     Aside from bringing up the budget bill first, my other big request is to bring up the SOIL bill last. Should we pass that, I want to put together everything we've passed pertaining to the standing orders & discuss further modifications & expansions to them. There's a great deal that is written down but not implemented or implemented but not written down. Just now we had confusion over who should conduct the announcements of candidacy for Imperial Speaker.

I agree with you on that, it's just simple modifications on the standing rules. We should be able to get more accomplished now
