Office of Northeast Governor Winfield

[Lincoln Republican]

Welcome to the office of Northeast Governor Winfield.

This office comes as much of a surprise to me as to anyone else.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions, comments, discussion, etc.

Thank you.

Question: Will you be serving a full term?

Given the events in the Northeast over the last few days, that is a very good question. 

But the answer to your question is yes, I will most definitely be serving a full term as Northeast Governor.

A signing ceremony takes place in the Governor's office, given the fact this is the first piece of legislation passed by the current Northeast Assembly.

Governor Winfield, surrounded by the members of the Northeast Assembly, formally signs The Crime Is What Actually Matters Act into law.

A special announcement from the office of Northeast Governor Winfield.

Governor Winfield is seated in the conference area of the office with Dallasfan seated to his right.

I would like to thank the Northeast Assembly for forwarding for my consideration two excellent nominees for the office of Lieutenant Governor of the Northeast, Senator Napoleon and former Vice President Dallasfan.

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Dallasfan65 as the new Lieutenant Governor of the Northeast.  Senator Napoleon will be continuing his excellent work representing the Northeast Region in the Atlasian Senate.

Dallasfan brings with him into the office of Lieutenant Governor a record of experience and service.  I look forward to working with Dallasfan in moving forth the best interests of the Northeast Region.

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Simfan34 as the new Lieutenant Governor of the Northeast Region.

Simfan34 is capable and knowledgeable and I look forward to working with him in advancing the interests of the Northeast Region.

Governor, it has been over one month since CJO Cinyc has posted on the forum. Do we need to declare that office vacant and look for a replacement?

According to the constitution when the office of CJO becomes vacant the Governor is to appoint another CJO within one month.  So by extension, if the CJO has not been active in more than a month, this can be interpreted, in my view, that the office is therefore vacant, and must be replaced.

If anyone disagrees with this interpretation, please let us know in this thread, so we can resolve it.

But I shall try to contact CJO Cynic by PM before I declare the office vacant and look for a replacement.

By the way, I would like to present to the Assembly the following for revision from the constitution.

Where it states charged to hold trials for the convicted, should state for the accused, as one should not be convicted until found guilty.     

iii) The Chief Judicial Officer is to be charged with the duties of interpreting the laws of the Northeast Region and is charged to hold trials for the convicted. If someone submits a case to him or her, then the Chief Judicial Officer must make a ruling on it, giving ample time to hear arguments from any side of the issue. The Chief Judicial Officer’s rulings are to be considered precedent for all future cases.

[Lincoln Republican]

CJO Cinyc has advised me that he will resolve any current issues under his jurisdiction, and then he will be resigning as CJO.

I have expressed that I am sorry to see him leave and have thanked him for all his work.

Therefore, we will need to find a new CJO for the Northeast.

To my fellow citizens of the Northeast.

After much soul searching and contemplation, I have come to the difficult decision that I will not be a candidate for Governor of the Northeast in the coming election, to be held August 19-21, 2011.   

It has been my honor and privilege to serve the Northeast as Lieutenant Governor and then as Governor over the past term, and as well it has been my honor and privilege to work with such a fine group of individuals as yourselves, the Lieutenant Governor, all the members of the Northeast Assembly, the Chief Judicial Officer, and our regional Senator.

During this session of the Assembly, still ongoing of course, I believe we have been successful as the Northeast government in enacting  worhtwhile and meaningful legislation in moving the Northeast forward.  Of course, we have had our share of controversy, but that is to be expected amongst individuals with varying viewpoints on a variety of issues.  We have had spirited debate in the Assembly, which shows that the members of the Northeast Assembly are passionate about the issues brought forward.  After all, debate is the essence of democracy.                 

I am confident as well that during the remainder of this term, we will continue to work for the betterment of the region.

I would like to thank all of you for your invaluable contributions during this term, and extend to each of you my best wishes for whatever paths you choose to pursue in the future.

End To Alcohol Control Act

As amended hereby signed into law

Governor Winfield

I am pleased to see the Assembly set the minimum age for the purchase and sale of alcohol at 18, otherwise this bill would have been vetoed.

[Lincoln Republican]

Thank you for your service, Winfield. You have been a fine governor so far and it will be disappointing to not have you on the ballot in the upcoming election.

Thankyou homely.  Much appreciated.

[Lincoln Republican]

It has been an honor to serve as your Lieutenant, Governor, and I will be saddened to not see you run for re-election.

Thank you for your kind remarks.  They are most appreciated.

And might I add, it has been an honor for me as well to have you as Lieutenant Governor, and for being willing to step into that position.

[Lincoln Republican]

I am new to the regional government, Governor, but I would just like to thank you for your service to the region anyway. It is obvious even after only a short time how diligently you care for the Northeast.

Thank you Nathan.  This is very much appreciated.

[Lincoln Republican]

After much soul searching and contemplation, I have come to the difficult decision that I will not be a candidate for Governor of the Northeast in the coming election, to be held August 19-21, 2011.       

The next election for Governor will be held in October. I apologize for failing to notice an error in my Vital Civic Information Thread that led you to believe otherwise. It's relieving that you will be staying on, I presume, as Governor until then.

The information in the Vital Civic Information Thread stated the Governorship was up for election August 19-21.  As it turns out, however, this is in error, as stated by homelycooking above, and the next election for Governor will be in October.

So it looks like the Northeast will have to put up with me as Governor until at least October. 

[Lincoln Republican]

Just to clarify the timing of my decision not to seek election as Governor at the next election, I had come to this conclusion by the latter part of July, 2011.

On July 31, 2011, Senator Napoleon and I were discussing some matters via PM, at which time I informed Napoleon that I would not be running for Governor in the next election.

I had asked Napoleon not to mention this to anyone, and that I would be making an announcement shortly.

Being an individual of great integrity, Napoleon was true to his word in keeping this matter to himself.

Announcement from the office of Northeast Governor Winfield.

Governor Winfield has undertaken an extensive tour of hurricane and flood ravaged areas of the Northeast.  He is seeing firsthand the extent of the damage.  He is speaking one on one with victims of this disaster and has signed an executive order pledging whatever assistance necessary from the Northeast government  in order to rebuild homes, infrastructure, and most of all, to rebuild the lives of victims after this disaster.

Governor Winfield calls upon President Polnut, his administration, and the federal government to release all necessary resources at their disposal to do the same.
