We need a Justice to certify any new bills, by the way. 

[Oakvale]

Voting has now closed.

The The Ultimate Supply-Side Economics Act has passed, and I will now sign it into law.

It's a hard postition to keep filled. It's why we got rid of it in 2006.

We've got a candidate, actually, we just need to sort something else out first.

There's been some kind of mistake, and it's ended in me being elected to the Senate.

Which means my tenure as your Governor is over. I hope most of you think I did a half-way decent job, or, if not that, at least that I tried my best .

It was a privelege to serve as Governor (and Lt. Governor) for the last several months, and I'm proud of the work we got done - a new branch of the legislature, a cushy job for those of the legal persuasion (), some actual activity - and I'm confident Archangel, who has been one of my best in-game friends and most capable allies, will build on this strong foundation as he assumes office as the Governor of the Pacific.

Thank you, everyone, I hope you enjoyed it. I know I had fun.

(Former) Governor of the Pacific

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

I'm not really sure what to say.  Is this a time of sad goodbyes and au revoirs?  Or is it of new beginnings and brighter horizons?  Only time will tell.

I've known Oakvale ever since I joined Atlasia nearly a year ago.  I was new to the country and he was Lt. Governor of the Pacific region, I considered him young, brash, and a bit too offputting.

Nonetheless, when Oakvale became Governor, he endorsed my campaign for Lt. Governor (Ok, so I was going up against Xahar, that might have had something to do with it).  He also endorsed my failed attempts at the JCP chair, as well as the Convention Delegation.

At the end of it, what began simply as a working relationship evolved into a great friendship that will always have a place in my heart.  He is one of my best friends on the Atlas, and one of the best people I have met ever since I have joined.

I stuck with him through the many reforms we attempted, through the gubernatorial election, through intrigue and party distrust, and through his Presidential campaign.  He has supported me, and I have been happy to support him. 

So, I'd like to give a toast off to Oakvale.  Good-bye and good riddance.  And I wish you the best, my friend in your future endeavours.

And one more to the bright future that is hopefully ahead.  And with that, I am happy to accept the position of Governor.

Congratulations Oakvale, you were a great Governor and will be remembered by pacificians. And best of luck to Archangel, who, I'm sure, will prove himself a worthy successor.

Jail for declawing ? See, I support banning declawing, but I can't imagine someone getting jailed for that.

[Ebowed]

Aye

[bgwah]

Aye!!!

[CatoMinor]

A bill I proposed, actually having a shot at passing

p.s. This better mean Kitten endorsements in the future.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Nay for the reason stated above. Too bad a little amedment could have been sufficient.

[Oakvale]

Nay for the same reasons as Antonio. A bit extreme, no?

[CatoMinor]

I forgot I'm not a councilor anymore, so I get to vote here.

Aye

[Junkie]

Hey, so do I get to vote here now?

[CatoMinor]

Hey, so do I get to vote here now?

Yup,

And does Oakvales vote still count? he left us before the vote ended.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yup,

And does Oakvales vote still count? he left us before the vote ended.

Oh well, that might be a problem indeed. A problem made even more crucial that we still don't have a Justice to make a constitutional decision.

Now that I think about it, Junkie would make an epic Justice. Too bad he's already the AG.

[Alcon]

Aye.

[Junkie]

Nay

And on the issue of Oakvale's vote, my personal opinion that his vote would be valid so long as he was a valid and eligible voter at the time of the vote.  Just because the vote was open for a while after he voted does not change that fact in my mind.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Aye 

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I wish to officially abstain due to my new presence in this region.

[Antonio the Sixth]

No need to be a specialist of PA politics to have an opinion on declawing.
