I'll be ignoring this. While distracted driving is an issue, I'm concerned about the enforcement of this law and feel as if the police should be focused on preventing hazards that they can actually enforce.

The Shocker Act to be repealed in its' entirety effective upon repeal

Vetoed.

I honestly don't see the problem with allowing intoxicated passengers, and reject the idea that an open container can tempt the driver to drink. To truly combat the problem of drunk driving, I am looking to plan my own individual-based initiative that we all can agree on.

I'll also be opting not to send the repeal of the Smoking Age Standardization Act to the people. As I said, I believe that the age of majority should stay sixteen, and as such the age of purchase for tobacco should stay around that age.

So, since Libertas got banned and Winfield got recalled, we need two Assembly members. Feel free to PM me your suggestions.

I will be appointing Adam Griffin to the Assembly. special election for both seats will take place on the 23rd.

We simply don't have enough demand in the Assembly to realistically have this provision.

We repealed and replaced this, and I believe this addresses all the concerns I have with it.

As I said, it's always been my policy that we should try to work towards making every bill count. When this bill was proposed, it was a fiscal disaster that even I would have vetoed had it passed. However, when its sponsor, Matt, advocated the true reason behind it, I worked to provide a fiscally responsible, healthier solution to tackle this problem. When I was in the fourth grade, my principal decided to cut my recess time to fifteen minutes, and I simply found that unreasonable even as a ten-year-old. Our youth simply cannot be expected to sit in class all day, and I truly believe this bill will help our children, from kindergarten to 12th grade, become smarter and more educated.

The wheel of progress always turns, even with the most unlikely allies pushing it along.

(EDIT - It's also come to my attention that some f**kboy's reporting my posts in an attempt to censor me. I've decided to handle a few PIs to investigate and hopefully we can go back to my office being a no flex zone)

Governor,

I'm wondering if you or another Northeasterner could answer a question for me: does your region have a High-Speed Rail line connecting Pittsburgh and Philadelphia?

I don't believe it does in the current universe. However, if there is enough demand (which I believe there is), I would be more than willing to build a HSR network across Pennsylvania.

As I said, this legislation, while long-delayed, and held up by SirNick, Deregistered Terrorist on the  Lam, is necessary to close important loopholes in the original. It's also worth noting that I'd like to create some sort of drug scheduling system in the future so we can classify which drugs are more "severe" or not and ease our regulations.

I drafted this as a compromise to deal with the problem of driving under the influence. I believe that if businesses and companies like these cooperate with people, we can finally end the scourge of drunk driving once and for all.

Beaver Stadium - State College, PA

First of all, I'd like to welcome Poirot to the race for governor and wish him luck.

Second of all, I'd like to address his points. Firstly, I'd like to address his point about harmonious relationships with the Assembly - which ties into his point about compromise. For a while, we've debated on whether "ayy lmao" is mocking and jeering or not, and those comments were made in jest, of course. I've made that clear to Winfield, and I'm confident that we do not have any ill will towards each other. SirNick, though, was obviously a different case - a case of personal attacks towards anyone who disagreed with him, blatant abuse of power, and shady actions towards those who stood against his rise. In contrast, I've given former opponents political positions in my term - my first lieutenant governor was my opponent in September, and my current lieutenant governor was Barnes' biggest supporter against me.

It's also worth noting that my opponent defended SirNick's actions last week. Behind these platitudes of friendship being magic is a man who essentially believes that attacking people is justified if people aren't taking a game seriously. I've passed legislation with certain members of the Assembly of the far-right variety. Specifically, NJ Christian was the deciding vote for establishing 30-minute recesses in our schools, and I would have signed Winfield's Childhood Protection Act into law had it passed the Assembly.

I have also stood up for our regional rights and defended our Northeastern culture of liberty against certain forces looking to dismantle it - all while moving this region forward. Poirot says he'll move this region forward, but believed that SirNick was in his rights to dedicate a quarter of his Assembly term entirely to repealing a year's worth of past bills, even when the SOAP gave him the power to debate two slots of whatever he wanted. When people decided to introduce bad bills, I've worked with them to squeeze something productive out of them instead of simply encouraging that they be tabled.

Also, Poirot pledges to support high-speed rail in his campaign. I applaud his support for rail from New York to Montreal, and I believe that it's very important. However, I'd like to directly adopt Assemblyman shua's idea of a high-speed rail line from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. Also, I'd like to float my own idea of a rail system - the Nittany Rail. This railroad would add the cities of Williamsport, Lewisburg, and you all in State College to the rail system of Pennsylvania and allow for easier access to each city from Altoona, Harrisburg, and Lewistown. Penn State football is the most popular team in the Northeast, and has a huge following in the Mid-Atlantic region. I believe that expanding our rail system to your city would be a cash cow for our region that would benefit central Pennsylvania greatly, and I'll make it a priority in this upcoming term if I'm elected.

Thank you all for listening, and good night.

I'm glad you are interested in my idea, and whether you or Poirot win, I would look forward to our regions working towards developing connections in transit. Another possibility to consider is making a less costly Pittsburgh to Baltimore line, as currently there is already a line connecting Baltimore and Philadelphia.

I'd certainly be willing to work with you and Governor TDAS to make that possible as well.

You shouldn't count out the South on a project like this, I'd love to discuss with both of you, as well as Governor Simfan, and whoever turns out to be the Governor in the Midwest election about this.

Naturally - I'd love for all of us to have a chat about the future of rail in our great nation.

I don't see the big stink about this.

You want me to rescind my endorsement don't you?

I honestly don't have any opinion on this bill. Contrary to popular belief, I just focus on laying out guidelines for policy, and don't actually use most of the power I have unless the circumstances call for it. If I don't have an opinion on a bill, whether I'm simply undecided or simply don't believe it's an important enough issue to debate, I simply defer to the will of the Assembly or the people - which is what I did with this bill.

If you have a problem with it, you're welcome to take a trip up to Montreal and visit Poirot, or run for Vice Chair in April.

Well, that was unnecessarily snippy.

Very well then. Take two: If you've got a problem with how I govern things, you're welcome to PM me or whoever is the sponsor of the bill, or even throw your two cents in in the debate thread. Despite the fact that I took your blunt comment as needlessly snippy, and some previous comments we've made to each other on other venues, I actually have respect for you (as I do with Simfan, who stopped by our debate threads to express his discontent at one point) and your opinions. I'm sure if you came to my office with these opinions instead of unnecessary threats, I'd take your disagreements in stride or even consider them.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

...well, this is embarrassing, to say the least. My sincerest apologies to all of you - especially my Senator.

In the great words of our Mideastern Senator, I'm basically a retard.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

You're acting like I don't go over the top with everything I do.

But in all seriousness, I should probably distance myself from this since I'm getting sucked in.

Statement Regarding SirNick's Capture

Today, we've made great strides against SirNick, Terrorist of the North. We will immediately request the extradition of SirNick to Riker's Island, where he will be subjected to hourly "behavioral classes" from my friends awaiting a trial. Also, we will be charging him with the following:

• One (1) count of terrorism
• Thirty-one (31) counts of arson
• Thirty-one (31) counts of vandalism
• Thirty (30) counts of reckless endangerment
• Fifty (50) counts of destruction of property damage

While it is impossible to charge him with another count of terrorism under the Anti-Terrorism Act, I believe that arson against the government, for malicious means, fits the classical definition of terrorism. I also strongly encourage Attorney General ZuWo, and Governor TDAS to prosecute SirNick for destroying all of his records in Nyman as Game Moderator, and to bring up similar charges there as well.

[Anti Democrat Democrat Club]

The Sawx administration offers his condolences to the family and friends of Aaron Green, who died protecting one of our most precious treasures of Atlasia. We must come together in these trying times to heal and protect our nation and its rights. To help thwart the terrorists, I urge you: this weekend, go get out and vote. No matter if you support me or Poirot, Matt or Talley or cinyc, your opinion counts. Let's defeat the terrorists together.

I'm still concerned that schools will decide to cut into actual lunch periods, and I'm still committed to my 30-minute minimum. I'd be very open to the funding provision in a separate bill, however.

While I do understand that there are constitutional concerns, my charges of terrorism are under the classical definition. SirNick maliciously committed arson against the government to protest the people's recall, and if he ever dares to step foot inside Atlasian territory again, he will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I'm signing this bill, of course, to make sure that this will never happen again under anyone's watch.
