Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[CultureKing]

Ok, so I am going to make a proposal for the education funding since everyone else seems hesitant to do so:

The Pacific Region has decided to allocate its funds from The Help Atlasia Study Act of 2009 in the following ways:
1) Towards decreasing tuition costs for public universities
2) Towards reducing the student vs teacher ratio in the classroom by hiring more teachers.

[CultureKing]

please vote on the above measure.

[MaxQue]

I'm not sure than we could use that money for anything else than grants and lowering fees.

That is correct.

[MaxQue]

So, nay.

I can't vote for an illegal project.

[Lunar]

Yay, I can.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Nay, dubious legality.

[CultureKing]

I'm not sure than we could use that money for anything else than grants and lowering fees.

That is correct.

Isn't that exactly what I am proposing? I don't see why you can't gear grants and the lowering of fees to certain areas...

Because Federal gives us money for GRANTS. It is illegal to use it to lower the fees.

Don't blame me. I have not voted this.

The Pacific bill clearly talks about using the money to hire more teachers, which would not be acceptable under the Help Atlasia Study Act.

Don't get me wrong....Hiring teachers is a good thing

[CultureKing]

...ok how about simplifying it a bit:

The Pacific Region has decided to allocate its funds from The Help Atlasia Study Act of 2009 in the following way:
1) Towards decreasing tuition costs students attending (specifically economically disadvantaged students) public universities

better?

That is interesting. Some propositions are bad, but others are good. I will write something more detailled tomorrow.

By the way, what are the rules of this Legislature?

When are we going to vote on the capital punishment abolishment amendment?

CultureKing hasn't logged on yet today. I suspect he will open the voting booth when he does.

[MaxQue]

I sign:

Renaming of San Luis Obispo County Bill
Government Furniture Bill
Salad Bar Bill

I encourage the Pacificans to sign them. If three persons or the governor sign them within a week, the Legislature will study them.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I sign in support of all of them, I think it's healthy for all bills to be heard.

[CultureKing]

ok, so do we just want to proceed to a vote on the proposals or have a period of discussion?

[MaxQue]

So, you agree to bringing them in the legislature?

[bgwah]

I sign all as well, for the record.

[Purple State]

Just a question, why doesn't the Pacific move their legislature thread to the Elections main board so that new members are more aware of its existence?

I would love to do that, and in fact, I'd love an entirely new legislature thread so it seems a bit less daunting.
