I don't think we're currently giving money to private industry.

Stimulus bill money is managed by Regions. Therefore, we do.

The fact industry is in a bad situation is the reason why we're helping it. Since we're doing, they should use this money, among other things, to avoid firing their employees.

We have no law on our books distributing stimulus money to anyone.

Avoiding firing employees is totally different than baring a company from laying off workers in tough times.   Unfortunately, that needs to be done in tough economic times.  If there's no business, there's no business.

Northeast Relief and Recovery Act

Section 1: Acceptance of Funds

1. The Northeast hereby accepts the funds given by the Federal Government as per F.L. 32-13: 2009 Atlasian Relief and Recovery Act.

What will we do with this money ?

We haven't decided.  Some will go to pay for the tax credits (and we've already spent more than the paltry sum we're receiving on that) - if we're allowed to.  Some will go to things mandated by the bill (like road repaving).   ALL of the money comes with strings or restrictions on what we can do with it, in some form.

We will certainly help some businesses with this money, partly. If we don't, we have no possibility to restore the economy.

The Nor'east is in a deep struggle right now and the Atlasian dollar is worth just under 90 cents.

Rep. Cinyc, something has to be done. We need protection for the working man and woman, and we need to ensure that grafting is eliminated.

We've already provided tax relief for Northeast residents.  We have NOT yet made any Northeast stimulus funds available to Northeast businesses.  Those are the facts.  This bill is premature - and wrong-headed.

Once again, your bill DOESN'T distribute any stimulus funds - and the Northeast has no law distributing stimulus funds.  You're putting conditions on something that doesn't exist.  Wouldn't it make more sense to make something exist before putting conditions on it?

Not necessarily. We WILL give funds to enterprises and it's the only thing that counts.

Since when is a little check any real help. I'm talking about employment protection. Without a job, that little tax credit is useless.

Also, in regard to the stimulus, there is definately an assurance that some funds will go toward business relief. It is in that regard that I'd like to call the question as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that.

Shouldn't we be putting the bill on the floor to a vote?  It's been 48 hours and there are no proposed unfriendly amendments.

Theorically, we should. However, I'd present to fellow representatives a special motion to suspend the vote until things will get back normal in the Assembly.

I'd like, for the end, to make a final explanation.

Time spend there, especially in the first Assembly, was one of the greatest things in my forum live, perhaps even greatest.

It's not that I'm mad or something on anyone. But my RL schedulde is busy and, at least for few next months, it would be really difficult to me to carry out normal work as a Representative. As of other reasons mentioned, I was bitter for a while and added them to the list. Yet, RL was the deciding factor. Sorry guys, but my studies have to come first now.

I'm sorry for suddenly of this decision. In fact, I've been thinking on that for few last days.

Because I'm rather unorganized man, esspecially when it comes to my plans, I moved to Alaska not because I'm dissapointed with Northeast (hell no!), but, due to recent registration restrictions, to not have a point of return for few months.

Keep your excellent work!
