Do any of the delegates plan on doing their job, or am I going to have to carry the team this session and come up with legislation to debate?

Please contact your delegates and encourage them to introduce legislation! Only 1 (!!!) delegate voted in the Speaker elections, not a good start!!

[tmthforu94]

Good Morning,

We just had a final vote on a bill receive ZERO votes!!!

Final vote. 48 hours.

Delegates: do your job. I'm completely tired of messaging delegates asking them to be active. If you can't handle the basic responsibilities of the position, resign and I'll find someone who will.

You're about to recall the entire chamber aren't you?

You're about to recall the entire chamber aren't you?

They still have a chance to turn it around. TimTurner should stay, and at least Hillgoose has made an attempt to debate and I know he's been writing legislation. Spark continues to be a major disappointment, PragPop hasn't made a single post after swearing in and Fillinovich hasn't even been online in two weeks (concerned about that).

Because everyone votes like a partisan hack in the game now, the only person who lost (Wulfric) was leaps and bounds the most active of the candidates.

Vacancy Notice

PragmaticPopulist has resigned his seat in the Chamber. Per the Appointment Regulation Act, I am required to appoint a Labor Party member to the seat. If it is determined there are no Laborites interested in filling the position, we will proceed from there as statutorily mandated.

Please PM me if you are interested in the seat or have a recommendation.

This is getting ridiculous. Time to take some action!

I asked PragmaticPopulist and Spark498 to resign so that active Southerners could replace them. PragmaticPopulist graciously did so. I think whatever is happening to Fillinovich may be RL issues, but once he misses four votes he'll be automatically removed.

After careful consideration and consultation with Labor leadership, I am appointing dfwlibertylover to the seat vacated by PragmaticPopulist. While we have substantial policy and sports disagreements, he will bring activity and a wealth of experience that is desperately needed in the Chamber.

An enlightened choice, Mr. Governor!

Glad to see the Governor put Atlasia above party! Inactive people like Spark don't deserve support, regardless of their party.

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

I want to thank Senator Haslam2020 for his years of service to this region - he is a good friend and I am sure we have not seen the last of him. I also want to thank him for graciously stepping aside so that someone more active and capable could take the position. Haslam put what is best for the region above his own personal ambitions, something we haven't seen from other politicians lately.

Per the Southern Constitution, since the vacancy has occurred less than 8 weeks prior to the December elections, it is my duty as Governor to appoint a Southerner to fill out the remainder of Haslam's term for the Class II Senate seat. This individual will also require approval from the Chamber of Delegates.

With such an excellent and diverse pool of candidates in our region, I have no doubt that I will quickly find someone who is qualified and ready to represent our region's interests in Nyman. Please contact me if you are interested in the position or if you would like to share your thoughts.

[tmthforu94]

I am hereby appointing North Carolina Yankee to the Class II Senate seat that was vacated by Haslam2020.

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

Earlier this evening, I authorized our Secretary of State to include the recall of Senator Lechassuer on the ballot for the upcoming weekend's election. This is based on my interpretation of the federal and regional constitution, as well as the advice of our Attorney General. While the federal government makes no mention of recall procedure, our Southern Constitution vests in The People the authority to recall any elected official. Since regional senators are subject to our regional election laws, this recall is valid as it was signed by 7+ Southern citizens.

Senator Lechassuer is a good friend and I am very sad that he isn't around. I hope that everything is OK and he is able to return to the forum soon.

[tmthforu94]

Our regional Wiki has been updated again, including all legislation from last session and updating the lists of elected officials.

I echo the Governor's statement.
I also wish all Southerners in the Atlasian military a happy Tanksgiving!

Recall Vote This Weekend

Good afternoon - there is a recall vote ongoing to remove 2 inactive delegates and 1 inactive senator. It is important that everyone gets out and votes as high turnout is required for the recall to be successful. I am currently in the process of PMing all Southerners reminding them to vote.

Reminder, please vote if you haven't done so already!

For those who haven't seen, Spark498 made the decision to resign on Friday. I have appointed Mr. Reactionary to replace him, he will be very active and do a great job!!

Also, Lechassuer returned today - he was unable to post for the past two weeks due to not having internet access. We are glad to have him back!!

Statement from Governor Tmthforu94

In response to Senator Lechassuer's resignation today: per the Southern Constitution, Article VI, Section 6, a special election is to occur since the vacancy occurred more than 8 weeks before the next scheduled election for the seat. I will be notifying the Secretary of State Peebs to conduct the election next weekend, November 30th - December 2nd. Candidates must file to run by the end of the day on Wednesday, November 28th.

I am very glad that Lechassuer was able to return to the game but am saddened that he resigned earlier today. I understand that he attempted to rescind this resignation and while I sympathize with him, I have to follow the law. I encourage Lechassuer to consider running in the special election, as well as any other interested southerners.

[tmthforu94]

Fillinovich has been recalled (F) and the seat is now vacant. Please contact me if you are interested. Thx!
