Aye, I guess.

Aye.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Aye!

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

The USSEA has passed 3-0-1.

Debate is now open for the Sylvester-Tom Bill.  (Well it's still open)

Making people figure out the taxes in their head reinforces math skills, though.

Most people don't carry sheets of paper or calculators to use the Percent Composition Formula to figure out the tax for the larger sales

I know I'm probably breaching protocol by posting in here, but I had no idea that places in Americ Atlasia display prices without tax included. Do people have to mentally work out the full price before paying?

One of the nation's weirder quirks, if so, and this bill has the Governor's full support.

Yeah, all prices are pre-tax.

Yeah, all prices are pre-tax.

But... why?

I'm not really sure, but I think it has to do with the non-uniformity of sales tax rates from city-to-city and county-to-county.

That's actually very interesting, thanks for the information.

The more you know...

The Senate already passed something like this.

(To be fair, I guess it didn't specify if this applied to regions or just federal territories.)

[RI]

Are we going to act on the declawing bill? I'm not entirely certain how I feel about it to be honest. I've been watching the Senate debate a similar bill, and I feel like both sides made good points.

[CatoMinor]

I think its time for a vote.

[Oakvale]

FYI, I'm planning on introducing a (relatively) minor government re-tweaking bill soon, which would create fixed terms for the Justice gig and, more relevantly, reduce the size of the Council by a seat.

What say you?

[CatoMinor]

I think the Justice should be elected, have a life term, but can be recalled by a majority of of the citizens. but thats just me.

That's fine by me. The mechanism for selecting the Justice could go either way in my opinion.

My reasoning is that this is a game, and the time scale is obviously pretty compact, so life terms aren't exactly plausible. This also gives future Governors a chance to shake things up a bit (or retain the Justice if they're doing a good job as I have a hunch my presumptive appointee will ). I'm hoping to introduce the same thing for the national Supreme Court if I get into the Senate, incidentally.

I should have the bill ready in a couple of days. All fairly minor stuff.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Should we push the Sylvester-Tom Act to a vote while we're waiting for our dictatorour Governor to get the bill ready?

[CatoMinor]

yes


Even though none of my fellow councilors have chimed in about it at all

[RI]

yes

Lies!

I'll probably vote for it, but I have fixed feelings. As pointed out in the other thread, I fear this could lead to more cats being put down because fewer people want to adopt clawed cats. :/

[RI]

So now that Jbrase is SoIA, I presume that means he's no longer a Councilor?
