Bump.

Could Mr Senator-to-be not forget he's also Northeast Lt Gov. and open a final vote on this bill ? Smiley

The SOAP expressly states that the debate lasts for 48 hours... And this bill has been introduced 108 hours ago.

Well, I extended the period, because there wasn't a full Bill even written up.

Because of all the Debate on this Bill, I'm extending the Debating Period.

But, today is the last day.

Well, you hadn't the authority to do, but anyways it doesn't matter... Just don't do again, please.

My purpose is not to bother anyone, but just to prevent the Assembly from getting inactive.

Bump.

If we don't go through Hamilton's blatant will to filibuster the Assembly, I'm going to sue someone or something.

I don't think it's a blatant filibuster.  I think Hamilton may have been placed on mod review again.

Why ? Huh

I strongly support this initiative to raise the minimum wage on a reasonable level.

Is the Lt Governorship currently vacant ?
It'd be nice to have a final vote of this bill before the beginning of the new session.

Is it possible to have a special motion to shorten the debate time ?

I think it would be hard for most of us to follow 2 bills simultaneously.

It's hard for "most of us" to follow one bill, yet they keep getting voted in and active people left off of ballots. So let's not go down that route.

Precisely. Do you think it would be easier for them to follow twice at the same time ?
As for me, I'd personally have no problem with this, but people like Fezzy, Mr Moderate, Dr Cynic or Smid would have difficulties to take part in debates in those conditions. Obviously, people, tell me if I'm wrong. Wink

And so because of their inactivity, the Assembly's work should suffer? I should hope not. Imagine if the US Senate worked revolved around Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd's ability to participate. Um... Yeah.

Only because they're not as involved as us, it doesn't mean they are inactive. And I'd like that they remain able to take part into debates, as they currently do.

Yes, but it is my opinion that we can get ore work done if we have two bills on the floor at once. Some bills take longer to debate, aand some need very little. I think it would be rude of me, or anyone else, to flood the queue.

Well, I'm still undecided on this. I guess I will wait t hear the others' opinion.

It's a bad idea.  It's impossible to follow any discussion of two bills simultaneously when we only have one thread for all legislative business.  Things get muddled.  Votes get lost.

I'm reassured that someone agress with me. Tongue

I agree with Mr. Moderate, we can debate two bills at once and extend debate from 48 to 72 hours, we can get more participation and more legislation.

No way, it's totally counterproductive.

Um, no, it will result in better legislation and more legislation.

It will result in more confusion and longer debates.

You'd have to be illiterate to get confused.

Please listen to what said Mr Moderate and Dr Cynic. They explained it better than me.
