Northeast Assembly Thread

I support The Northeastern Green Jobs Act

I support The Northeastern Green Jobs Act

That's wonderful, but it's no longer a part of this legislation.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Why was The Prisoner Diet Reform Act passed, anyway?  Was it to save money, somehow?

I haven't read the debate about it, only the text.  Either way I don't care for the bill, and I hope we all vote to repeal it.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I might vote for the repeal or abstain, unless someone can convince me why we need it.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I would support repeal.

[Cincinnatus]

Debate has ended.  We will now vote on the final bill.  Voting will last 24 hours.

Repeal of The Prisoner Diet Reform Act

A BILL to repeal an act, that does not befit the great Northeast Region.

1.  The Prisoner Diet Reform Act is hereby repealed.

[Cincinnatus]

Aye

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Abstain.

[tpfkaw]

Aye

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Aye

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Abstain

[Cincinnatus]

Voting has ended.  The Ayes are 3, Abstains 2, and Nays 0.  The bill passes. 

Debate will now begin on the bill introduced by the Representative from MA.  Debate will last 48 hours.

Undoing Unconstitutional, Undemocratic, and Evil "Review" (Binding Resolution)

The Northeast Assembly

1. Repeals the "Statutory Review Commission Report"
2. Expresses the sense of the Assembly that the creation of such a body in the first place, without any authority to do so in the Northeast constitution, is unconstitutional.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

The Constitution doesn't prohibit the creation of this body, so I don't feel this is unconstitutional.  I also believe the commission is necessary for our region.  I plan to vote nay on this, and I don't have any amendments to offer.

[Napoleon]

I cannot support anyone who would vote Aye on this legislation. This will undo great forms pioneered by Homelycooking and I. A certain gubernatorial candidate may be interested.

Going further, I'd like to point out that Former Vice President Dallasfan worked closely with us on the commission and signed off on the report.

[tpfkaw]

Vice President Dallasfan told me that he had no input in the report and was pressured into "signing off" on it.  The Northeast Assembly is given no such power to create such a commission in the Northeast Constitution.

[Napoleon]

How could one have no input on the report?

[tpfkaw]

Nothing in the report was one of his suggestions, nor was he ever consulted by the other members assembling the partisan wish-list that was the final product.

That is, unfortunately, untrue.
Partisan wish list? You come up with that all by yourself?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I plan to vote against this for substantive reasons as well, but it's my sense that a piece of legislation describing another piece of legislation as 'evil' is entirely unparliamentary and uncalled-for.

I agree.  This body is far from something I would consider 'evil', and I would like some examples of how it may have impacted the region negatively.

[Cincinnatus]

I understand you believe it to be unconstitutional, but I do not.  Repealing the SRC Report would be the single most devastating thing to happen to this region, next to our failure to pass a new constitution.  I would like to hear what Dallasfan has to say on this however, because he's become a big subject in this debate.

[#CriminalizeSobriety]

More asleep at the wheel than anything else. I only read my portion and didn't bother to read anybody else's.. I was only involved in my own section, which I believe to have been 2005-2006.

Addendum: I admittedly still have not read the SRC report, and if there are some partisan measures than that is regrettable. With a toiling work day freshly behind me and another one right ahead of me, Atlasia languishes far on the bottom of my priorities list, so I'd like for this to be the the last word on my involvement.
