While I didn't vote him, Andrew was Governor for almost a year.

I fully support this measure.

I'd like the legislation withdrawn in light of current events, as it's pointless now.

It was pointless since very begining.
Well, in retrospect I will admit it was a mistake.

As I oppose toll roads and gasoline taxes, I will offer an amendment.

1.  The Free Highway Access Act of 2009 is repealed.   

2.  The Northeast Region shall eliminate all tolls from public roads by 31 August 2010.

3.  The Northeast Region shall tax all used vehicle sales at 3% to cover road maintenance costs.

I'll deem that unfriendly and put that to a vote, too.  I have no idea whether that tax will bring enough revenue to offset the elimination of tolls.

Will we be voting on both Gramps' and Segway's amendments at once?

Yes.  I guess if both pass, we'd need a runoff or something (though the SOAP doesn't provide for one).  We can't pass both in one bill.
Agreed, unless Segway and Gramps could negotiate something together and offer a single set of amendments.

A gas tax would cripple transportation and commerce.

I'm in favor of either Segway OR Gramps' amendments.

Back to debate on the bill....honestly, I'm speechless.  I'm not a union fan but this is over the top.

Not requiring members to belong to a union is one thing.......not allowing unions at all is quite another.

Even right to work states don't outlaw unions....

I'll be voting, Nay.
Why not offer an amendment to the bill to make it less extreme?

Bear in mind that Segway's bill is now with my amendments (they were deemed friendly), so that should be taken into consideration.

If that is the case then I don't want to make us have to wait a whole month.

Yeah, I hadn't realized that. I figured it was just unlawful to do so. You may strike the latter provision and I'll still support it.

If that is the case then I don't want to make us have to wait a whole month.

I mean, it also matters whether it is a ULP (unfair labor practice) strike or an economic (hours, wages and other terms/conditions of employment) strike. These sorts of nuances really need a full-blown labor policy.

This Assembly has written some pretty hefty pieces of legislation on random things. This sort of thing seems one of those things that especially deserves an intricate and lengthy law.

Is there any data or suggestions you have for us regarding this? I mean, we might as well use this opportunity to get things done right the first time.

We should first vote on this bill, and then work to craft such legislation in private, as to not bog down the work of the Assembly. I'm in agreement, though, and would like to contribute if possible.

Nay - at the time I drafted it, I didn't realize that our government had as much leeway as it did.
