Senate elections & News round-up
Nyman D.C.
The Senate appears to be returning to the efficiency of the days of old when Emsworth ran it. The Senate is making good progress on various bills, even if most are being rejected or withdrawn.
The Deregistration Bill passed unanimously into Law late on Tuesday, thus hopefully bringing some order to a situation that was rife with legal chaos. The Senate has also passed a supplemental appropriation to help deal with the aftermath of the Katrina tragedy.
The TVA Privatisation Bill continues to occupy a spot on the Senate floor, and considering that its been on the floor two weeks now, its somewhat disappointing to see that despite all the possible changes that have been suggested (e.g. part privatisation), none have actually seen a vote before the whole Senate. Debate continues to go back and forth, with no end in sight.
Several other bills have been quickly withdrawn by their sponsors in recent days, including two bills from Al that were in need of substantial work and another from CheeseWhiz that was criticised as unneeded. The Senate is making good progress on an amendment to the Species Act of 2005, and looks set to pass it before week's end.
Election Update
Cheyenne, WY
Midwest Lieutenant Govenor and Senate hopeful Everett dropped out of her race for the Midwest Senate seat today, citing a lack of forseeable time in which to be active. She had been leading in most polls commissioned in spite of a relatively quiet campaign. She endorsed Associate Justice Ernest for the seat, praising his experience and competence. She has declined to rule out a run in the future.
Today also saw the entry of our first candidate into the Pacific race. Jesus, a frequent candidate and the Jesus Christ Partys' only member, has declared for the seat after being courted by many Pacificians.
