Released: 5 of February 2007Issue Name: Wow we've been busy!Official Links:TWP ForumsTWP’s Web SiteTWP SenateSenate Speaker Elections:The Senate has picked its speaker!The Senate Speaker Elections had the following candidates and the voting percentages:Enegro Montoya – 60.0%ZetaOne – 6.7%Clockwork Isle – 20%Ramaba – 13.3%Anarchy Wolf – 0.0%In the end the senate chose incumbent Enegro Montoya who has done a great job running the senate so far. Energro Montoya or EM as he is fondly called, not only keeps the queue in the senate moving smoothly, he also updates senator voting records regularly (a rather daunting task). The queue in the senate is a thread where everyone who wants to bring an item to the senate floor places a request and then the speaker will okay the request when the senate floor is ready.I send a congratulations out to EM!1st Ministers Appointments:The Senate approves appointments!First Minister, Shasoria, appointed the following people to the Council of Ministers:Minister of Foreign Affairs: North HarmoniaMinister of Defense: Indycar Racing Associate Justice: SchwarzchildThe Senate gave 100% approval to all three appointments!Safety Disclosure Act:Safety and Security Ensured?

In the end the senate voted 28.6% FOR and 71.4% AGAINST the act.T W P .com:The West Pacific’s Site!On the 2nd of February, myself (ZetaOne) officially opened (or you might call it a re-open since we had the site before) TheWestPacific.com for public use.
