Pacific Legislature Official Thread

[Oakvale]

Forgive the intrusion, Pacific Legislature members, but I'd really like to hear from Governor Oakvale on the Federal Stimulus for your regional needs in my office.

Biggest Need
Least Concern
Amount (You can estimate)

I need it by tomorrow\tonight

Woah, sorry. With all the chaos about the UDL, the legislature bill, etc, it completely slipped my mind. Apologies.

Yay!  Earmarks!!!!!     

$50,000,000 for a bgwah theme park.

Could we have some to upgrade the ferries in Puget Sound?  Or money to build solar power plants? 

[MaxQue]

If the vote is still open, I vote NAY on the Regional Legislature thing. Even if that won't anything.

I also want money to lower the very high unenployment in Nevada!
We need the stimulus!

Yes because the last one obviously solved all our problems and saved the world.

I have no objection to this bill and will open it for voting as soon as the time expires on the legislature amendment.

That's awful, I think we can do without a right-to-work law.

"To avoid people complaining about free riders"?  What?  Does anyone else see a problem with allotting people a certain set of benefits and not the others?  Let's not forget it is the government's place to step in and regulate if businesses are unwilling to treat their workers fairly and humanely of their own accord.  This sort of legislation, I think, unnecessarily politicizes a process which should not really be so, that of joining a union.  We do have the highest rate of union membership out of the regions and I don't see why we would want to decrease that?

I admit I was pretty indecise about the last section. I mostly agree with you Ebowed, but on the other hand I also think it could be a good way to extend union membership. Let's say that's worth a debate.

[Oakvale]

Legislature Amendment has passed!

[Antonio the Sixth]

Great !

Do we have some candidates already ?

[Oakvale]

Archangel was PMing people AFAIK, I'll ask any candidates to declare ASAP.

Anyway, for the formalities - The Pacific General Assembly Amendment passes with a vote of 7 in favour, and 3 opposed.

X Oakvale.

We've now got an upper house. It should be interesting to see how this plays out, if nothing else.

Also, as an aside, I just swore in for my second term, so, uh, thanks for re-electing me, guys.

Finally, voting on the Pro-Choice Act of 2010 is now open, and will remain so for one week.

Pro Choice Act of 2010 - Nay.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Nay.

(I don't necessarily think we should require union membership for employment in any given sector, but I don't think we should outright prohibit it, either.)

[Antonio the Sixth]

Reluctant aye. After Ebowed's comments, I'd favor repealing section 3.

Pacific Supreme Council Special election announcement and discussion thread.

Nay on the bill.

[CatoMinor]

Nay.

(I don't necessarily think we should require union membership for employment in any given sector, but I don't think we should outright prohibit it, either.)

Well this wouldn't prohibit it, like the name says it simply means that every worker should have a choice as to whether or not to join, and what choice they make shouldn't be used to determine if they get the job or not.

Aye
