Jake, some have been suggesting that the SoIA is a useless position and should be eliminated.  What specifically will you do, if confirmed to the position, to improve the game and make it a position worth keeping?

First of all, thank you for the question.

The crusade against the position of SoIA is one that saddens me deeply. Ever since I first joined Atlasia and began to get involved in politics, I've wanted to be SoIA. If confirmed, I plan to make the position one of activity as well as one that encourages activity. I plan to make weekly updates regarding regional news, both legislative and non-legislative. I also plan to have occasional interviews with some political figures to keep The People up to date with whom exactly is representing them. I plan to post updates regarding elections, as well as who is running, to encourage knowledgeable and informed voters. I believe my activity and dedication to the position just might be what is needed to save it. I believe the position has so much potential for good, but has been so derailed by inactivity that it is now seen as useless and superfluous. Thank you.

A constituent of mine has expressed that he does not think you understand the statutory duties of the position.  Just so we're all clear, would you please explain what the primary duties are? Tongue

Not really a fan of the SoIA position, but, hell, it's worth letting you have a shot at it. Tongue
