Northeast Assembly Thread

[segwaystyle2012]

I would be glad to accept this nomination and sincerely hope I am given this chance to prove myself. Thank you for considering me as a candidate.

[segwaystyle2012]

Hamilton has been banned. You can commence to get rid of him now if that doesn't automatically happen.

How long is he banned for?

He told me he was banned forever.

[segwaystyle2012]

Permenantly. Though I hear he has 6-10+ accounts in waiting from reliable sources.

I just asked and he said he only has one.

[segwaystyle2012]

Damn.. okay.. I gotta figure out what to do. I know that he wanted to resign and get GJ into his seat, but not sure if he did that or not. If he didnt, we will have to wait to get an appointment in.

I am still open to serving but I don't want my friendship with him to be a hindrance to anything or anyone else.

[segwaystyle2012]

I support both amendments because I believe they will help the Assembly legislate more efficiently and effectively.

[segwaystyle2012]

Yeah, now it's time to chill. You are both awesome persons who don't need to come to such quarrels.

And BTW, the like between overweigh and health problem, even though it exists, is not so strong as you seem to believe. Real problems come only with serious obesity. Weighing 90 or 100 kg for an adult isn't a health problem.

It is if you are 5'5".

We should be fighting obesity, not accepting it.

[segwaystyle2012]

Separation of powers is necessary.

[segwaystyle2012]

The bill is useless meaningless garbage holding up the queue and preventing real legislation from being discussed.

So gut it with an amendment.

You have a shell. Why waste the time to vote this down and bring up a new bill when you can remove the current language, put in language you do like and actually accomplish something with this?

Unless you don't believe the government should have anything to do with reducing the region's obesity rate, in which case voting this down as quickly as possible without amending it is the intelligent thing to do.

Stop barging in. The Populares have work to do. We have to get these amendments on the damn ballot so we don't have to wait four months longer. This unnecessary and poorly-written trash needs to be tossed out so we can get some actual work done. Please, Speaker, let the Assembly focus on some much needed amendments before the opportunity is lost for four more months.

I thought this was the Northeast Assembly. What does the work of the Populares have anything to do with service to your citizens?

We have committed ourselves to game reform and have important amendments we need to get on the ballot before the election.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

You mean a legislature shouldn't prioritize?

[segwaystyle2012]

Actually I have recently proposed 2 bills, but I wouldn't mind them actually being considered as one since they both have similar aims.

We can't consider your two proposed amendments as one since they are on different topics and all legislation can only be on one topic.  You are free to move to consider the Northeast Senate Amendment right now, if you wish.  It would be put to a vote and needs a majority to be considered simultaneously with the proposed amendment currently on the floor.

Alright then, how much longer will we have to wait for this "Health Act"?

Health Act is done for now, since the *current* Governor decided he likes to A. appoint people who can't write legislation and B. appoint people who are so inactive they can't break ties.

You can go ahead with this amendment and motion for the second to be considered simultaneously.

[segwaystyle2012]

I think its rather out of decorum for the executive to come in here and attempt to dictate how members of this Assembly vote on an issue related to his own power.

I am soooooooooo sorry! Since Libertas has said that, I will never make any suggestions, comments, requests, or hell, even speak to any member of the Assembly about anything ever again. Sorry for intruding!

Why should anyone trust YOU to make an appointment?

[segwaystyle2012]

I wouldn't say that nor should the left considering you appointed Hamilton.

[segwaystyle2012]

When is the Speaker vote?

[segwaystyle2012]

Congratulations! I'm not expecting to be on tomorrow for the record. I guess the special election results will be a surprise.

[segwaystyle2012]

Amendments I offer:

#1

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Governor FallenMorgan for saving the region from total destruction at the hands of his predecessor.

#2

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Lt. Governor Libertas for working extra hard in two branches of government to represent what the people of the region have asked for rather than backing down to the loud and obnoxious opposition.

#3

Thanking Resolution

Northeast Assembly is hereby thanking Antonio V for getting the hell out of here.

[segwaystyle2012]

Aye for all

[segwaystyle2012]

NAY!

[segwaystyle2012]

The Northeast has the power to run it's own elections. This is simply an exercise of this right protecting us from federal intrusion.

[segwaystyle2012]

Maybe the CJO or Lt. Governor can maintain the list.

[segwaystyle2012]

Aye

[segwaystyle2012]

As I oppose toll roads and gasoline taxes, I will offer an amendment.

1.  The Free Highway Access Act of 2009 is repealed.   

2.  The Northeast Region shall eliminate all tolls from public roads by 31 August 2010.

3.  The Northeast Region shall tax all used vehicle sales at 3% to cover road maintenance costs.

[segwaystyle2012]

The run-off is a good idea. We need SOAP to allow for a procedure to reconcile with incompatible amendments. I might write up an amendment if I have time.

[segwaystyle2012]

For reference, here is my full report on the Free Highway Access Act of 2009. Not sure if it will be helpful, but good to have since it's all the way back on page 8 of the GM thread.

Thanks, though we are going to have to replace much more revenue than I expected. Any ideas out there?

[segwaystyle2012]

1. Abstain
2. Aye

[segwaystyle2012]

Abstain
