Northeast Assembly Thread

[Dr. Cynic]

I would like to ask about the surplus. Are there any programs with which they could be added to?

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

I would certainly suggest stashing away a portion of that surplus in a "rainy day" fund.

I agree. Better safe than sorry. You never know what will happen.

[The Age Wave]

If I'm elected, I plan to store half the surplus in a "rainy-day fund" and give the rest back to the people where it belongs.

but shouldn't you wait to see what you need? And you can give them the money after the year is over. Because if you do it before then you might have needed the money that you gave away, no?

Lt. Governor don't have such power, dude

Assembly does.

I missed you're running for Assembly too. Sorry.

Is this budget realistic?  We had a little bit of a deficit last quarter and I see nothing for debt service or paying off that debt.

Well, I guess that's where we'll put this year's surplus.

[AndrewTX]

First, I would like to say that yes, the "Rainy Day Fund" monies can be placed into other programs if it was wanted. That is one of the reasons that I made sure that the money was there, that way if it was needed somewhere else, I didnt have to take money from something else for it.

Also, this is a realistic budget. The problem is that the last budget created and presented was over two years ago in January or February of 2007. It was difficult to try and create this knowing that the GM reported we had a deficit, but not seeing it reflected on our prior budget.

[cinyc]

Seeing no proposed amendments, we shall now proceed to vote on the budget resolution:

By a vote of 6-1 with 1 absence, the Northeast Budget passes.

Next bill:

Deletion Comendation Resolution

The Northeast Assembly is strongly condemding recent acts committed by Atlasia Moderators: deleting a votes and statement mades by Representatives on the Assembly floor, relating to actual business.

We demand that a Troll List enforcement will never again affect or obstruct strickly legislative affairs.

Sponsor: Rep. Kalwejt

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill will continue until at least 11:10PM Eastern on Friday, February 5, 2010, unless the debate period is extended or shortened in accordance with the SOAP.

The Sponsor, Representative Kalwejt, has the floor.

[cinyc]

I propose a few changes to fix a few typos, which I hope will be friendly:

It's in the debate stage, not the voting stage at the moment.

Just a quick thought: The current rules for this body make it difficult for emergency matters to be addressed. It does provide a certain amount of equity, in that everything gets its proper turn, but it also makes it difficult for you to respond to short-term events (as exemplified by taking up the current resolution long after the matter has ended).

Perhaps this is something to look into.

I think that the mover, Rep Kalwejt, could withdraw the motion if he so desired.

Even if he did, it would take quite a while to get to legislation dealing with current issues. Just makes my job hard when you can't react to my reports in a timely fashion (not that most people react at all ).
