Where is the money coming from? Can we afford this?

[Countess Anya of the North Parish]

Aye

Vote hasn't started yet.

I was responding to weather it should be considered.

Where is the money coming from? Can we afford this?

Well, under these estimations, it would reduce the amount of money we spend. (Treating less people for diseases from needles)

[Free Palestine]

I approve of this legislation.  Some may find it morally abhorrent to provide needles to drug abusers, but government should not infringe on personal liberty to force morality, and instead should simply deal with the facts of life in the Northeast.  People are always going to be injecting sh-t into their veins, and there is nothing we can do about it.  We can at least make sure that they do not catch diseases, which would take a burden off of our health care system.

Though I must ask, are drug abusers really going to take the needles?  I think there should be some sort of provision in place, providing that these needles be freely available at hospitals and the like.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

I suppose I endorse this bill then.

[justW353]

I assume the needles would be available at health clinics and hospitals, correct?

I support this legislation.

Hey all, just wanted to give you a heads up that I'm havin laptop problems here. It isn't charging, and since I have a new job can't quite sneak on at work yet, so I can only use my phone. If someone would be kind and send me a pm when we have a vote it would be greatly appreciated until I get this fixed. Thanks!

The question is whether the bill should be considered?

The ayes have it.

Debate on this bill shall extend until atleast Sunday, June 13th, 10:30 PM unless the debate period is shortened or extended in accordance with the SOAP.

The Sponsor, Rep. Hantheguitarman, has the floor.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Basically, meat is an expensive luxury. It'll be much better for the environment to feed prisoners a vegetarian diet. Additionally, it'll be cheaper for the Northeast Government to feed the prisoners a vegetarian diet, since that we don't have to buy the meat to feed the prisoners. Why should we be giving prisoners this luxury that they clearly don't need to be healthy anyway? If I may add, this bill was inspired by legislation in the Pacific.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

We will now hold a vote on the Prisoner Diet Reform Act. Representatives have 24 hours to vote.

The only other way they will get protien is by getting some protien shakes in the shower.
