Northeast Assembly Thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

hey could one of you guys make an amendment that you must be polite in the assembly. And consequences if you aren't. It is just an idea.

We have the thing called "Joe Wilson Act". Rowan declared this unconstitutional.

Freedom of speech I guess.

why?

Freedom of speech and separation of powers.  The governor had a role in enforcing the Joe Wilson Act, which was one reason why it was struck down.

It's not clear that even Assembly standards on decorum would be constitutional.  CJO RowanBrandon's decision was fairly broad on the Freedom of Speech point.

[cinyc]

I request shortening the period of debate.

The Lt. Governor will have to rule on this and all motions unless he expressly declares his absence.  I put the bill up for debate out of convenience, but as long as Lt. Governor Libertas is present, the Lt. Governor has the chair and runs the Assembly.  Last session was a bit irregular.   Lt. Governor Smid allowed the Speaker to run the place because he was in a different time zone.  He was present only to break ties.

Intentionally I might add.

As the sponsor has requested it, the debate period will be shortened by 12 hours. After that, the Assembly can vote on the proposed amendments.

Thanking Resolution

[Purple State]

Sorry to interrupt. I'm not sure whose responsibility this is, but your legislative Wiki hasn't been updated since the gas leasing legislation. Makes it harder for me to figure things out.

So I'll just ask, was anything ever done about the region's obesity rate?

No.  Lt. Governor Smid voted against the Health Act, breaking a 4-4 tie.  Therefore, the bill failed under our rules.

It is the Lt. Governor's job to update the wiki.
