"UTI ROGAS" indicates a vote in favor of an item,
"ANTIQUO" or "NEGAT" is a vote against, and "ABSTINEO"
is an abstention.


The items for consideration are as follows:

-----

ITEM I. Ratification of Constitutional Amendement: Lex
Octavia de Centuriata
Item PASSED. Uti Rogas (Yes): 16 votes; Antiquo (No):
1 vote.

LCSF: ANTIQUO.

QFM: UTI ROGAS. I agree with Marius. The name Octavia
de Ratione Centuriarum is much more descriptive name
and should substituted at a later date.

TLF: UTI ROGAS. The ancient Res Publica started with
only thirty centuriae, and our population is clearly
too small to support one hundred and ninety-three of
them. Therefore this measure is both traditional and
useful.

CMM: UTI ROGAS. I vote to pass the amendment with the
suggestion that the Consules consider revising the
title at some point. I offer the title Lex Octavia de
Ratione Centuriarum for consideration and stand ready
to offer comments on request.

MOG: UTI ROGAS. This amendment, which allows for a
number of centuries proportional to the population,
will greatly contribute to a smooth running of the
December elections, and decrease the likelihood that a
"run-off" will be needed because no candidate obtained
a majority of centuries. The people have already
passed this lex overwhelmingly.

ATMC: UTI ROGAS. With the relatively few citizens that
we have at this time, I believe this is needed.

-----

ITEM II. Payment of $84 to Provincia Hispania
Item PASSED unanimously. Uti Rogas (Yes): 17 votes.

PC : UTI ROGAS. I am impressed by this Provincia's
activity and hope that it will serve as a model for
others.

QFM: UTI ROGAS. We must live up to our promises

MOG: UTI ROGAS. Hispania is a dynamic and active
province, with several events planned for the
citizens. The citizens of Hispania have made a
reasonable request for their portion of the money
collected in that province, and we should grant it
without delay

TLF: UTI ROGAS. Hispania is legally entitled to the
money. Even if that weren't the case, it's a
reasonable request from an outstanding provincia.

ATMC: UTI ROGAS. I believe that this is due to
Provincia Hispania. Beyond that, Provincia Hispania
has certainly contributed much, and is one of our most
enthusiastic provinces.
