Northeast Assembly Thread

This is terrible. At 16 kids are still in high school. Do they go home from school and then do porn at night?

Kids ? Am I a kid ?!?

Yes a 16 year old is a kid.

You must be a virgin. Come on, if this weren't Atlas I'd be able to say we all had sex by then, but most people here aren't into girls for some reason. Either way, this is a great change.

Yeah! Great change! Why stop at 16 though! Let's make it 8 years old!

Because there is a big difference between 16 and 8, I doubt you even know the current legal standing anyways so you might as well be quiet. I could've made it 14. I was comfortable at that age and so are many others. Be happy with what you get.

It's pretty sickening that you are "comfortable" with child porn.

This has nothing to do with porn you idiot. This is age of consent. What are you smoking?

When you have old men having sex with 14 year old girls that is pretty much child porn.

It feels so lonely being one of the only people here with any sense of morals or values.

You have no morals or values. Also, you're a terrible Senator. And a terrible Northeasterner. You don't eve know the current law on this issue.

Oh right, wanting young teenagers to have sex with adults is having morals, I forgot. Silly me.

[Rowan]

It's tough when one of them is on mod review constantly.

[Rowan]

"Class" is a perfectly appropriate term, and more succinct to boot.

Do you get tired of parroting whatever Hamilton says?

[Rowan]

Hamilton and Libertas have continued to flaunt the system and will now not be able to post at all. All of their posts will be deleted, whether it has to do with their elected offices or jobs because they continue to post when they are not allowed to.

Sewer is still allowed to take part here since he's not spamming this board still. If he continues not spamming like he has been I'll take him off Atlasia's troll list. Before that though I forgot for a second and deleted his newest post about abstaining.

Deleting posts in this thread is patently unfair to this Assembly and the citizens of the Northeast who elected those two people. 

Hearing what happened, I now declare the vote on the amendment a 3-3 TIE to be broken by the Lt. Governor.  I will inform Lt. Governor Smid that his vote is needed.

How about the Assembly expel the members that bring such shame to the body?

We have no express power to do so.  The Joe Wilson Act takes any power we may have had in that area away from us.

A verdict on the Joe Wilson Act is coming soon.

[Rowan]

hey could one of you guys make an amendment that you must be polite in the assembly. And consequences if you aren't. It is just an idea.

We have the thing called "Joe Wilson Act". Rowan declared this unconstitutional.

why?

Freedom of speech and separation of powers.  The governor had a role in enforcing the Joe Wilson Act, which was one reason why it was struck down.

It's not clear that even Assembly standards on decorum would be constitutional.  CJO RowanBrandon's decision was fairly broad on the Freedom of Speech point.

Intentionally I might add.

[Rowan]

How about an amendment to make me CJO for life?

[Rowan]

OK, so, uh, now that we're all here, what exactly should we do first?

Get a bill that raises the minimum wage and cuts small business taxes, on my desk pronto.

[Rowan]

I repeat my request to the Assembly, please get me a bill that increases the minimum wage and cuts small business taxes on my desk, ASAP. The people of the Northeast are counting on you.

Sorry for not getting it to you sooner, the bill was lost during the whole situation where we needed to create another legislation thread, but I have asked Representative WilliamSargent (who wrote the initial bill) to submit it in the new legislation thread, so the bill should hopefully be coming into the Assembly for debate soon.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

[Rowan]

Are you guys still working? I vetoed the Balanced Budget act a few days.

[Rowan]

The small businesses also get a tax cut in my proposal that would offset the extra costs that they would incur(though this current bill is poorly written). My intent is on a bill that would be cost neutral for the small businesses. I won't sign a bill that doesn't do that.

Could it perhaps be a carrot instead of a stick?

Well what do you have in mind?

[Rowan]

Wasn't the Governor supposed to give his input on what he wanted to see in a BBA?

I wanted to. But I didn't realize you were going to take it up so soon. I'll just sign it now anyway since after thinking about it, 90% of what I want is better than not getting what I want at all.

[Rowan]

While I agree with the notion that our current system is a little difficult to figure out, I believe it is the fairest system and I'm reluctant to change it.

[Rowan]

It's been over a week since the Assembly has conducted any business. What's going on guys?

[Rowan]

I would like to submit legislation.

Go for it.

[Rowan]

Sorry Gov, looks like we've been out partyin a bit too much.

And you didn't invite me??

[Rowan]

Is that legal?
