upon swearing in. :)
Quote 1. Proposed Legislation Thread A. The Lt. Governor shall open a new Northeast Assembly Proposed Legislation Thread at the start of each Northeast Assembly session. B. Representatives, the Governor and any concerned Northeast citizen shall post the full text of any proposed legislation in a response to the Northeast Assembly Proposed Legislation Thread for the current session. Each response shall contain only one piece of proposed legislation. C. Nothing shall be posted to the Northeast Assembly proposed legislation thread except proposed legislation or a Northeast citizen's signature for proposed citizen legislation. 2. Movement of Legislation to the Northeast Assembly Floor A. Three bills shall be allowed on the floor concurrently, to be referred to as Legislative Slots. Legislative Slot 1: Priority shall be given to the People. Legislation proposed by concerned Northeast citizens shall be placed in this slot. If there is no new legislation proposed by concerned Northeast citizens in the Northeast Assembly Proposed Legislation Thread, the Speaker shall place the earliest introduced legislation in this slot. Legislative Slot 2: Priority shall be given to the Speaker. Legislation shall be placed in this slot at the Speaker’s discretion. Proposed legislation must be placed in this slot if it is open. Legislative Slot 3: Priority shall be given to the Governor. Legislation proposed by the Governor shall be placed in this slot. If there is no new legislation proposed by the Governor in the Northeast Assembly Proposed Legislation Thread, the Speaker shall place the earliest introduced legislation in this slot. B. Each piece of legislation on the floor shall receive its own thread. Threads shall be titled as follows: NE1: Name of bill, where 1 is substituted to designate the Legislative Slot the bill occupies and the Name of bill shall be the Title of the Bill given by its sponsor in the Northeast Assembly Proposed Legislation Thread. Each thread shall remain open until the Bill either (a) becomes law via the Governor’s signature, lack of Gubernatorial action, or veto override or (b) fails to receive majority support from Representatives. 3. Legislative Debates and Voting A. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (h), all proposed legislation shall be open for debate for no less than seventy-two (72) hours after the Speaker places it in a Legislative Slot. B. During debate, Representatives may suggest amendments to proposed legislation. If the sponsor of the proposed legislation publicly deems the amendment friendly, no vote on the amendment shall be required. If the sponsor of the proposed legislation does not publicly deem the amendment friendly, a vote on the amendment shall be taken twenty-four (24) hours after being proposed unless there is less than twenty-four (24) hours of debate remaining on the bill. If there is less than twenty-four (24) hours of debate remaining on the bill, a vote on the amendment shall be taken before proceeding to a final vote on the bill. Such vote shall be open for twenty-four (24) hours, or until all Representatives have voted, if earlier. An amendment shall pass if a majority of Representatives vote in favor of it (with abstentions and absences not counted as votes). C. The sponsor of a proposed amendment may remove it from the Assembly floor by tabling it at any time before a vote on the amendment is started. D. The sponsor of a piece of proposed legislation may remove it from the Assembly floor by tabling it at any time before a final vote is taken on the proposed legislation. E. A final vote on the proposed legislation shall take place after the Speaker certifies the vote on any proposed amendments (or, if there are no such amendments, at the end of the debate period). Such votes shall be open for twenty-four (24) hours, or until all Representatives have voted, if earlier. A piece of proposed legislation shall pass if a majority of Representatives vote in favor of it (with abstentions and absences not counted as votes). F. The Speaker shall certify the results of any vote within twenty-four (24) hours of the end of the voting period. G. Any Representative may make a motion to suspend section 3A of this Standing Order to increase or decrease the time of the debate or voting period. The motion shall be immediately put to a vote on the Northeast Assembly floor. Such vote shall be open for twenty-four (24) hours, or until all Representatives have voted, if earlier. If the motion passes by a vote of the majority of all Representatives (with abstentions and absences counted as nay votes), the relevant period shall be changed. 4. Terminology A. All legislation regarding the rules of the Northeast Assembly shall be called Standing Orders. B. All proposed legislation that requires the signature of the Governor shall be called a Bill until signed and thereafter an Act. 5. Miscellaneous A Northeast Assembly Protest and Analysis Thread shall be created and made open to Northeast citizens for the discussion of legislative proposals, debates, votes, and all other matters that relate to the Northeast government. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on February 22, 2012, 03:45:27 AM The new SOAP should be amended to give members the option to table rogue bills upon a vote from either a majority or supermajority of the Assembly. It would make filibustering much more difficult and save legislative time.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:45:59 AM Upon swearing in on Thursday, my first executive action will be to appoint my successor in the Senate. I ask the Assembly to consider this appointment simultaneous to the Speaker election, as it should not be too complicated. It is absolutely a priority of mine that this region maintains solid representation in the national legislature. To that end, after much thought and excruciating deliberation, I have decided to appoint Senator-elect Scott as my successor in the Senate. The region elected him my successor, after all, and I have full confidence in Scott's ability to do good work on behalf of this region. I hope Scott can be treated to a speedy confirmation vote. :)
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:47:57 AM The new SOAP should be amended to give members the option to table rogue bills upon a vote from either a majority or supermajority of the Assembly. It would make filibustering much more difficult and save legislative time. Another option would be to allow the Speaker some autonomy in this area. I will work alongside our newly elected Representatives to find the best solution. Thank you for raising this point. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on February 22, 2012, 03:53:28 AM The new SOAP should be amended to give members the option to table rogue bills upon a vote from either a majority or supermajority of the Assembly. It would make filibustering much more difficult and save legislative time. Another option would be to allow the Speaker some autonomy in this area. I will work alongside our newly elected Representatives to find the best solution. That would be a good idea. And any legislative powers the Lt. Governor has should be transferred to the Speaker, except for sucession. Technically, current law gives more power to the Lt. Governor than the Speaker, but the Assembly hasn't followed that tradition for months, as far as I can remember. I accept my appointment to the Senate. Thank you. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 03:55:35 AM This was actually changed already (it had to be since Lieutenant Governor is no longer an independent office). The Speaker is now a constitutionally recognized Representative with defined duties.
Quote 13. The Speaker of the Northeast Legislative Assembly acts as the Presiding Officer of the Northeast Legislative Assembly. He or she organizes votes on legislation and notifies the Representatives of the results of any official vote. The Lieutenant Governor's only presiding role is to open the session until the Speaker is elected by the Legislative Assembly. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 22, 2012, 04:16:58 AM This is a transparent and public administration, so I will now highlight other top priorities of the administration.
I plan to revive the Northeast Wiki Reform Commission (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=138659.0). Ideally, Homelycooking, Cincinnatus & I can finish what work needs done. I will work to create a Second Statutory Review Commission (SRC2). This commission will have more of an emphasis on changing and updating policies, organizing laws of the land, and working with the NEWRC too. I'd like to see the Commission composed of the Governor, two Representatives, and two citizens. Hopefully we can work something out. I also shall seek a Northeast Tax and Budget Policy Committee to review expenditures and receipts, find the fairest revenue policies, and work to balance the budget. Interested parties should feel free to inform me. :) Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 23, 2012, 12:16:15 AM I have issued a number of executive orders, including a Senatorial appointment.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 23, 2012, 12:29:59 AM Official Gubernatorial Endorsement Press Release "Governor Napoleon has endorsed former Governor Snowstalker for Assembly in the March 2nd special election. "Snowstalker received the approval of this region's voters in the election. He is also a personal friend and an ally, someone who I will enjoy working across the aisle with and has a strong history serving this region." The Governor indicated that he would like to see the Labor Party represented in the Assembly. "Let us not divide the left in another election: I stand with Snowstalker!" Snowstalker has also been endorsed by Senator-elect Scott and Senator 20RP12. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: AndrewTX on February 23, 2012, 07:49:11 AM Congrats on winning, and good luck in your term to come. I hope you come to enjoy your time in this office as much as I used to.
Now it's time for me to retire again to the sunny beaches of Futtbuck, PA and take up my pension from all my other offices. LATE!!!!! Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 23, 2012, 11:30:13 AM Thank you Andrew!!! Im already loving it. Much more fun than the boring Senate, which used to be fun when I had my buddies Snowguy and Fuzzy!!!!! to chill with but has gotten progressively worse since.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Barnes on February 23, 2012, 01:29:09 PM You've been doing a great job since you took office. As my very first region, I will always wish the best for it, and you're obviously the right one for the job.
By the by, I agree about an executive being a lot more fun. ;D Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on February 25, 2012, 02:56:05 AM "Those who seek progress and reform in this region must unite behind Snowstalker," Governor Napoleon said. "We need someone with experience who understands the complexity of this region's problems. We cannot afford to treat this election as anything other than an election which will decide the future of this region. I am looking forward to a Regional Renaissance, but I need Snowstalker's assistance."
- New York Times front page Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on March 02, 2012, 09:58:33 AM Vote for Snowstalker in the special election!! :)
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on March 06, 2012, 04:19:07 PM A Statement on Debate Northeasterners, I was elected on a platform of reforming this region and I intend to work with the Assembly to ensure that Northeast institutions are established and stable for future administrations. I have concerns about the debate tactics of those who are less hopeful and enthusiastic about the region's future. I have tried to foster a healthy debate on these changes. During the transitionary period and for the past week as well, Assemblymen had the opportunity to participate in a SOAP reform. While my administration is supportive of such efforts, we sought input. That some did not provide it over a two week period is disappointing. I do not find outrage and controversy to be helpful to improving this region when mature debate is a possibility. Let us keep this in mind in the future. I have always said reform should be an inclusive effort and I maintain that line of thought as Governor. We can make a difference. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on April 05, 2012, 06:07:47 PM I am formally requesting the Assembly to reinstate the third legislative slot in some form or another. There are many low profile items I would like to work with the Assembly on without detracting from anything else. Thank you, Governor Napoleon Citizens, I need your help encouraging positive legislative reform to allow us to move this region forward. Thank you for your help! :) Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on April 19, 2012, 08:25:07 PM Hey guys, I have creates the polling booth and will open it at midnight for voting. I want everybody to voice their opinion in this election. If any one finds any errors let me know now so I can fix them ASAP.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on April 19, 2012, 10:43:39 PM Im going to open voting in twenty minutes, and am asking Northeastern voters to vote AYE on Constitutional Amendment 1. I would like to get these budget reforms taken care of now, so that I can work with the Assembly to make the process simpler for future Governors and Assemblies.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on April 23, 2012, 08:37:48 AM Congrats to Winfield, Pyrofox, Wormyguy, Simfan and Averroes Nix on being elected to the Northeast Assembly. I look forward to a fun and productive session.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on April 30, 2012, 10:33:10 PM Northeastners, I have introduced a bill that will increase the minimum wage in the region. i find it unfair to our poorest workers that they are provided the same wage as someone doing the same work in Kansas, when the cost of living is so much higher here in the Northeast. With a reduced workweek, it is important that we ensure families have enough income to keep food on the table, and that students with entry-level jobs will earn enough to help reducing their loan burden.
Congrats to Winfield, Pyrofox, Wormyguy, Simfan and Averroes Nix on being elected to the Northeast Assembly. I look forward to a fun and productive session. Do you have an official list of priorities? I would very much like to address our fiscal situation, though I'll wait for you to draft a budget before taking any action myself. I'm sure that there are other issues to be addressed as well. My priorities are developing a long term budget procedure, implementing a tax policy, getting old statute up to date, and cleaning up the remaining mess we are in before you are (hopefully) elected. :) Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 06, 2012, 05:20:08 PM I would like my supporters to vote for Alfred Jones in the upcoming election, as I intend to. Alfred Jones was an active Senator and reformer, I believe he has a bright future here in this region and our Assembly could use his talents. On Friday, go with Mr. Jones!
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 06, 2012, 05:31:30 PM Not that I am aware of, but maybe we can change the vacancy filling act.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on May 06, 2012, 05:35:02 PM I think that the region initially did have a law that allowed the governor to appoint vacancies in the government, but most of the time we just held special elections anyway and abolished vacancy appointments some time when Snowstalker was governor.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 06, 2012, 05:41:10 PM Scott, do you know where I can find this legislation? Was it an amendment to our constitution, which presumably would have been required? Actually, appointment is the constitutional default. :D A hold over from the old Constitution that isn't used because statute is what determines how we fill vacancies. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on May 06, 2012, 05:43:27 PM The constitution on the Wiki says as follows.
Quote 8. Vacancies in the Legislative Assembly shall be filled in a manner specified by Law, and until such determination is made, by Gubernatorial appointment. Vacancies occur upon resignation, recall, impeachment, failure to swear in within one week of the legislative session’s opening, failure to vote on three consecutive pieces of legislation without publicly declaring absence, or failure to participate in Assembly debate for one month. But notice how it says "specified by Law", which was done by, I believe, The Vacancy-filling Act. I forget exactly what we did with it or where it is, unfortunately. :P Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on May 06, 2012, 05:52:49 PM Ah, I see. I thought that it meant that the office should be filled in the manner specified by law (i.e. special election), and that until the winner of the election was determined, the governor could appoint a temporary Representative. The language is ambiguous. I would like to set about repealing the Vacancy-Filling Act. Do you know for sure that that is the official title? I believe so, but why would you like to repeal it? Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 06, 2012, 05:54:48 PM I oppose removing the voice of the voters but would be fine with temporary appointments.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 06, 2012, 09:41:08 PM My proposal to increase the region's minimum wage has passed the Assembly unanimously. Former Senator Nathan is invited to join me at the signing ceremony.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 07, 2012, 03:46:42 PM Introduced the Northeast Budget Procedure Act...looking forward to a healthy debate.
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 10, 2012, 11:19:58 AM Attention all! The first referendum under the Northeast Constitution Article IV will take place when the election is hold tomorrow.
Quote Vacancy Mitigation Act of 2012 1. When a vacancy occurs in the Northeast Assembly, the Governor shall have the power to appoint an Interim Representative. 2. Interim Representatives have the same powers as elected Representatives. 3. Interim Representatives serve until a special election to fill the vacancy is held and a new elected Representative is sworn in. 4. The Assembly may expel an Interim Representative by a majority vote of elected Representatives. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 15, 2012, 02:40:45 AM Northeasterners,
It seems the region has been collecting taxes by state at 2005 rates this year. What this means for the treasury I do not know yet but as the budget moves forward the necessary changes will be made to ensure a fair, regional policy. We do have a revenue stream however. Thank you, Governor Napoleon Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on May 15, 2012, 02:44:58 AM I thought all the taxes we had were repealed. :P
Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on May 15, 2012, 02:46:34 AM I thought all the taxes we had were repealed. :P Quote from: Repealed Tax Law The March 2005 Tax Initiative Wiki link (https://uselectionatlas.org/AFEWIKI/index.php/Northeast_March_2005_Tax_Initiative)Income Tax All individual state income taxes are hereby repealed and replaced with a regionwide 5.5% flat tax. Sales Tax All individual state sales taxes are hereby repealed and replaced with a regionwide 7.1% sales tax. Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on June 05, 2012, 06:32:06 PM I have put forth a bill to aid college students earning good grades.

Title: Re: Office of Northeast Governor Napoleon (Hartford) Post by: Napoleon on June 20, 2012, 12:34:51 AM Governor Napoleon's Farewell Address
For four months, I have had the honor and privilege to serve as Governor of the Great Northeast, and I cannot begin to express the gratitude I owe this region for having faith in me. Today, I leave this office, wishing the best of luck to my successor and friend, Speaker Averroes Nix. I have no doubt that he will make us proud to be Northeasterners. This region has made great strides over the last year and a half. No longer do we have vacant positions. No longer do we have inactive office holders. No longer do we have a mess of a Constitution. No longer are we the laughingstock of Atlasia: indeed, we are a model region that other regions can observe and learn from. Friends, we have together proven that regions can work. Today, as I move out of this office I have loved working from, I want you to join me and reflect on all that we have accomplished together. First, however, I must give credit where credit is due, and much is due. I need to thank Bgwah, for inviting me to join this game as a member of the Jesus Christ party back in February 2011 and the other assistance he has offered me since then. I need to thank 20RP12, or as I like to call him, Jake Matthews, who first told me that I was unknowingly elected to the Northeast Assembly, helped me get started in Atlasia, and worked with me to reform a Northeast government in a state of complete disarray. I must thank President Polnut, who I have learned a great deal from and whose gubernatorial campaign in February 2011 served as the catalyst for the reform movement in the Northeast. I owe my thanks to Cincinnatus, who was a great ally in helping pass the new Northeast Constitution and reforming Assembly procedure to allow for better political debate and activity. I have to thank Governor Winfield, for keeping the reform movement afloat as we went through an unfortunate period following my election to the Senate. I also must thank Dallasfan65, for the courage he showed in supporting me when so much pressure was placed on him not to. Of course, I owe thanks to Snowstalker, Nathan, and Scott, friends of mine that were instrumental in passing the new Constitution and helping to re-establish a progressive movement after Polnut’s defeat. And of course, I must thank the Representatives I have worked with as Governor: Averroes Nix, Wormyguy, PyroFox, Snowstalker, Simfan, Winfield, and Alfred Jones. To everyone else who has supported me along the way, including my good friend Snowguy who is no longer with us: I appreciate it. Thank you. Tomorrow, I will no longer be your Governor. For the first time in an entire year, I will be without an office. It has been quite a ride; I won’t forget a minute of it. I hope that my successor can take this foundation we’ve laid and build on it- build something marvelous and spectacular. After all, this is a game, it is meant to be fun, so why not have as much fun as possible? We have a Constitution that works for us. We have an Assembly that can move legislation and have active debates. We have citizens that care and are involved. You can only take out of this game what you put in. I hope that what I have put in works for you positively. During my administration, we have expanded access to higher education for Northeastern students, provided Northeastern workers with equity in compensation, made our roads safer, protected citizens from frivolous and expensive lawsuits, created a regional bank, moved our region toward cleaner energy, and made changes to the regional government, including increased transparency and information with the Northeast Annals Act, simplified candidacy declarations that use the same rules as federal declarations, established a budget procedure, setting the stage for vibrant political debate in the future, and made filling vacancies easier on the Assembly’s day to day functions. I can’t wait to see Governor Averroes Nix continue the progress made so far. And so, I offer my advice: to him, and to you all: this is a game. This is not the Olympics. Play the game, and have fun. Do not feel the need to “win” at all costs. The only way to win in Atlasia is to enjoy the discussions and interactions you have with fellow posters. Never will it be worth it to hold a grudge. If Mr. Tmthforu and I can set aside our differences and have fun, any of you can, and I hope you do. This weekend you will have the opportunity to vote for me for President of Atlasia and I would love your vote. There are many strong tickets and I appreciate everything that they have brought to the campaign. If I have earned your support, I can win. I look forward to having the opportunity to serve you once more, and continuing the work in progress at the federal level. Thank you for coming out and good luck in the bright future ahead.
