Washington 2017: The U.S. Political RP: IC [CLOSED]

[Greater Arab State]

Dulles Airport

As the conversation between Kramer and Hitchens appeared to be over, the Marshall re-cuffed Kramer.

“Alright sir, we best be going. Don’t want you to miss you me flight.”

He stood Kramer up and led him out of the doors to the terminal, to the TSA Checkpoint.

"Of course sir. My apologies for this situation again sir." Kramer responded.

"I am not sure, but a 5% tax on those procedures sounds good."

"Sure." Marlowe smiled. "So we put that baby in. Anything else you'd like in your tax Bill?"

"Maybe a 10% tax on contraceptives. Is that too high? Do you think the Democrats and the Progressives will filibuster?"

"Sad to see Stansky proposing Soviet-style un-constitutional land grabs. His politics will drive up taxes, chill new investment, and drive up prices."
"What business owner would invest in Stansky's New Jersey if they knew when they were forced out by bad business conditions that the government would steal their assets and fine them."
"Fines won't pay wages unless they are really big and harm their business in other states. Fines don't pay wages forever. Their won't be enough jobs for his nutty economics work."
"I want to be in that debate. I want to defeat a Progressive anti-Semite on live TV."

The US Marshall nodded at the TSA agents, did not speak a word to Kramer, and the agents scanned Kramer with a wand and gave him a brief pat-down.

"Sure." Marlowe smiled. "So we put that baby in. Anything else you'd like in your tax Bill?"

"Maybe a 10% tax on contraceptives. Is that too high? Do you think the Democrats and the Progressives will filibuster?"

"We'll have to push it through the House first, since it deals with raisin' revenue." Marlowe wiped the invisible bead of sweat from his forehead. "So you'll have time to prepare for their possible opposition."

[Velahor]

"Of course sir. My apologies for this situation again sir." Kramer responded.

The US Marshall nodded at the TSA agents, did not speak a word to Kramer, and the agents scanned Kramer with a wand and gave him a brief pat-down.

Upon searching Kramer, the hefty man giving him the pat-down feels nothing except what seems like paper money in a pocket. He leans in toward Kramer before departing and whispers, “I know you’re innocent. Kramer 2020.”

The Marshall gives him a stern look and leads Kramer up the escalator to the terminal. Some in the crowds notice the Senator, though most are too busy to recognize him or say anything.

The Marshall sits Kramer down and sits next to him.

“I don’t think I introduced myself. I’m Jon Ackerman, US Marshall and arrested persons specialist. I’ll escort you the rest of the way to Montana, as I previously mentioned. It’s a long flight, would you like anything to eat?”

"It's nice to meet you sir. I would offer you my hand but I for once in my life I'm showing some restraint." Kramer said jokingly before continuing.

"Is there a Starbucks anywhere sir?"

As of now the debate would only feature the Senator and the Mayor, neither of which I have been contacted by at this time. Any further discussion about the debate is premature at this time but I will keep everyone posted.

"Is there a Starbucks anywhere sir?"

“Yes, right down that way,” the officer points down the terminal. “We can grab something really quick before we take off.”

“Okay,” replies the officer, standing up and assisting Kramer in standing as well.

“One condition though: you gotta wait to eat until we’re on the plane. We won’t be long until we board anyway. I wish I didn’t have to make you wait, but the rules say I can’t have you uncuffed when we’re in the airport. Once we’re off the ground, the cuffs can come off and you can eat comfortably.”

Governor’s Office
Helena, MT

Doc was smiling; signing off on bills, and vetoing others, was one of his favorite things to do as governor. He had a glass of Maker’s Mark neat, his custom-made pen with the words “Liberty and Justice For All” inscribed on the side, and a fat cigar awaiting him on his desk. He may have liked this job a little too much. Only two other activities brought Doc the joy that signing bills into law did, pulling the trigger when hunting big game, and the sweet sound of turning the key and firing up a rebuilt motor for the first time.

He took a seat, as a news crew snapped a quick picture of him before leaving him to his work.

He picked up the first bill:

HB541- Increases the allowed production capacity of “small breweries” as defined by Montana law

This bill didn’t take much thought for Stephens. Montana’s booming craft beer scene loved Doc, he held campaign events at breweries and was always a supporter of removing the restrictions that held them back from competing with the nationally-known beer companies. He signed the bill into law.

HB142- Revise insurance law to give mental health parity with physical health

This one took a little internal debate. Ultimately, he was personally against the way the bill was written. Nobody should tell businesses how to operate, and insurance companies should operate as they see fit. Also, this was a heavily Democratic-backed bill with only partial GOP support.

On the other hand, he’d be painted as anti-mental health for going against this. Considering the passage of cannabis decriminalization, and this bill’s provisions for those struggling with substance abuse disorders, it would appear responsible to pass a bill to help with that issue.

In this case, Doc chose optics over personal biases and signed the bill into law.

SB44- Provide process to hold patients harmless from balance billing by air ambulance

Stephens chuckled. The legislature was bound to set him on a course to clash with insurance companies. Oh well, it’s their bill, he thought.

This was another time where Doc didn’t like the decision he was going to have to make. He took a sip of his whiskey, then lit the cigar. It was never a good thing to tell insurance companies, or any companies how to do their business. But air ambulances, life flights, are essential to savings lives in rural Montana, especially for many farmers and hunters and fishermen, much of his voter base. He thought back to what he told his son, that saving lives was the number one goal as a politician. He picked the pen back up and signed the bill.

Jeez I’m getting soft... he thought, three bills in and not a single veto.

SB337- Eliminate board of environmental review

An attempt to gut the state’s authority to asses environmental damages, Stephens wanted no part in this. Montana, he thought, was already easy on businesses as far as the environment goes, and this did very little for deregulation or decreasing spending while cutting out a completely fine program. He vetoed this bill.

HB433- Prohibit condemnation of agricultural water

This bill was actually a pretty good one. The farmers and ranchers would love it, as it prevented towns, counties, and the state from using eminent domain to eliminate agricultural water rights. He signed the bill into law.

HB367- Create voluntary hunting license check-off for predator management

A voluntary $1 donation opportunity offered to hunters when they purchase hunting licenses to help with predator management. A big win for ranchers whose livestock are threatened by wolves, a big win for big game hunters because it helps fund predator research allowing for better management, and a big win for Doc, because it’s voluntary and not a tax. He signed the bill.

HB262- Generally revise concealed carry regulations for legal gun owners

Also a quality piece of legislation, this prevented concealed carry permit holders from being prosecuted for having a concealed weapon when arrested for unrelated crimes. Doc signed this as well.

HB266- Authorize interstate healthcare compact

This bill allowed for Montana to be part of an interstate agreement on healthcare, which is great for the free market. Doc signed this into law

Doc was surprised. You’d think this Republican-led Legislature would at least have a few bills for him to veto. He definitely wouldn’t beat his record this year. He found one worth vetoing though.

SB129- Require insurance coverage of teledentistry

Doc felt like now was the time to make up for the restrictions put on insurance companies by a couple of other bills, so he vetoed this bill too.

Now, it was on to the bills he had a hand in making.

HB668- Montana Cannabis Decriminalization and Exploratory Legalization Act

HB702- Montana Agricultural Community Revitalization Act

SB691- Instituting School Vouchers for Private, Home, and Alternative Schooling

He signed all three bills, and though he didn’t like the homeschool provision of the final bill, he was happy to fulfill a promise he had made to the State Senate Majority Leader.

Doc finished the whiskey and the cigar, signed and vetoed a few more bills, and then went home for an afternoon nap.

Troy isn't just in bed with the "Progressives" against American and Christian values, but now he's trying to be as Communist as Joh Stansky! Wilson wants it to be illegal to work unless the government gives you permission! He would sacrifice all our liberties on the altar of big government.

“Very well,” replies the marshal, taking a hold of Kramer’s cuffs and leading him to the Starbucks. The officer orders a cold brew and a breakfast sandwich, and then allows Kramer to order as well.
