[ ] Write-in:______
[ ] NOTA

[The Age Wave]

Obviously oppose the amendments.

[The Age Wave]

1. Nay
2. Nay
3. Abstain

[The Age Wave]

Aye

[The Age Wave]

Toll roads are no fun. If we need the funds, a gasoline tax is far preferable to toll roads and we get the extra benefit of cutting carbon emmissions!

[The Age Wave]

Abstain

[The Age Wave]

Uhhh abstain. Sorry for the absence Midterms week.

[The Age Wave]

I want to change my vote to Aye after reading the GM report. The union is out of control.

[The Age Wave]

I don't consider myself anti-union. I don't want to vote in favor of this legislation. But if the unions think that now, in the midst of a budget crisis, is the right time to play petty political games with the government, at a time when everyone else is having to cut back and do more for less, at a time when we can't have things handed to us on a silver platter as they once were, that they can expect the same leniency they once had because our government entered an agreement without proper foresight of the critical times ahead, then they are wrong. I think what this threat is, is a demonstration that the unions are out of control, they are too powerful and they are unwilling to negotiate at the same table everyone else is sitting at. As for my table, there is less food on it. We all need to sacrifice at some point and grandstanding on an issue and causing further damage to the small improvements we've been able to make has made my decision for me. Sorry.

In these times of high unemployment people should be willing to do a job for any price they can get and unfortunately the money isn't there to go around like it once was. Those we appreciate their employment will not strike, those who are willing to give that up so easily deserve to be replaced.

My mother is a teacher-- I'm in a union household.

[The Age Wave]

Nayayayay

[The Age Wave]

Nay

[The Age Wave]

Haha what?

Motion to table and proceed to next legislation.

[The Age Wave]

Keep the gas tax.

[The Age Wave]

I'm motioning to consider both bills at once.

[The Age Wave]

Aye

[The Age Wave]

Amendment:

Freedom to Drive Act

1.  The Northeast Speed Limit Standardization Act is hereby repealed.

[The Age Wave]

And again, as I said, I will stand in opposition to any attempts to repeal the gas tax. I will not exist in this Assembly as a oil company tool.

[The Age Wave]

Aye on both

[The Age Wave]

I think we should table the measure. I would support an amendment that allowed for training new officers so we can just fire all these strikers.

VASTLY expensive proposition, and you can't "train" years or decades of experience on the streets into rookies.

And since when do people like you care about how expensive something is? Okay then.

No because the union has proved it is out of control and unwilling to compromise for the sake of the public. They need strangled.

[The Age Wave]

Nay

[The Age Wave]

I'm going to motion to debate the CJO amendment and Seats number amendment simultaneously.

[The Age Wave]

Aye on the motion

[The Age Wave]

I oppose the amendment.
