Mideast Assembly Thread

[Devilman88]

How many assembly seats are there?

There are three seats, you can read about the Assembly here

Sweetness.
I wish I would have gotten involved in this sooner. It seems really fun.
So, someone might have answered this, but do you have to be an assembleyperson to introduce a bill?

Legislation shall be considered by the Assembly upon petition of any Assembly member, the Governor, or two Mideast citizens, but if you want to introduce a bill you can post it and I will sponsor it for you.

Okay.
I don't have a bill. I was just wondering.
How many bills get passed each week?

It varys on how active the Assembly members are and if we have any bill to pass.

How many would you guess have been passed in May?

[Devilman88]

About 3 or 4 bills were debated and voted on.

Also, sometimes the Senate will pass a bill that apportions money for the regions to dispense, which will add something for the Assembly to do.

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

Aye on Marijuana Taxation Statute

I'm really sorry for being out for so long. I have been REALLY sick.

[Peter]

Aye
The Ayes have it. The Ayes have it. The bill is transmitted to the Governor for his signature or veto.

"Mideast Soldier Memorial Act"

Because the Mideast Assembly gives thanks for all the Soldiers who have fought for our nation the following will be built in their honor:

1: A Memorial shall be built in the Mideast Capital, College Park to honor our Soldiers who lived in the Mideast.
2: The cost of the Memorial shall be paid by the Mideast Government.
3: The building of the Memorial shall start as soon as the Act is passed and signed by the Mideast Governor.

Debate is on the above bill. Whilst I by no means disagree with its motives, it is a somewhat sentimental feel-good bill that actually serves no purpose whatsoever. I will abstain.

[tmthforu94]

I like feeling good. We should honor those who fought for our country.
Please vote Aye.

I have nothing to add.

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

It's all good and I intend to support it.

How often would it normally be before there is a vote on it?

I propose the Assembly spend the money on the veterans and military families, rather than simple gestures.

[Fine...I Made This More Civil]

24 hours, or more if someone is unavailable due to sickness (like me) or otherwise. The Speaker can just say that there has not been debate in the last 24 hours, and call a vote if he so wishes.

Oh. Thank you

Another question. In the thread below, why is there so many votes? I thought only Assemblymen could vote? I thought there were only 3..

That is a public referendum. Basically, four Mideasterners protested the passing of the Mideast Abortion Statute. Our state constitution states that a public vote will be taken on any statute that four citizens protest against. In this public election, any Mideasterner can vote. Any election in the Voting Booth is open to the general public of that region, or, if no region is specified, then the whole country.

Got it
Thank you very much.

The Pornography and Marijuana bills have been vetoed.

[Purple State]

I ask that the Assembly attempt a veto override on the marijuana taxation bill.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I ask that the Assembly attempt a veto override on the marijuana taxation bill.

They can attempt it, but Dan voted no the 1st time.

I would have discussed more about the bill before it went to a vote, but I got caught up in other things.

I will sign the bill if the Assembly lowers the tax to 10% and uses that tax to pay for the Mideast Victim Compensation Act and repeals the 1% gun sales tax increase in the MVCA.

Again, my apologies for not working through this before it actually came to a vote.  If you guys find the terms above unreasonable, let me know, and I'd be willing to compromise with you to try to pass this.

[Devilman88]

I would like to bring the following before the Assembly:

The Mideast Marijuana Taxation Act

1. Whereas, the consumption of marijuana is legal, in accordance with FL 6-19, the Marijuana Legalization and Taxation Act.
2. There shall be a 10% tax increase on all marijuana substances in the Mideast
3. All money collected by this tax shall fund The Mideast Victim Compensation Act.
4. The 1% sales tax increase on gun purchases set in The Mideast Victim Compensation Act, is hereby repeal.
5. The Mideast Marijuana Legalization Statute is hereby repealed.

[Purple State]

That is acceptable.

[Devilman88]

That is acceptable.

Yes it is. I can vote for this because I know that the money would go to help someone in need.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

That is acceptable.

Yes it is. I can vote for this because I know that the money would go to help someone in need.

You still may want to keep clauses 1 and 3 from the vetoed bill.
