PPT Office

[Mr. Reactionary]

I will make updates and pronouncements here.

1. I hereby appoint Utah Neoliberal as Deputy PPT.

2. I will work on the noticeboard and the empty slots tomorrow. I have the next 2 days off so I should have time.

3. Expect to get PMs from me reminding yall of votes. I dont think Ive ever received a single PM from the last PPT announcing votes. This will change and every Senator will be informed of open votes regardless of party affiliation. The President just had to veto a bill because almost no one showed up to vote. Im curious how many senators were even informed of the vote. Better communication leads to better participation.

4. We should be able to get through the backlog this session. There are around 50 bills in the queue but we have around 25 slots so it honestly shouldnt be too bad.

[Mr. Reactionary]

11/10 Update

1. Veto override on NGSA Amendment was approved.

2. Amendment vote now open on Juneteenth Act

2. Veto override vote now open on right to chose act

As PPT, I hereby issue the following directive:

Having no further business, I am taking a Leave of Absence effective immediately for at least a day and maybe a bit longer. I have surgery scheduled in less than 2 hours and will be unavailable during such time.

- R, PPT

[Joseph Cao]

Good luck with your surgery, Mr. PPT! If I didn't know what it was for I would have said your back must have been in need of it from carrying the session.

[FairBol]

I have surgery scheduled in less than 2 hours and will be unavailable during such time.

Just dropped in to say best wishes and good luck on your surgery.

Good luck with your surgery, Mr. PPT! If I didn't know what it was for I would have said your back must have been in need of it from carrying the session.

That must have been what gave me the strangulated hernia they fixed today.

[Mr. Reactionary]

3/9

I have most of the Notice Board up and the first round of bills. I will update the queue and offer some debate later today when Im done with physical therapy.

I hereby appoint both Laki and Utah Neolib to serve as Deputy PPTs to assist in floor management. That should give us good coverage as Laki is a few hours ahead of me and UNL is a few hours behind.

Since the Cyberdyne Act passed last session I hereby rescind the 2/15 Directive as duplicative.

[Mr. Reactionary]

4/3

[LAKISYLVANIA]
