Pardon my interruption everyone, but I just wanted to inform all that, given the change in power and the amount of time passed, I am giving an additional 48 hours to all regions to formally request a portion of the $8 billion from the Transportation Infrastructure Investment Act for the "repair, expansion, or construction of rapid bus lines in metropolitan areas", or to modify the request which was made of the former SoIA. Should you all wish to make any request or modification, please let me know in my Official Department Office. Thank you!

To put more weight behind the efforts of our Governor and Senators on getting federal money following hurricane Sandy, I was thinking the assembly could adopt a resolution (or is it a motion?). It would be great if it was unanimous. It would put more pressure on the white house.

Something like:

"As a result of the damage and devastation caused by hurricane Sandy to the regions of the Northeast and Mideast, this Assembly asks for federal relief funds to be delivered as soon as possible."

The text can be improved by someone, I don't mind. Then we can deliver it to the white house. The senate is already debating a natural disaster bill so maybe not useful to send it there.

We've got a special thread for that. Just make it all official-like and put it in the Legislation Introduction Thread.

Here is a counterproposal that integrates a desire of mine to bridge the Ambrose Channel.

Senator Simfan, by the way, I truly appreciate your input in the Legislation Introduction Thread, but only representatives or the governor may do so. If you so wish, one of us would gladly introduce it for you. Smiley

I think I should say, a resolution requesting funds is a little redundant, in my opinion.  The Senate is currently debating a bill and they're all well aware of how annoyed we are at the current handling of the situation.  I don't know if this sways Poirot's opinion in any way, but that's just my two cents.

I'd also like to say that because the GM projected lower costs for us than what we thought was needed, I am more comfortable supporting railroad electrification.  I would like to use Simfan's bill as an opportunity to reorganize funds from the budget we just passed.

IIRC, citizens may present legislation for consideration, but the bill needs a second signature before it can be brought to the floor.

That is correct, and I'm usually more than willing to sign off on a bill for a citizen whether I'm in agreement, disagreement, or indifferent.  Unfortunately, we rarely have citizen participation in regional government.  So Please!  PM me if you want a signature Tongue

I apologize, Simfan! I was not aware of the provision! Grin

Echoing the Speaker, if you need a signature, I'd be happy to supply mine.

Ok, perhpas I will withdraw the resolution if no representatives is interested in this either. The goal was to back up the Governor's (and Senators) efforts, show that the assembly was behind this. If the Governor doesn't find it useful...

It would take some time anyway to pass this if it is treated like debating for a bill.

We need to establish a plan for restoration of areas that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Obviously, I intend to request that all the money being given to us goes to home and infrastructure repair, but before I put the word in I feel I should ask if there's anything specifically our Representatives feel needs the attention of the Federal government.  Obviously, I don't intend to put that money toward brand new bus/train systems since we still have to fix the broken ones.

I hope this is the appropriate place to post this, and my apologies if it is not.

The Mideast Assembly has recently passed the following resolution, and I hope you would consider doing the same:
