July 2005 Budget Voting Thread

[Sam Spade]

Are we supposed to vote?

If we are, I'm voting Aye.

[Sam Spade]

Fine, then.  I'll bring them up to be placed back on the budget.

[Sam Spade]

Aye to all.

[Sam Spade]

If so, shouldn't the Senate move on to other matters?

DanielX has made some proposals in the main Budget thread. I would bring them to a vote, but there seem to be a few issues (the proposals do not specify which programs are going to be cut). Once that is resolved, I would bring the Budget to a final vote.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

[Sam Spade]

A question, Emsworth.  Are all of these cuts across-the-board?

[Sam Spade]

Aye to 2, 4 (mainly because there is more we can cut from the legislative branch), 5 and 7

Nay to 1, 3 and 6

[Sam Spade]

Taking over the PPT job for a while. 

Totals are:

#1: Aye 1, Nay 6, Abstain 1 (will fail)
#2: Aye 7, Nay 0, Abstain 1 (will pass)
#3: Aye 3, Nay 4, Abstain 1 (future uncertain)
#4: Aye 7, Nay 0, Abstain 1 (will pass)
#5: Aye 7, Nay 0, Abstain 1 (will pass)
#6: Aye 2, Nay 5, Abstain 1 (will fail)
#7: Aye 4, Nay 3, Abstain 1 (future uncertain)

Senators yet to vote: FuturePrez, PBrunsel

corrected

[Sam Spade]

Aye, it's at least a good start. 

Hopefully, the economy will improve enough in the next four months where less cuts will be necessary.
