The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Associate Justice PiT]

Option 1 sounds good.  I'll edit this with a proposal in a sec.

     Well, my idea was to allow them both as parallel options.

I'm sure this could use some editing but I got to go.

     It might be wiser to just set new tax rates, since just saying that the ULCI does not apply to budgetary concerns still leaves open the question of what exactly our tax rates are. Of course, we should wait to do that until we have computed the real life regional taxation, so we can optimize our rates to balance the budget.

Well, yes.  I was thinking that said initiative might legally prevent us from setting new tax rates, which is what this law is for.  Once we have everything worked out, than new the new tax rates would fill the void.

     In that case, we should probably just amend the ULCI to make clear that any laws passed by the Legislature will supersede sections of code in force because of it.

Sounds like a plan.

Eh?

     Good, though I suggest:

     When you update the Wiki as much as I do, you learn the value of writing amendments in ways that change the original text in a clear & easy-to-follow manner.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Vote time?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I think we should hear from some of the other Legislators first, particularly in regards to my proposed amendment. While there probably is a case to be made that I could do so, I don't want to propose amendments to bills without the assent of at least one of the Legislators.

[Dancing with Myself]

Sounds good to me

[Yelnoc]

Sounds good to me

This.  Yes Taft, it's vote time.

[Associate Justice PiT]

      So am I correct to assume that you are rejecting my suggested amendment to the bill?

[Yelnoc]

      So am I correct to assume that you are rejecting my suggested amendment to the bill?

No, no I very much accept it.  Sorry for being obscure.  I quoted "it sounds good to me" referring to your amendment.

     Okay, thanks. Sorry if I seemed cross. Few things get under my skin more than being ignored when I make comments on a bill.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

The bill is now up for a vote!

Aye

[Yelnoc]

Aye.

[Dancing with Myself]

Nay

Why did you vote no?

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Bill Passes, 2-1. Awaiting Emperor's signature.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     On the Unified Law Code Initiative Amendment: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.

     Be it resolved, X Emperor PiT

Appears that there won't be too much debate on this. Up to a vote?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'd wait a little longer. It's not always easy to get on the forum & check the Legislature.

[Dancing with Myself]

It looks good

[Yelnoc]

And we are ready to vote.
