2013 August At-Large Senate Debate

[Gass3268]

1. I think I've shown in the Senate my ability to stand on principle firmly but when need be accept a good compromise. Best example would be the Responsible Federal Contracting Bill.

2. I support proposed taxes specified in President Nix's budget. I would be willing to go along with the suggestions provided by Governor Maxwell and Tmth of adding more brackets as long as it stays progressive and we get back the same amount of revenue.


I apologize for the shortness of my answers, but school work is being a pain right now. See my campaign page if you want more details.

Polnut's education bill: I too like the bill, but I also have concerns with the AECR as I don't know if I could support a mechanism that would allow a student to leave school early. I like the other parts of the bill and I especially like the Comprehensive Sex Education Bill 2013. I would actually like to see this strengthened a bit and have it that schools could lose regular federal funding if they do not cover elements 2a-2c.

Regional issues: The regions in Atlasia need to be reduced. Personally I would like to see the regions be abolished and in its place have the creation of a House of Representatives that would be elected based on Proportional Representative. Yet seeing how that would be impossible, I think we need to shrink the number of regions to 3. The regions would be set by an independent/non-partisan/multi-partisan commission that would create 3 regions. Guidelines for the commission would place an emphasis on emphasis that new regions tie together states that are cultural, geographically and historically similar Also there should be an lesser emphasis on having the regions be close to equal in terms of population and partisanship.
