Senator Lüc's Office, 49th Cosa

[Lüc da Schir]

Yet another Cosa is upon us. This month's business:
- RZ1, The Website Responsibility Bill - puts the MinStuff in charge of Talossa's web presence. It should always have been this way, so I would vote in favour.
- RZ2, The Members of the Chancery fix - just as it says, it's simply fixes a contradiction. Nothing more to say.
- RZ3, The election timing amendment - it basically ensures that the elections are always held at the end of the final Clark/month of recess; while it does have its merits, I am concerned with 1) Any conflicting reports or recommendations from the RCOR after April 30th, and 2) The fact that I have no real problems with the King dissolving the Cosa himself (when he doesn't forget to do so). I will perhaps abstain on this, but I hope to get a better opinion on this later in the month.

Any suggestion, feedbacks or opinions are very welcome. This thread can also be used by my constituents for contacting me in my capacity as Senator for Benito about any topic they wish.

So I haven't polled for opinions on this thread in a while, but I thought it would be a good idea to return doing it. (Several Benitians have expressed their opinions elsewhere on this board and/or in private, and I thank them for that. Your opinions are always welcome!)

RZ20 - Rephrasing Cultural Suggestions Act - a simple rephrasing act.
RZ21 - Provincial Assignment Simplification Act - changing province to match that of a close relative would be forbidden; a redundant clause (1000 km + national borders) is eliminated, because you already only change province if you want to - more on this cuz I'm not good at summarizing here.
RZ22 - The OrgLaw Standing Committee Bill No. 1 (Article 9)
- part of the OrgLaw gets rewritten and a portion of that is moved to el Lexhatx.
RZ23 - The Mandatory Cosa Lists Act and Amendment
- Parties are finally required to submit, prior to the elections, a list of people they will give Cosa seats to.

I'm currently leaning on voting PËR on all four bills. Thoughts? You can read the full Clark on the Database System.

I support a Per on all bills.

This (last) Clark's business:

RZ24 - The Summer is Magic amendment - Allows the Seneschal to declare two months of recess for July and August to account for our typically limited summer activity, if the last Cosa had no months of recess. Undecided, but leaning in favour.
RZ25 - The 12 month calendar Amendment - 8 Clark version - proposes to change the structure of Ziu business in the following way: elections in January, government formation in February, Clarks 1-4 from March until June, summer recess in July and August, Clarks 5-8 from September to December. Allows the King to pick a substitute PM should the VoC fail. A huge change; undecided on this one as well, but leaning against.
RZ26 - The Ranked Choice is the Best Choice Amendment - Senatorial elections conducted by the Chancery will use the Instant Runoff Voting system. Hugely in favour.
RZ27 - The OrgLaw Standing Committee Bill No. 2 (Article 10) - Wipes from the OrgLaw redundant pieces of law. In favour.
RZ28 - Túischac'h Disentrenchment Amendment - Reverses the reforms made to the process of choosing a new Tuischac'h (the speaker of the Cosa), as it has been difficult to fill it and keep it that way in its current iteration.
RZ29 - The Joseph McCarthy Amendment - "anti-Talossan activities" are no longer ground for expulsion from Talossa by the Uppermost Court. A relic of Ben's tyrannical kingdom. In favour.
RZ30 - The 12 month calendar Amendment - 5 Clarks Version - similar to the other one, but utterly unworkable. Against.

As always, any suggestion, feedbacks or opinions are very welcome.

Well, this kind of wraps it up for this term in office. As some of you might have noticed in my post on the Senate's voting thread, my intention is to run again for a second term, to keep representing the fine citizenry of this province and making our voices heard at the national level.
