SB 115-28 Atlasian Steel Act (Tabled)

[LAKISYLVANIA]

More than 72 hours have passed. In accordance with the senate rules, I am closing the vote. Unless Scott overrules my decision, the amendment passes 6-4-1-7.

Well you claim to be a neutral and unpartisan PPT but you leave a bunch of other final votes open, and i've noticed that as deputy PPT you only close the votes you care about and let the other things run for infinite time.

If you close votes, than be consistent and close them all, not just close votes that you care about a certain outcome.

Prove that I use my position for my own benefit, I'd love to see you try.

Well for instance

you closed

RAIL FAILS

while other votes were running and you didn't close those

And now you again selectively closed votes, instead of consistently closing the votes that should be closed.

That alone is proof that you're biased as PPT.

Your very hostile response that was made in a deregatory sense only strengthens this view.

[Sirius_]

Really? So your proof is 1. that I closed a vote that was unanimous where I had nothing to lose by leaving it open and 2. that I gave a "hostile" response to you making a hostile accusation towards me. Let's just ignore the countless times both during this tenure and in previous ones as speaker of the house and of regional legislatures that I've certified votes that went against my position. Also, back then I didn't feel the need to manage every single thing because you hadn't resigned yet. In fact, I recall you saying that I was very helpful as deputy PPT just a few days ago. But now that I've denied your special request which was obviously politically motivated on your end, a request for which you didn't even make a proper motion to suspend the rules and instead just made demands of us (not a good look), I'm a terrible, biased deputy. Scott, who let my decision stand and actually had a stake in that vote, isn't I guess.

If your side can't be bothered to vote within 3 days plus the extra few hours since I was already late, you lose. That is how it has always worked. Nothing about this situation makes it any different. There was a vote recently that I missed that I could have changed the outcome of. I didn't complain about it or try to bend the rules.

Abstain

[WD]

Aye

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

If we're still voting on the CM Amendment, I uphold the previous senator's vote of Aye

[Utah Neolib]

(Not the CM amendment, my most recent amendment) was adopted.

[Sirius_]

CM amendment is tied, the vice president shall break the tie

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

First off, sorry for not seeing the tie vote until now.

Secondly, what the heck is going on? How many things are being voted on simultaneously, and how does Christian Man's amendment actually change the bill?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

A vote is now open on the following amendment. I will remind the senate that amendment votes last 72 hours (3 days) and it is your responsibility to vote within the allotted time. You should not rely on the Senate officers to allow extra time as this is not an official practice and you are accountable if your vote is not heard.

AN ACT
To democratize the steel industry; amended from Senator Utah Neolib's amendment

Be it enacted by the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia

Quote
Section 1. Title

This legislation may be cited as the Atlasian Steel Act.

Section 2. Democratization

1. All steel manufacturers are brought into collective ownership immediately upon passage of this act and shall be placed under the control of an Atlasian Steel Authority.

2. The establishment of the DFW (Democracy for Workers) shall be established in order to establish the right of unionization, as well as to create a democratic workplace in which workers have a direct say on profit, spending, promotions, etc.

4. The government of the DFW shall be cooperative, operating in a similar manner to businesses within Lincoln under the Consumer Protection Act. Former or current workers can be elected by regions to represent their businesses.  This will essentially reform the Board of Directors to prohibit those who are not invovled with Atlasia Steel.

5. The labor directors, consumer directors, and security and environment directors shall be elected by the workers although the president has the authority to allow the EPA and/or NSA to become involved in cases of extreme corruption, economic mismanagement, and/or violence.

6. The term of a Board director shall be four years. [/s] [/s]

Supposedly this is the amendment in question, then Laki motioned for a table. This is very confusing, partly because the formatting is a bit screwed up here.

[Sirius_]

As Laki has resigned from the senate, the motion to table is withdrawn. Furthermore, a new sponsor is required. I will give 24 hours for a new senator to sponsor, otherwise this will be removed from the floor.

[West_Midlander]

Just over one week passed since Laki resigned by the time this was noticed as having no sponsor so the bill should automatically be tabled as >36 hours have elapsed w/o a sponsor.

[West_Midlander]

Please motion to suspend the rules or recognize the bill as tabled.

[Sirius_]

I will motion to suspend if somebody takes this up by tonight
