The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I would oppose anything that's not affirmative action on this file. I say we begin with those most in need, and then see if the market reacts properly, if so, then and only then would I support another minor expansion, to those who make less than $20,000 a year, etc etc.

Wait, why would it cost $56 billion?

That is the max cost based on amount of citizens 5-18 and the max amount of $ they can get

That makes sense, though unless I'm reading the bill wrong, shouldn't the maximum projected cost be $140,000,000,000?

I know very little of how voucher programs have been implemented, so I'm going to do my homework on this before making any substantial suggestions.

I mispoke... 140B is the total cost but because it is means tested similar to Pell Grants and other federal aid programs, I capped it at 56B to match the School Choice line item

re making any substantial suggestions.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Voucher programs usually find a way to take money out of the existing public system. One of the reasons I could back a compromise, is that we are not doing that.

This is what I meant to type earlier but accidentally put it in the quote

     Well, the sponsor of the bill has resigned. Someone else can take up sponsorship if they want, or we could move on to some other bill. What do the Legislators want to do?

[Yelnoc]

I don't want to sponsor because I don't think I understand well enough how voucher systems work/are implemented.  Does anybody else want to?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

I do not wish too, for the reasons Yelnoc stated but also because a lack of desire to fool around with the budget.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I say we should move on.

[All Along The Watchtower]

I say we should move on.

I second this.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I say we should move on.

I second this.

Shouldn't your change your name to read "Current" ?

[Yelnoc]

Very well then, let's go ahead and knock this one out.

Eh, looks alright.

[Yelnoc]

Eh, looks alright.

Except we need a replacement for "Darth" which is a noun, and we need to look up the name of the statute it would amend.  IIRC, it was called "What's in a Name?".

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Yep, here is the page, it is an amendment, I am told that is important.

As for a replacement to Darth, we can go with Legislator, Executor, Cowboy, Ranch Hand. THose are just my ideas

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I think just Legislator is fine. I think it would be awesome if we became our own country & then called the Legislature the Imperial Senate. As is though, that would just cause confusion.

[Yelnoc]

Legislator is good, that's what I have always called it.  How does this look?

Most provinces here in Canada use MLA, as does Northern Ireland.

     The use of "legislature" is a powerful enduring legacy of the cultural influence of the IDS. Long ago, people referred to "regional assemblies". The storied saga of the Imperial Legislature and its creation was what popularized the term "regional legislatures". To bring such a word as "assembly" into our region, even in a simple acronym, could be construed as being anti-Southern.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exactly.

[Yelnoc]

Sorry teddy, but I'm going to have to reject that amendment.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Then I propose it an unfriendly amendment.

[Yelnoc]

lol

Anything else?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Then I propose it an unfriendly amendment.

I withdraw said amendment.
