Northeast Assembly Thread

[Robespierre's Jaw]

FTR, support the re-nomination of Smid for Speaker of the House.

AYE

Despite the conformity I support the bill sponsored by fellow Representative Cynic.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I concur with fellow Representative Cynic in this latest debate. Not only as I deem it far more simplistic but we must brace ourselves for an onslaught of a lack of voter activity, something I and other Northeasterners have witnessed in the past. Although the Northeast is a hub of activity at the present, such action is bound to conclude at some stage. And I believe upon the ratification of the Strategic Registration Amendment that process will be as inevitable as the failure of New Coke in 1985.

The Lt. Gov is supposed to be the person who puts passed legislation up on the Wiki.

wiki is in horrible condition

Conor started putting stuff on the Wiki, but I think he just gave up.  I don't think we've had an LG work on the Wiki since then, and that was 2008.

Indeed that is correct Moderate, it was simply too much to do.

As for the latest amendment, this Representative is highly supportive of it. Although its not what Representative Antonio originally intended, it is, in my opinion a much more realistic approach to the issue of seats this grand Assembly shall have in accordance to the Northeast's voters. Motion to vote Mr. Speaker.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Mr. Speaker

I hear by resign my office as Northeastern Representative, effective immediately. Due to my lack of interest in the office, combined with my attentions largely focusing on outside interests, mostly schooling this was an easy decision for me to make.

Good and Good Luck in the days ahead.

Thank you for your service, Representative.

While I do thank you Lieutenant Governor for your kind words I personally doubt you should be thanking me. If anything, I was one of this Assembly's least active representatives who, I believe voted on only one piece of legislation. Regardless, this Assembly at least shall be much more active without my lingering presence.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

This is straightforward enough that, unless there are any objections, we should just move on to the final vote.

Why should we let the Atlasian federal government set our minimum wage?

More importantly, what is the current wage set by the government?

Shame I was rather bored with the political process otherwise, if I were still a Representative this item of legislation would have had my backing. Regardless, I must say to all members of the Assembly I commend you all on your collective efforts

Why do you hate infrastructure, so?

It would benefit our region; it would create jobs; pump money into the economy. Though having said this,  I myself would have gone further, much further and encourage greater availability within the inner city; even call to buy back the networks, though I doubt that would have been successful. But I commend Mr. Polnut's actions - particularly in hostile climate.

Bring back monthly propositions!

[Robespierre's Jaw]

(Shouts from the Public Gallery, rather drunkardly)

Why are there mysterious stains on the Constitution - or did I confuse it with The Conscience of a Conservative? Hard to tell these days.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Mr. President and Governors of the Academy, Committee Members, fellows, my very noble and approved good masters, my colleagues, my friends, my fellow-students. In the great wealth, the great firmament of your nation's generosity, this particular choice may perhaps be found by future generations as a trifle eccentric, but the mere fact of it--the prodigal, pure, human kindness of it--must be seen as a beautiful star in that firmament which shines upon me at this moment, dazzling me a little, but filling me with warmth and the extraordinary elation, the euphoria that happens to so many of us at the first breath of the majestic glow of a new tomorrow.

From the top of this moment, in the solace, in the kindly emotion that is charging my soul and my heart at this moment, I thank you for this great gift which lends me such a very splendid part in this, your glorious occasion. Thank you.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Seconded.

Thirded.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I echo the sentiments of Representative Brandon.

My question to Representative Guy, the logic, sir behind this bill?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Members of the Assembly,

I stand before you today with nothing to say. After all, my own concerns about the proposed legislation have already been raised.

Nay

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I second Representative Brandon's sentiments: Mr Polnut for Speaker!

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I proudly endorse Representative Jack Polnut for the position of Speaker!

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Firstly, I would like to echo the sentiments of the entire chamber and congratulate my friend, and Representative Polnut on his election as Speaker of the House. Once again, I shall adhere to the vast calls of those in this chamber to suspend legislative activity till 3 January.

Aye

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I'm supportive of the bill, though I can't help but ask about the fourth point.

It states that the government will take part ownership of 49% in order to help start ups. My question to you, Representative Bane is will the government, inevitably sell off its share once the wind farms have been propped up; or will the government continue to maintain partial ownership?
