Title: Re: FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Debating) Post by: Former President tack50 on March 22, 2019, 06:12:38 PM While approval from this parliament is not required, it is my wish that the bill involving this resolution is also supported by the government of Fremont, as I do not intend to pass it against the will of the regional government.
If this resolution is against said bill, I will formally ask the House to vote against it when it goes there; or if it's passed I might consider a repeal. Similarly, if the resolution is in favour of the bill I will do my best to convince the House and the president to pass it. Title: Re: FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Debating) Post by: YE on March 22, 2019, 06:20:23 PM Basically, do you guys approve of SB 9010 (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=315131.msg6709903#msg6709903) or no? I am not a member of this body so it's not up for me to decide but y'all should discuss this.

Title: Re: FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Debating) Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on March 23, 2019, 12:03:19 PM I PMed YE and both our senators for their opinion on the railway and didn't receive any responses, so I would like input from other members of the Fremont government.
In my opinion, the bill would be of more benefit to Canada than Fremont and the cities of Whitefish, and especially Shelby, MT, are too small for the region to benefit and therefore we would likely be hit with a loss if we were to agree to fund it. There is also no set amount for how much we would need to shell out for this project and so Parliament would have to approve those funds at a later time. So for those reasons, I lean opposed to SB 9010.

So for those reasons, I lean opposed to SB 9010. For what's worth, I decided to extend the line all the way up to Seattle. That was already a possibility, but made it a mandate instead in the ammendment. (otherwise the route wouldn't make sense). I think the Seattle-Calgary part would see decent traffic, as well as the parts of the line in Canada up to Winnipeg. The only part of the line that I could see bleeding money is anything further east than Winnipeg, but that would be in Canada anyways. Of course, the resolution could end up being meaningless as the vote in the Senate right now is 2-2 (with Devout Centrist abstaining and Sen. ON Progressive not having voted yet). So either ON Progressive (who represents Fremont in the Senate) or Vice President Lumine (a Fremont citizen) will break up the tie.

I still have problems with Section V2 because it obligates Fremont and Canada to allocate an unspecified amount of money that both Canada and Parliament would still need to approve at a later time. I am not sure how it is constitutional to compel a region or another country to foot the bill for a federal project, but the bill also doesn't prescribe any type of penalty or consequence for a party that doesn't agree to pay, which renders it unenforceable. Title: Re: FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Debating) Post by: AustralianSwingVoter on March 23, 2019, 05:51:19 PM I am also opposed to SB 9010. It's a useless passenger service that has only been introduced because Bruhg made it a meme on LokCord and tack promised to do it to get Bruhg's vote.
Title: Re: FT 10-22: Resolution on SB 9010 (Debating) Post by: AustralianSwingVoter on March 24, 2019, 08:14:11 AM I withdraw the motion to table. On second thoughts, i realise that this resolution is a good way to try and kill this stupid bill federally.
