If I get more members, I'll start organizing a party.

It looks like the repeal of the What's in a Name? Amendment has passed with Miles, myself, Yankee, and Duke voting for repeal, Yelnoc, PiT, and Dibble against.

I must say I'm very pleased with this result. Tongue

btw-

Governor PiT,

The voting booth needs to be locked.


I don't think either one has anything...

     Incorrect, it failed, due to receiving less than 2/3rds ayes. I made a mistake, though, because I did not realize at first that the 2/3rds figure excludes abstentions, which means that the second amendment passed.

     Also, I do not think that it can be proposed again until two more monthly initiative elections have been held (look at the sixth initiative in that thread), which is effectively never since we don't have them anymore.

Why don't we have monthly initiative elections anymore?  It sounds like we need to do some more Constitutional Amendment to bring the IDS up to date.

    Because we rarely have initiatives anymore. I think it would be proper to interpret that Nay Means Nay Amendment to elapse when there should be a regularly-scheduled initiative vote, even if there isn't. Otherwise even if we had tons of initiatives the Emperor could just bring them all to emergency votes & thereby keep a failed initiative off-limits indefinitely.

There's only one thing I can say about that-

That really sucks.

I know we're still in that "Holiday Season" between Christmas and New Years but does anyone have any legislative proposals?

     I suggest we pursue more infrastructure projects. Our region is still middling in unemployment, & major infrastructure projects could help relieve that. Problem is, I am not really aware of where new infrastructure is needed most. Embarrassed

The problem with using infrastructure projects to bring down unemployment is nowadays the people out of work are more highly skilled workers who won't consider those jobs.  And it creates a major budget sinkhole.

With that said, if someone can point out somewhere that infrastructure truely needs to be improved I would support legislation to fix it.

     Rather than continuing to focus on specific projects on the regional level, we could refer the remainder of the alotted funds down to the state level, allowing the make-believe officeholders there to dispense them as they see fit.

     After all, one of the major problems of real-life federalists is that they often will propose policy ideas as if operating under the assumption that the state & federal governments are the only two levels of government. Perhaps the region should just move the infrastructure funds to the next level down, since those folks are more in tune with what the people need.

So wait, we do have sub-levels of government?  I was under the impression that the region was the lowest? 

If so, that's a good plan.
