I might not catch everything. If I haven't posted it within, say, 24 hours, you should post it in the office thread, probably.

If some signed bills are in your AFG office and some aren't, it's going to be even more annoying for us to track down laws than it already is. I'd rather they not be mixed up for our sakes.

Anyway, considering the very prominent separation of powers thing at the federal level, doing executive signings in legislative threads gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I'm including all bill signings in my office thread, to be clear. Anyhow, the reaction to me announcing I'd continue with my gubernatorial practice regarding this was met with broadly positive reactions, particularly from those who wanted more ease with tracking the fate of bills. This is the first sign of discomfort I've ever seen at the notion from anyone.

I'm not seeing the announcement in either of your office threads, your presidential campaign, or anywhere else I could realistically expect it to be. If it's offsite that would be another matter.

For future tracking ventures I shall probably have to disabuse myself of the notion that a unified record of executive signatures would be on AFG as opposed to AFE.

Aaah good catch.
Apologies.
Anyhow it seems you've already seen the post in question.
I apologize for this specifically, I got too used to using the AFE office and misstepped. This was a learning experience.
I thank you for catching this early.
