The Imperial Dominion of the South's Legislature

[Dancing with Myself]

Who cares Rape is Rape no matter even if it is a misdemeanor

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Are we ready for a vote or do you need to make amendments and such?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     But rape & statutory rape are quite different. Rape means that the victim was coerced into having sex through some form, whereas statutory rape means that the victim is considered legally incompetent to give consent due to being too young. I daresay that many "victims" of statutory rape are in fact perfectly willing participants.

[CatoMinor]

The only similarity is that for some odd reason both have the word rape, though clearly one is not rape.

[Dancing with Myself]

Let's vote on the bill please.

[CatoMinor]

The bill with the amendment has my support

[CatoMinor]

Well if its agreed upon I suggest we blaze through this vote and get to tornado business.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Aye.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'll ask Taft to open the vote. While we need to move on to tornado legislation, let's hold our horses & do it by the book.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

My b, crises of lethargy struck suddenly. You can call the guard in for that later, for now a vote on the following bill!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     So...where's the tornado legislation?

[Dancing with Myself]

     So...where's the tornado legislation?

I told Sanchez to write it because I have no idea what to do. He has not done it yet

     I don't think anybody knows what to do. Well, could you at least introduce a placeholder bill, so we can talk about things to include in such a bill?

[Dancing with Myself]

I would like to introduce this bill:

Tornado Recovery Bill

1. This bill will be debated and amended in the Legislature

What do you guys want to do?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I've been trying to think of things to include. How about a fund to reimburse people for demonstrable property damage they've suffered, up to some limit?

That could work, with Insurance doing the rest. Or we can raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for all of it

     The region's sitting on a big surplus now, so that's not an issue. At any rate, I am loathe to be raising taxes on the wealthy when they already have a 60% marginal rate for federal taxes as well as a 6% marginal rate for regional taxes.

No. No, No, No, No.  Look at my regional office thread

Well, I want to keep the surplus somewhat. We need to find a way to not waste it all
