Let us do what we can in these next few months to make the Northeast the fairest region of Atlasia. I look forward to a productive, constructive and respectful session.

Warm regards to all.

I am trying to be an active Lieutenant Governor, but it would appear that to date some of the Assembly members have not shown up to new session of the Assembly.  In fact, only one Assembly member has made an opening statement to date.

Opening statements are not mandatory, of course, but I thought this would be a nice gesture with which to open the new session of the Assembly.

I will give one more day, today, which is Saturday, June 25, for opening remarks by members, then I will call for nominations, or nomination, from the floor of the Assembly for the position of Speaker of the Assembly. 

Once the Speaker has been duly elected by the Assembly, we can then proceed on debate of proposed legislation.  I see there is one item of proposed legislation in the legislation thread, which I will bring to the Assembly floor after the election of the Speaker.

So I ask all members of this Assembly to please show up to the session so we can proceed with the business of the Northeast region.

Thank you.

Assemblymen,

As Governor, I would like to see legislation proposed to decrease the number of Assembly seats to 5.

Thank you.

Legislation cannot accomplish that. We would need to change the Constitution.

I'm here.

I'm also fairly certain Napoleon is no longer an assemblyman.

GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE

ARTICLE V - LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

vii) The number of Reps to be elected corresponds to the entire part of the quotient C/6, with C being the number of citizens in the Northeast Region as of the third Friday at 12:00:00am EST of the month of the election.

Unles the constitution has been amended since, this is the constitutional requirement for the number of representatives.

I, for one, can and will not support an Assembly composed of more than four members.

Four members seems small, I'm not sure if that would pass the citizen vote.

So you want to reduce the amount of Assemblymen, but would vote against reducing it to 5? Hm.

Touché. Of course I want to see the size of the assembly reduced - by any amount. My point, however, is that I want it to be reduced to a size that is as small as possible. I will insist upon a three- or four-member assembly, and support a larger assembly size only begrudgingly.

To be fair, it has been a hectic weekend. I did introduce a bill that I hope is passed.

Agreed. And by the way, that bill looks like something I can support.

Northeast Governor Winfield addresses the Assembly

The next agenda item for the Northeast Assembly to consider is the selection of a Speaker of the Assembly.

Please elect a Speaker.

Napoleon, please repost the bill you are referring to so the Assembly can consider it. Was this bill voted on and passed before the end of the previous session, or did it die on the order paper at the end of the previous session?

Pretty certain he's talking about this one.

Natural Beauty Preservation Act

No billboard advertisements may be placed along roads, highways, freeways, or interstates in areas classified as rural.
Municipalities shall have the power to ban billboards within their jurisdiction.

Thank you.

However, it seems to me that if this bill was not passed before the end of the last session that it would have died on the order paper.  As I was not present for the last session, please clarify the situation with this bill.

If it did in fact die on the order paper, in order for it to be considered and voted on, it would have to be reintroduced by the current Governor, i.e. myself, or by a  current member of the Assembly.  So if this bill died on the order paper, is there a member of the Assembly who wishes to reintroduce this bill for the consideration of the Assembly?

But before this is dealt with, the Assembly is to elect a Speaker.  So I ask the Representatives to elect a Speaker as soon as possible.

Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Homelycooking, Fallen Morgan, Wormyguy, Cincinnatus, and Elyski for their election to the Assembly.  The Northeast is fortunate to have these fine Representatives dealing with the affairs of the Northeast.
