Northern Regional Committee

I strongly recommend a more centralized location for the regional capital than Boston or New York. Detroit would be an excellent choice because of its location and having the regional capital would do wonders for the city's struggling economy.

I respectfully introduce the following amendment to the Declaration of Rights. I hope that this illustrious committee at least takes up a debate on this amendment. I am willing to discuss this issue through PM if it means we can come up with a compromise.

I object to Gass's amendment and call it out in the most extreme way possible for its vagueness and lack of specifics.

Help me figure out a way to make it better. What specifics would you like to see added?

Define a law biased towards a certain region. Otherwise, "no! we can't have legal coastal ports! That's bias towards the coast!" could be an argument.

Well in that situation the argument would be that there should also be legal ports on the Great Lakes. I do think there is a compromise somewhere to be found on this issue.

Not to be rude, but if we're adding something to the preamble, I would prefer the phrasing to be more elegant. This reads like nails on a chalkboard.

In regards to your original amendment, would something like this:

be an acceptable compromise?

Is there a way we can make it more general rather than explicitly on ports?

[Gass3268]

I will withdraw my concern, if we can get a bill passed early in the first session that more explicitly deals with this issue. Would that be possible?
