Order!

Do any of you understand that this is not a thread for personal debate?

Yes, can we please keep this to business for right now. I'd like to get a Speaker elected, so that we can call for a Holiday Recess for the region.

Well, we have 7 votes in - everyone but Fezzyfestoon's.  I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for Fezzy to vote, given his past voting history.  Even if he does and votes for Antonio V, I think I would win 4-3-1.

Mr. Lt. Governor - are you going to take your federal seat immediately?  If so, Gov. AndrewCT, can we wait until after the Holiday Recess to recommend a new Lt. Gov. - or should we do that before the recess?

I plan on resigning after the Speakership election. That should give the Governor ample time. Smiley

Just to keep you guys updated, SewerSocialist has moved to Minnesota, and thus has vacated his Assembly seat.

I'd just like to say what a magnificent job Speaker Cinyc is doing.  You guys really are lucky to have him. Smiley

I might support this. Can the sponsor offer reasons why his service was so much better than that of any other Governor?

For example I can point his involvment and work in creation of the body where Representative can have his seat.

Then why don't I get a resolution? Cry Just kidding! Smiley

I'm sorry for barging in, but is there anyone in the Northeast who is able to update the wiki for now, until Dave gives access to the Lt. Governor.

I also have wiki access if you guys want me. Smiley

I would gladly update the Wiki myself if Dave Leip would ever get back to me...

I requested for an account myself for like 4 occassions. Never get an answer.

I never asked Dave. I wonder if at some point I should do that. Is there anyone in the Northeast (other than Barnes) who has access to the wiki?

Well, Antonio has Wiki access, and he has a lot of work for the Regions Wiki, but you guys might have some reservations since he's in the Pacific now. Wink

This is the Attorney General keeping you guys updated. The Northeast Emergency Militia Act may be in conflict with Article I, Section 7, Clause 7 of the Constitution:

To the Lt. Governor and Speaker:


Hey Guys, Andrew sent me a Facebook message today saying that he is unable to log into the Forum and isn't missing votes intentionally. As you might be aware, other people (including me!) are having the same problem. Smiley

Update from the AG

I've been watching the recent situation in the Northeast very closely.  And because of the recent developments, there has been talk of a legal prosecution against the NE if they pass the Northeastern Emergency Militia Act. 

However, seeing as the region is in a bit of a crisis at the moment, both politically and financially Wink, I will not be bringing charges against the region at this time.

However, if the region continues the use of their "volunteer militia" after the crisis, and they have not received clear permission form the Senate, I will shoot to kill. Grin

Not to intervene, but you guys need to elect a Speaker before you do anything else.

Well the Lt. Governor is supposed to run the Assembly, with the Speaker becoming necessary when the Lt. Gov declares a leave of absence.

You have to elect one, though. I was there we they wrote the procedure. Wink

Just to help you guys out, this is in the Constitution:

Article V

I kind of remember debate about repealing this back when I was in the NE Govt. so you might want to see if it's still in force. Tongue

Yes, my amendment has failed. Ah well, perhaps the next assembly will be more favorable to it. Smiley

In the meantime, I'll look into have a citizens' intiviative amendment places in our constitution to allow citizens to directly propose legislation for a vote of the people - but not, I think, constitutional amendments. Grin

I wouldn't call it obstruction at all. You had serious concerns, and when it came time to vote, you spoke your opinion.

I lodge a formal protest over the final vote on my constitutional amendment. The version that was outed on was not the most current version, I had submitted an amendment to the bill before the final vote, but this was not concluded in the final legislation presented to the assembly to vote on.

Cincinnatus and I have worked in recent months to update the legislation pages. This sizable task remains incomplete, although merging the three pages is one goal that I have been working toward.

That would be a very good idea. Can you post the links to the other statute threads? I've only been able to find the one that starts with the provisional assembly.

It might be advantageous to pass legislation giving different members of the regional government specific parts of the wiki to keep updated. Let's look into it, anyway. Wink

Well, if the problem lies with giving the official responsibility to government offices, then why not create some form of voluntary wiki committee? I know the same thing has been tried before both regionally and nationally and been shown to work in many cases. Perhaps if it has strong influence and leadership from us office holders it would be successful?

I will not ask for a vote to override the Governor's veto of the Clean Jobs Act. Hopefully, a compromise bill following in its model will be introduced shortly.

I don't really have a problem with the changes Nix proposed. I'll reintroduce the bill shortly.

Per section 2(C) of the SOAP, I move that the "Continuing Budget Resolution" be brought to the top of the legislative introduction queue.
