Northeast Assembly Thread

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

Aye

[Lambsbread]

For all that is holy and Libertarian, Aye.

[Username MechaRFK]

Aye

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

After the assembly concludes its vote, I hereby appoint Giovanni as my Lieutenant Governor. I ask the body to vote to confirm him after this vote has concluded.

[Cincinnatus]

Aye

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

With all members having voted, voting time is expired.  Ayes are seven, with no members voting against or abstaining.  The bill is passed.

The Assembly will now consider the appointment of Giovanni as Lieutenant Governor.  I suggest that all questions members might have for him be asked here.  Should any questions be asked by members, I will tell Giovanni to answer them in this thread.

Debate will last for 48 hours.

[Lambsbread]

Giovanni, do you like Godfather's Pizza?

[Free Palestine]

Giovanni, are you or have you ever been a magnet?

[Cincinnatus]

Giovanni, you have a history here of not actually caring.  Actually, I'm quite surprised in fact, that you've been appointed to be Lt. Gov.  Why should we expect you to be any different than the "carpetbagger" you've admitted you are..? 

[Napoleon]

I think Giovanni deserves a chance to demonstrate that he is an asset to this region. So long as he can work together well with the Governor, he will do fine. Seeing as Snowstalker supports Giovanni, we should see what they can do together.

This is the only question I think is worth answering.  Just saying.

I share the same concerns.  Also, he's been a little snotty to me lately, so I'm not sure how I will vote on confirmation right now, to be completely honest.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

I appointed Giovanni simply due to the fact that he was the only person interested. However, the fact that he wants the slot likely means he's willing to work in it...I hope.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Him answering the question would help to prove that...

Just to give you some friendly advice, when you need stuff like that, sometimes you gotta go out and start PMing people who you think might do the job well. Thats what I did when I had to fill vacancies to the Assembly.

[Lambsbread]

Giovanni, if you are or ever have been a magnet, how the f**k do you work?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Debate has concluded.  Members will now cast their votes on confirmation.  This will be a 24-hour vote.

On the motion that Giovanni be confirmed to the office of the Lieutenant Governor

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Nay.

[Cincinnatus]

Had he given a response, my vote would have probably been different.  Nay.

[tpfkaw]

Aye

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

Nay.

[Lambsbread]

Someone needs to do the damn job, Aye.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

As Giovanni has declined to respond, I hereby rescind my nomination.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

The Governor has rescinded his nomination.  The voting period is over and the motion is not agreed to.

The Assembly will now consider the legislation introduced by the gentleman from Pennsylvania.  Debate will last for more than 48 hours, because I will be in Boston this weekend and return presumably late on Sunday.

I don't really know what to think about this, to be completely honest.  I'd strongly be against a ban on public dancing, but people should always be courteous to the safety of others when doing anything.  Would the sponsor like to say a few words about his bill?

Mr. Speaker, let me take the liberty of introducing this violent form of "dance":
