Northeast Assembly Thread

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Aye.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

With two votes in favor, one unexcused absence and one vote against, the Sensible Budget Amendment passes and will be on the ballot in May.

There is no legislation in the queue at the moment, though there will be shortly, so I ask my fellow assemblymen to stay vigilant.

EDIT: A major oversight on my part. Since Representative redcommander did not vote, the bill fails.

*Applause from the Western Hemisphere of the PM chart.*

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Did we ever get a ruling regarding whether the 3 people who wrote themselves in should have been deemed elected?   Given the Northeast's recent past electoral history, they should have.

Rowan only certified Han, Giovanni, redcommander, Segway (whom was subsequently banned) and myself.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

How many seats are being filled in Friday's election?

Too many.

Five.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

The Assembly will now hold a vote on the Practical Labor Policy Redux.

Representatives have 24 hours to vote.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Aye.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

With four ayes and five vacancies, the Practical Labor Policy Redux passes and is presented to the Governor's desk for his signature or veto.

There is no legislation at the moment, though I urge all of our Representatives to get something through the pipe. I expect that we may have to pass Regional versions of the Animal Protection Act in the coming days.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

We will now bring the next piece of legislation to the floor.

Debate on this bill will continue until atleast Friday, May 7th, 12:35 PM unless debate is extended or shortened in accordance with the SOAP.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

While I'm very supportive of part of the bill, and not as supportive of other parts, we will lose funding if we do not pass this it's entirety, unless I'm mistaken.

Thus, I urge my fellow Representatives to pass this bill.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

are we planning on getting anything done? can we put this to a vote if no one wants to change anything already?

The vote is scheduled for 12:35.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

The Assembly will now hold a vote on The Animal Protection Act. Representatives have 24 hours to vote.

I'd ask that we simultaneously consider nominations for the Lt. Governorship.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Aye.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

With eight ayes the bill passes and is presented to the Governor's desk for his signature.

We will now hold nominations for the Lieutenant Governorship, since there is a vacancy.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I nominate Fezzyfestoon for the recommendation for Lieutenant Governor.

Does anyone else have any recommendations?

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

Any more nominations, or can I bring our recommendation to a vote?

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

I hearby sign the bill, since it wasn't posted in my office thread.

Please post these things in your office thread, preferably using the Northeast seal when you sign it.  Otherwise, it becomes impossible for someone to track down should the Wiki get out of date again.

Nevertheless, I think it was passed with a veto-proof majority, so it doesn't need the Governor's signature.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

We will now hold a vote on our recommendation for Lt. Governor:

[ ] Fezzyfestoon
[ ] Write-in

Representatives have 24 hours to vote.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

[1] Fezzyfestoon

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

With five votes and four absences, Fezzyfestoon is recommended by the Assembly for Lieutenant Governor.

Where is the money coming from? Can we afford this?

Well, under these estimations, it would reduce the amount of money we spend. (Treating less people for diseases from needles)

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

We will now hold a vote on the Combat HIV/AIDS Act of 2010. Representatives have 24 hours to vote.
