X Governor Leinad
That being said I agree with IceAgeComing's assessment that 1) we should just be able to ask the GM team (they're pretty good, I think they'd respond) and 2) that environmental concerns should be included in the study. But I don't really think this hurts us--considering point 1 we can simply ask the GM team to address point 2.
The most disturbing thing about this thread is that someone wrote a thoughtful letter with concerns that the bill is being "rushed along to a vote with very little thought" and then, without addressing said concerns whatsoever, the next post simply began the final vote. A vote that only had 2 members voting, which is just embarrassing.
And yes, I take partial responsibility for this. Ideally I would be engaged and active and that would carry over to the Chamber. But unfortunately I haven't been able to do that due to my own issues and my RL schedule getting busier. (That's why I'm not running, of course.)
I assume one could simply have a separate environmental study as well. I don't feel strongly either way on this issue - I am open to this bill being amended later.
