Commission of Inquiry

Dated 26th of October, 2020.

 

The Congress has received a complaint from the FBI in relations to matters surrounding the Governors possession of 3 counts of an assault rifle, contained within a case. The Governor was subsequently arrested pursuant to SA-PSC § V.2. Possession of an assault weapon or a sniper rifle.

 

The complaint that This Congress has received contained sufficient evidence to substantiate the bodily search conducted by the Police Department, as well as the footage pertaining to the seizure of the assault rifles in question. This Congress therefor deems there to be enough evidence to move forward with a Commission of Inquiry into the potential Impeachment of Governor Richie Kavanagh.

 

Due to members of Congress being out of state and unable to attend in person, this will be held in a virtual meeting room, held on the Government portal. This will be accessible for the general public to watch. The first hearing is due to begin at 18:00 CET on the 26th of October, 2020.

END-OF-WAR DECLARATION AGAINST THE FOREST BROTHERS RESISTANCE AND LIFT OF RESTRICTIONS

DATED NOVEMBER 26TH

 

The Congress of the United States publicly annouce to cease war efforts against the Forest Brothers Resistance.

 

Last night, November 26th, at approximately 2:35am, a Task Force assembled by the President carried a covert assault over a location tipped to be a hideout of the Forest Brothers Resistance's leadership - more speficially in a cabin in Shady Creek, heavily guarded.

 

After gunfire exchange that lasted approximately 15 minutes, all FBR members in scene were presumed seriously injured or dead, with no casualities from the Task Force side. After further identification on the bodies, Gustav Suits and Ats Kamm, leaders of the group, were identified to be amongst the men who resisted the assault and sustained deadly gunshot wounds. Both were rushed to the nearest specialized hospital, in Santa Flora, San Fierro. Gustav Suits was pronounced dead at 3:12am, Ats Kamm at 3:26am.

 

Following the successfully carried assault, our intelligence services affirm the group has now demobilized, and is no longer to be assumed as a threat to the region of Flint County or the State of San Andreas. It's remnant members are expected to go into hiding for now, and eventually reintegrate themselves with society.

 

In conclusion, the United States Congress, in conjunction with the Governor of San Andreas, find suitable to lift travel & movement restrictions in Flint County and demobilize war efforts, such as millitary personnel, equipment and expenditure, delegated personnel in intelligence services and SAPD's state of readiness.

 

In addition, the called regulation override on both FBI and SAPD's regulations regarding heavy weaponry usage, targetted at Flint County's region, is now declared null and void.

FORMATION OF FEDERAL AGENCY

DATED JANUARY 27TH

 

The Congress of the United States are excited to publicly announce the formation of a new Federal Agency, the National Road Safety Agency.

 

The State has been without appropriate Road Safety for a long time. The Federal Government were approached by an Agency who have dedicated their time to help out as civilians, and they have shown demonstrable good will and skills in this domain. They will form the national authority on Road Maintenance and Public Works. In order to support this agency, Federal Law Title XI has been drafted and ratified which covers their authorities and exemptions.

 

The State and Federal Government will be the primary contractors of this Agency, offering them work in exchange for funds, to ensure our road network is as safe as possible for our citizens.

 

This will take immediate effect.

IMPEACHMENT HEARING

DATED APRIL 12TH

 

The Congress of the United States initiated a vote to begin impeachment proceedings of the current sitting Governor at 19:30 on the 8th of April 2021. This vote passed with 7 votes yea and 2 votes abstaining.

 

These impeachment proceedings originated from allegations of foul play brought to This Congress surrounding the State Business Support Fund. It was alleged that the Governor had inappropriately used these funds on several businesses and negligently chose the candidates. This Congress was directly responsible to investigate these claims due to the nature of allegations involving several million USD of tax payer dollars.

 

A Federal Auditor was sent to investigate these claims to identify if the allegations held any weight. The results of this audit indicated the following:

• The Governor had logged a total of $16,000,000 in the State Funding logs
• The Governor had withdrew a total of $30,040,000 from the Government funds, leaving an unjustified spending total of $14,040,000
• The remaining $14,040,000 was allegedly spent in the following way:
  • $6,000,000 for the PD Academy refurbishment
  • $5,000,000 for 'Valrise Eye', an undocumented project
  • $1,500,000 in payments to The Governors' team for "staying all day to fix the tax system"
  • Any remaining money went "on the money for the fuel of govermant [sic] vehicles and repairing them"

These results prompted This Congress to conduct an immediate vote to begin impeachment hearings due to the extreme amount of financial incompetency and inappropriate spending, such as $1,500,000 on fuel and repairs. The citizens of this state trust the Government to use the taxpayers money for the benefit of the taxpayers, and to improve this great State. Here, this seems to fall short.

 

During the impeachment trial, The Governor can be seen to be combative, defensive, elusive and abrasive in his responses. Continually failing to provide accurate or justifiable reasons for his allocation of funding under the State Business Support Fund, as well as failing to identify where $1,500,000 was used. When questioned specifically on this point, The Governor responded that he was "not sure" and that he "possibly gave it to some group but forgot to note it down".

 

Throughout the impeachment trial, The Governor was asked to provide any documentation to support the funding of the chosen businesses, where their applications were, how the system was set up and how he chose which businesses received the funding. At all stages, The Governor was unable to provide accurate or reliable justifications and frequently referred to personal anecdotes instead of concrete documentation.

 

Following the questioning in the Impeachment proceedings, This Congress deliberated heavily on the actions of The Governor and whether or not they were suitable or fitting of the Governor of San Andreas. As of 21:00 on the 12th of April 2020, This Congress voted as below on the matter to Impeach Governor Yuri Morozov:

 

6 yea

3 abstain

 

This vote provides a 2/3rd majority, and the vote passes. With immediate effect, Governor Yuri Morozov is to be removed from the Office of Governor.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation will hereby be tasked with prosecuting Mr. Yuri Morozov for the missing $1,500,000.

 

This Congress is aware of the allegations that Mr. Morozov made surrounding the potentially already-picked replacement. However, these allegations are thwarted as the Republican Party won the last election, they will be responsible for finding an immediate replacement by holding a Primary Election as defined under USC Title III.

IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS

DATED AUGUST 13TH

 

The Senate of the United States received a worrying letter on the 13th of August, 2021. This letter detailed a story of incompetence, mismanagement and ineffectiveness of the current Executive Staff of the San Andreas Police Department. This Congress recognises that almost half of the current SAPD have signed their names on this letter. 

 

Due to the concern for our States' police force, including it's ability to protect and serve the citizens of this State, This Congress have no other option but to begin an Impeachment Hearing into current Chief of Police Shane Williams. The mere initiation of an Impeachment Proceedings does not reflect any guilt towards the accused, but allows This Congress additional powers to investigate the claims that have been made.

 

This Congress will now endeavour to schedule an appropriate time for a Hearing with relevant parties. This will be a public hearing given the nature of impact this may have towards the Citizens of our State.

IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS

RESOLUTION I

This Congress has reviewed all evidence provided to us in relation to H. RES 029, as well as both statements. We do not find it necessary to continue with any further rebuttals at this point in time. 

At this point in time, following on from further investigative actions, we do not find the necessity to issue an immediate Impeachment on Mr. Shane Williams.

 

We do acknowledge certain departmental concerns, however applying the blame to Mr. Shane Williams on these matters is irrational. The Chief of Police does entertain a level of responsibility for day-to-day actions of the department, but cannot realistically be expected to act at all levels. It has been identified that several of the issues discussed in the hearing are not a direct result of action or misjudgement from the Chief of Police.

 

This Congress also acknowledges a level of absence from the Chief of Police up until recent. We understand the reasoning for this activity, and understand that this will improve going forward.

 

We wish to make it clear again that the mere existence of a complaint does not indicate guilt. This Congress would have liked to have seen some evidence of official greviences being submitted through the appropriate channels, but also understand that may not have been possible previously. 

 

This Congress will not be resolving H. RES 029 on this day, but will be putting forth the following into action:

• A review period of 4 weeks, wherein Mr. Shane Williams' activity will be monitored to identify the level of active contribution
• A mandate that all complaints involving the Chief of Police follow this process: An official complaint must be submitted to IA. IA then have 14 days to process such complaint. If the complaint is not handled within that time, and no response has been given to indicate it's still actively being investigated, then a complaint must be raised with the board of Command Consultants. They may not issue any actions, but can give their collective (majority) recommendation to This Congress. Only when either of those two actions have happened may anyone submit an Impeachment Request to This Congress regarding the SAPD Chief of Police.
• No actions may be taken against those that initiated this proceeding, for the act of initiating this proceeding or as a result of this proceeding coming to light. We do not wish to discourage complaints coming forward.

 

H. RES 029 has been adjourned until 12th September 2021.
