I rather like Dallasfan's amendment.  Originally I was a bit wary of the bill.  Although, I don't know about "or if such a strike is detrimental to the business of the Northeast Government."  That gives too much leeway for abuse, in my opinion.

The Constitution could be read easier if it were all on a single wiki page, I don't have much patience to go through a gazillion windows for something largely based on the US Constitution and maintaining little relevance to the position I'm actually serving. I hope someone with a wiki account could actually adress this concern too.

I've had this same issue.  It would be nice if it were on a single page.

I like Segway's proposed text.

I'll stop bothering you guys.  Carry on.

I agree that it might be sensible to mention something about justifiable use of deadly force, for defense of property.

Then why not just add "justifiable" somewhere in the bill such as:

The Northeast Region shall protect the right of any citizen to use lethal, justifiable force to protect his life, liberty, or property.


And whether or not force was "justifiable" is up for the courts to decide, on a case-by-case sort of basis.

May I have everyone's attention?

I just received this bit of news:

Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

The Union has made three requests:

1. An executive order clarifying that Section 1 of the Practical Labor Policy Act will allow all standing contracts with UNEPSE to come to term before re-negotiation.

2. An assurance that Section 3 of the PLPA will be removed in amending legislation with the support of the governor.

3. A law that promotes standard wage increases over profit-sharing, through economic incentives for businesses to use the former or to not use the latter.

What is your take on this?  I can certainly provide for the first request, but it's up to you for the last two.

I will oppose any attempts to amend the law and fully oppose any legislation supported by Stern and his cronies. I will be leading a coalition that will hope to persuade the governor to approve immediate contract renegotiation.

I am up for contract renegotiation, if the legislature would prefer it.

Now please, see if you can irk out some kind of compromise on the Union demands.  I have provided for their first grievance, and now it's up to you for the rest, no matter what you decide to do.  I am up for anything that would make life less painful for everyone.  Marokai, even if we may disagree, I thank you for your input.

As GM, I should make clear that this is a negotiation, not a list of demands. The point is to share ideas, talk and provide offers/counter-offers until a deal is struck. While rhetoric may be nice, it doesn't solve the issue.

I just have a scatterbrained grasp of the English language, is all.

As said before, pretty much anybody who runs would get elected to the Assembly.  Reducing the size of the legislature would certainly fix this problem.

Friendly note:

Cut the size of your legislature to three, immediately.
We already passed an amendment to be on the ballot in May, reducing it to six.

Six is way too many.

Really now?  Maybe three is too many.  Perhaps we should have one member of the legislature.

Don't be ridiculous.

You just elected four people to your legislature. The Mideast had a three-man legislature for a long time and it worked well.

Three people in a legislature doesn't really give a whole lot of room for diversity of views.

I approve of this legislation.  Some may find it morally abhorrent to provide needles to drug abusers, but government should not infringe on personal liberty to force morality, and instead should simply deal with the facts of life in the Northeast.  People are always going to be injecting sh-t into their veins, and there is nothing we can do about it.  We can at least make sure that they do not catch diseases, which would take a burden off of our health care system.

Though I must ask, are drug abusers really going to take the needles?  I think there should be some sort of provision in place, providing that these needles be freely available at hospitals and the like.

I assume I was elected, since I got the PM from Dallas?

I agree with AndrewCT.  There are good reasons for why election results are delayed, and putting an arbitrary limit like this does little good.

Aye

Are we going to send a delegate to the Convention, or something?

I will nominate myself as delegate, though I will also second Dallasfan's nomination.
