The Office of Governor LumineVonReuental (Closed)

[Maxwell]

I think you would be great at the job, from one Midwesterner to another you certainly have my endorsement.

My question is would you be doing, as Speakers in other regions do, posting new threads for legislation? I think that is probably something the Midwest needs to move to, instead of using the Althing for everything.

[Maxwell]

You have my full, enthusiastic endorsement.  You have changed the way that Midwest law goes through, and have created a great process that your successors will follow to a T. With that kind of innovation, you will be a great governor.

*special election is in September (corresponding with the Archduke and Althing elections), official Gubernatorial election is in October*

I do have a question or two though: What would you do, as Governor, to help increase competitiveness in Midwest elections? You have mentioned this as a problem, and I agree, but it's had to get people into a region with less people. Generally people like to move to the Mideast or IDS if they want to join the game.

And, do you have any proposals or ideas, besides the ones already proposed in the Althing, to combat the issue of Midwest unemployment. Particularly, any cost effective ways so that we don't run a burgeoning deficit which, hehe, may be on the horizon?

A+

Rooney can not, however, Cris is still mulling it over. Hell, I might go for it if it weren't for the shackles of the Senate/life

On the Althing Election:

My fellow citizens, the next Althing Election is approaching, and I'm somewhat concerned. Thomas D is running for reelection, and I hope ilikeverin and GAworth do the same, but I think this region needs truly competitive elections. I reached out to several citizens who would be interesting candidate, but with the exception of former Senate candidate Rooney I haven't received any answers.

I can't force people to run for office, but I would like to see new people (and old people as well) running for office so our region can retain it's democratic spirit. We have made a lot of progress, but I still feel it's not enough. We have to prove to the rest of the country that this region is a model, an example, and the only way to do so is to participate. I'm not asking for a ten people field like in the Mideast, but having a competitive election like the TNF/Rooney Senate race would be extremely welcome.

I want to ask our citizens to take a minute and think about it. This game is not only about voting, it's about participation, and this is a good time to participate. This region might be gone soon, and if we are to leave the stage, I want to have one hell of a last act!

Please let me know if any of you have any questions or doubts, I'll be more than happy to answer.

Lumine.

I would prefer some new blood enter the Alþing rather than being re-elected.

A newbie is announcing tomorrow verin!

[Maxwell]

Why is this titled an Act then?

[Maxwell]

Just reminding you five days is up on the voting booth.

[Maxwell]

Thank you for your service to the Midwest. I hope you consider a run for the Senate or something else equally as good.
