The wording needs fixed since the Lieutenant Governor is a Representative.

Question, does the current law state that vacancies are not filled by election?

The Lt. Governor position has been filled by Governor appointment (with Assembly recommendation) since I've been here.  Otherwise, the part referring to "regular" Representatives hasn't been changed in this amendment.

Debate time has expired.  Members will now cast their votes on passage of the legislation.  This will be a 24-hour vote.

Voting time has expired.  The ayes are six, nays are zero, abstentions are zero, and non-voting members: one.  The bill is passed.

The Assembly will now consider the legislation introduced by the gentleman from Pennsylvania.  Debate will be for 48 hours.

I looked on the wiki to see if this region has established a formal tax code, yet.  I was able to find some already, but they were apparently repealed by the SRC, so as far as I know, the region does not have a real tax code.  However, I must oppose the current proposal.  A flat tax would not curb income inequality and, in fact, would just continue that trend.  Unless the sponsor is willing to change this bill so that tax rates vary by income bracket, I am unable to support it.

I'm opposed to this bill and any attempts to change traditional tax structure in the region.

What is our current, tax structure?  What legislation do we have regarding taxation of cigarettes, alcohol, ect? 

FTR, I oppose this bill.  Though, considering the Governor has to do a budget very soon, it's definitely a good idea to find all relevant, non-repealed tax information.

This appears to be the only tax in this region that has not been repealed.  Actually, I'm not even sure if this a 'tax', per se.  Everything else we have that's relevant to the tax code is... deductions.
