SENATE BILL: Cancer Research and Prevention Bill of 2011 (Failed)

[Oakvale]

Agreed with the previous concerns about the cost of the bill.

Nay

Read what oakvale, shua, Yankee, and Fuzzybigfoot said about this being a 50 billion dollar bill.

But... since when you are a Senator ?

Tmth's not taking his Senate seat due to the, uh, "Invaligate" thing, so A-Bob appointed him.

Uh...since getting an appointment from A-Bob?

Basically, as oakvale said, tmthforu isn't taking the seat he just got elected to, so I became a Senator instead.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Wish someone had voiced their concerns before the final vote. Admittedly, $50 billion may have been a bit extreme, but $50million would hardly do anything considering Texas alone allotted $3 billion to cancer research last year!

True that finding a cure for cancer is a project much larger than $50 million. Maybe we can consider a way to fund 5-10 Billion or so.

The (designated) SoIA is looking into the issue, and plans to have legislation to present to the Senate after the confirmation.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Counting the votes on this will certainly be challenging.


Aye (2): AHDuke99 and Antonio V
Nay (6): bgwah, Fuzzybigfoot, Napoleon, NC Yankee, Oakvale, and Officepark
Abstain (1): shua

Didn't Vote (1): Snowguy716


This has enough votes to fail, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Sorry TrueCon, for some reason I missed your appointment. Welcome aboard, so.

Oh, that's fine, and thank you.

That's fair enough.
