Northeast Assembly Thread

[Free Palestine]

I approve of this change to my title. 

[The Age Wave]

Haha what?

Motion to table and proceed to next legislation.

[redcommander]

I apologize for my absence Speaker. The unnamed amendment concerning Article IV of the Northeast Constitution is an excellent idea. Chief Executive is a much less status related title for the head of the region and should be considered.

[President Mitt]

I oppose this, and I urge we move quickly on this so we can move on to other more important areas in the Assembly.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I approve of this change to my title. 

Chief Executive Morgan Brykein sound good?

I support shortening the period of debate too.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Opposed, and would like to shorten debate.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

I apologize for my absence, speaker.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

And I oppose the proposed name change.

[cinyc]

Opposed, and would like to shorten debate.

I'd shorten the debate, but I can only do so for up to 12 hours under Lt. Govenor's correct interpretation of the SOAP.   I don't want to open a vote at 2:30 AM.  I suppose I can shorten debate until about 8AM on Monday, if I have time to open up the vote.  Often times,  I don't have time in the mornings, though.  I'll try.

I am opposed to this amendment as well.   I see no reason to change the name of the Governor and don't want to waste money changing over highway signs and stationery.

By the way, what should we be doing about the strike?

[Purple State]

By the way, what should we be doing about the strike?

Just a note:

I will be on a bus for the most part of tomorrow and will be away for a holiday from Monday night to Wednesday night. As such, I'm going to just declare those worker "holidays" where there is no strike, but no work either.

Basically, an eventual tally of impact will not include the days that I could not further the story line. Just want to make sure that my absence does not negatively affect your region.

[redcommander]

I may be absent during debate on this issue depending on whether or not it is shortened or lengthened due to school, but I will try and be present during the voting process.

[President Mitt]

I have introduced a bill that would give Governor Morgan authority to put a volunteer police force into the streets for the moment with the police on strike. I urge the assembly bring it up to the floor as quickly as possible.

Is that a motion to immediately bring the bill to the floor simultaneously with this bill or after the current bill is off the floor?

[Barnes]

This is the Attorney General keeping you guys updated. The Northeast Emergency Militia Act may be in conflict with Article I, Section 7, Clause 7 of the Constitution:

Of course, I'm sure the Senate would be willing to give its consent.

"Volunteer police force"? This may be a game but that still doesn't mean you can just conjure things up like that. We're talking about an entire region's law enforcement here. Further, even assuming for the sake of argument you could make a police force for an entire region appear out of thin air, I would have serious concerns about their training and behavior on the job..

[cinyc]

The vote on the following proposed constitutional amendment is now open:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This vote shall remain open until the earlier of 8:40 AM Eastern on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, or when all Representatives shall have voted.  Note that because this is a proposed Amendment, a higher vote requirement applies for passage.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

To the Lt. Governor and Speaker:


Hey Guys, Andrew sent me a Facebook message today saying that he is unable to log into the Forum and isn't missing votes intentionally. As you might be aware, other people (including me!) are having the same problem.

As am I, except from my cell phone.

We might have to hold this vote open a bit until things are fixed.

[redcommander]

Aye

[President Mitt]

Apologize for the absence, I was having issues with my account. Nay
