CFD -ABSTINEO I don't C. Argentinus Cicero enough to decide on yes.
QFM -VTI ROGAS
DIS -VTI ROGAS Although I am not terribly keen on setting precedents of this kind, I have to agree that Argentina and her citizens currently deserve special consideration. No one will benefit by leaving this province without a governor. Further, I am satisfied that this citizens taxes will be paid prior to his appointment although I would have preferred this to have happened prior to this vote.

DIS -VTI ROGAS
AGG-VTI ROGAS
TLF -VTI ROGAS
LSA -ABSTINEO I have seen nowhere that this item was explained. If I
overlooked a discussion, I apologize.
MCJ -ANTIQUO
Although the Ludus Magnus group is no longer allied with Legio XXIV, the leadership of the group is still friendly to Nova Roma. They will be participating at Roman Market Day in September; they should be contacted regarding sponsorship, and their existing sponsorship simply transferred to their new, separate identity.
PC -NEGAT
GMM VTI ROGAS
MAM -VTI ROGAS

X. Approval of the Senatus Consultum concerning the association of Balticum with Venedia.

Item X passes with 17 votes in favor 3 opposing and 1 abstentions

GnEM-VTI ROGAS
CFQ -VTI ROGAS This is the same formula as the same as between Pannonia and Bohemia. I think this solution will be for the best both for Venedia and Balticum until there are enough citizens interested in a separate Balticum.
FAC -ABSTINEO
GnSA -VTI ROGAS
LPO -VTI ROGAS
MM-TA -VTI ROGAS
ATMC -VTI ROGAS

TLF -VTI ROGAS
LSA -ABSTINEO
MCJ -VTI ROGAS
PC -VTI ROGAS
GMM -VTI ROGAS
MAM -ANTIQUO The notion of association between provinces or
territories is vague; i prefer the Baltic states as part of Provincia
Venedia, to be eventually separated later.

XI. Revocation of the Senatus Consultum of 11/09/2000 entitled "The Edicta Commentary Period of Marcus Iunius Iulianus."

Item XI passes with 2O votes in favor 0 opposing and 0 abstentions and 1 no vote

XII. Approval of the Lex Equitia Galeria de Ordinarii, an amendment to the Constitution which has yet to be presented to the Comitia Centuriata.

Item XII FAILS with 9 votes in favor 8 opposing and 3 abstentions and 1 no vote

GnEM-VTI ROGAS
CFQ -VTI ROGAS When many just cried out loud, Tribune Tiberius Galerius Paulinus looked for a solution to the present situation, with Praetor Noricus (who at the same time is our list moderator) missing. I think we should honor that. When I look at the proposal I find that I am willing to support it. This is a time when we must look for solutions and be constructive.
FAC -VTI ROGAS As Senator and Tribunus, I give my full support to the amendment by my colleague Tiberius Paulinus. This is the best and more honorable and fast solution.
GnSA -VTI ROGAS
LPO -VTI ROGAS
MM-TA -VTI ROGAS
ATMC -VTI ROGAS
AICPM-VTI ROGAS
LECA -ANTIQUO a provision should be made for prior notice given, or "has not been for in contact for a period of two months, (unless prior notification has been submitted to the Senate.)"
DIPI -ANTIQUO I was going to vote for this because in general it is a good law but Cincinnatus has a good point which I overlooked. If someone informs us ahead of time he is leaving an exception should be made. For example if in mid-term a magistrate finds out he is being deployed overseas, and informs the senate, provisions can be made to keep him in office and still have his duties carried out. I ask my fellow senators to reverse their votes or at least abstain until such a change be written in the law.
LCSF -ABSTINEO
CFD -ABSTINEO I concur my colleagues D. Iunius Palladius and L. Equitius Cincinnatus in their comments about exemptions. So I suggest to amend the draft and put it on the agenda for the next Senate session again.
QFM -ANTIQUO Something should be added waiving this Lex requirement if a previous announcement given to this Senate informing them of the absence.
DIS -ANTIQUO I agree with the comments of my eminent colleague,
Senator Cincinnatus.
AGG-ANTIQUO
TLF -ABSTINEO I do think that language allowing for extenuating circumstances is desirable in this amendment. I also think that, as this is the only objection mentioned by any senator to the amendment, and as it is established practice in Nova Roma to give the senate its say on amendments after the comitia have voted on them, that it would be reasonable to present a corrected form of the amendment to the centuriae without having to consult the senate a second time on the matter.
LSA -ANTIQUO In deference to points already articulated by others.
MCJ -ANTIQUO I agree that this lex should be rewritten to include provision for legitimate announced leave of absences, and resubmitted at the next Senate vote.
PC -ANTIQUO
GMM -NV
MAM -VTI ROGAS

Kal. Iun. MMDCCLVII
