Just sayin', you guys should hold a recommendation vote on the Lieutenant Governorship, since I believe it is still vacant.

Would one have to volunteer to be recommended to such a position or would there be a flat out recommendation?

I suppose you could just flat out make a recommendation, but it's completely non-binding and the Governor gets to appoint whoever he wants. It's just a formality.

Mkay. I recommend either Hantheguitarman or Eraserhead to be our Lt. Governor.

I know Han well enough to vouch that he will not serve. The same can probably said for Eraserhead.

What about Smid or Marokai? I'm not sure if Marokai is even registered in the NE anymore. I know that Homelycooking just registered and he's learning the game, so if he's interested...

We never brought our previous work to a final vote. Can we just let this die already before moving on?

I'll make my feelings on the Lt. Governor known in a few minutes.

Regardless of your feelings on the Lieutenant Governorship (which are likely similar to my own) the office needs to be occupied.

Naturally, the Assembly should first do whatever bill is at hand right now - I was just reminding everybody that the office is currently vacant and needs to be filled. Cinyc may be willing to do it.

I vote Aye on the NE Legislative Salary Cuts Act of 2011

[Napoleon]

I vote Nay, and I think it would be best to have a left-wing Lt. Governor since we have a right-wing Governor.

Marokai would be perfect for the job then.

[Napoleon]

I was thinking of homelycooking, but Marokai would be great too, I think.

Homelycooking is perfect in my mind. He's new to Atlasia and this is an office that would really help him learn about our political system. However, Marokai has experience in politics.

[Napoleon]

Ideally my amendment will pass and this issue will disappear.

We will now vote on the NE Assembly Salary Cuts Act of 2011.

Aye

[Rowan]

Frivolous.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Frivolous.

How so?

[tpfkaw]

Aye

I guess I'll throw my hat in for Lt. Governor if someone wants to point me towards a general guide of what the hell the job consists of.

Not to be crude, but what the hell does this mean?

Making sure that debate goes steadily, voted on at the correct time, making sure not just one person is proposing legislation

[Marokai Backbeat]

I had the same thought so don't feel bad. It seems like it's basically some sort of supervisory position than one that actually exercises any powers.

When did you move here? And I think I'm illegally the current Lt. Governor.
