Love it! Can we move to second chamber ! Marcus Villanova WLP 16:45, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd wait a little longer; first that big reform should get through (or not, as long as it makes room) 07:31, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems with get alot of bills passed, since were only one vote away on most state reform changes! Marcus Villanova WLP [[Image:Flag of Lovia Small.png|border|20px]] 16:18, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know. That one vote, though, seems to be hard to get. Nevertheless, the solution is easy. When MOTCs choose not to vote after weeks, we count all valid votes cast and then we will see the bill passed beautifully. 07:32, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can we do that? 07:37, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's the law. 07:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see a new loophole: block all MOTC who you suspect are against your cool proposal for two weeks and put it to a vote. 07:46, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

'The minimum wage is 1400 dollars'. I guess you mean per year? It might be easier to define as per hour (because of people who only work a few hours a week or a few days a month). Semyon E. Breyev 08:41, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was per month but I'll define it by the hour. 08:49, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
