Based on the advice of the Attorney General and the thoughts of the former Governor have provided. I don't think I can vote in favour of this. I would like to hear the thoughts of the other delegate who are still to weigh in on this topic.

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

As there have been no further comments. I motion to table. 24 hours to object.


*edit* my typos bugged me too much

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

I object.

As there has been an objection debate will continue.

Would you like to contribute to the debate at this time, Delegate PragmaticPopulist?
