Lieutenant Governor Noah Wade's Full Speech

 

Lieutenant Governor Noah Wade: Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests. Chief Burke, Governor Brandt, District Attorney Harper, and everyone else. Thank you for your attendance. As I stand here today, having taken the oath of office administered by our very own Chief Justice Jones, to serve as your 50th Lieutenant Governor, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and responsibility.

 

It is an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with the duty of serving the people of this state, and I pledge to fulfill that duty with unwavering commitment and integrity.

Tonight, as I take on this new role, I am reminded of the many individuals who have served our states before me. They were men and women of vision, courage, and determination who worked tirelessly to make our state a better place for all its citizens. They believed in the ideals of democracy, freedom, and justice, and they fought to uphold those values even in the face of adversity.

 

It is our turn to carry on that legacy. We are the inheritors of a great tradition, and we must continue to build upon it with the same passion and dedication as our forefathers.

Now! I know there are some folks out there who want to tear us down. Tell us we're not good enough. They want to tell us that we're too divisive, too partisan, too whatever. But let me tell you something: they're wrong! We're Americans, and we don't back down from a challenge.

 

As your Lieutenant Governor, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our state remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for all its citizens. I will work to promote economic growth and job creation. To provide better education, and to safeguard the rights and safety of all our citizens. But more than anything, I will work to strengthen the bonds that hold us together as people.

 

For our strength as a nation lies not in our individual accomplishments, but in our ability to come together as one people, united in our love for this great land. So let us pledge ourselves today to the ideals of patriotism. To the values of democracy, and to the principles of freedom and justice that have made our nation great. Let us work together to build a brighter future for our children and grandchildren, and let us never forget that we are all Americans, united in our love for this great country, and the ideals for which it stands for. Ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor to have you all here tonight, and I personally thank you all for witnessing this moment. Thank you all, and God bless America and the State of San Andreas.

Above is the patriotic speech given by the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor Noah Wade who was sworn in officially on the 28th of February in the Senate Chambers, San Andreas State Capitol. Chief Justice Morgan Jones was present to administer Governor Wade's oath of office.

 

 

 

Over the last month, Governor Wade has become increasingly more visible in the public eye, releasing public statements and personally attending disasters such as the wind farm fire and dam fire where he ordered the evacuation of nearby residential areas in Mirror Park. Following recent events, Governor Wade posted on Facebrowser that he was honored to have been chosen to serve as the 50th Lieutenant Governor of San Andreas State and that the ceremony would take place prior to the senate session on the 28th. Governor Wade prides himself in his steadfast values, patriotism and fearlessness as an American and vowed not to be swayed by recent events. Prior to his appointment he had released a public statement calling The Chosen One the "Morse Code Moron" and a lunatic, stating that "...we will not be intimidated by cowardly actions. We will remain steadfast and united, and we will prevail over this individual." This came as a loud and clear message to The Chosen One from Governor Wade.

 

 

Shortly following the senate session, the Capitol was evacuated by PD Metro following a bomb threat that was confirmed to be under Governor Brandt's car shortly after, The Chosen One's answer to Governor Wade's statement. Following this a $150,000 assassination order was released by TCO aimed at Wade and his family, to which Wade posted a Facebrowser message saying "Trust the process. #Only150K" which some have seen as a brave stance, while others consider it to be needlessly endangering his family. Since then Governor Wade has put a $300,000 bounty on The Chosen One for any information leading to the identification or apprehension of who he calls "The Morse Code Moron" The back and forth begins a dangerous game within the city of Los Santos (read more about it here).

The Senate session immediately following Governor Wade's swearing in became a heated debate. With the recent wind farm incident still fresh in everyone's minds, a resolution "

To commend the actions of not only firefighters related to the windmill incident but also firefighters all across our State of San Andreas." was introduced by Senator Rossi and cosponsored by Senator Brandenburg. Above in the gallery, San Fire who had assisted largely in the rescue of the downed firefighters was in attendance. Senator Rossi presented his resolution, saying that "...this resolution seeks to not only commend and honor our injured firemen at our unfortunate fire at the windmills out in the County, but this resolution also seeks to also honor public service men and women, and to raise awareness for conditions. One of these conditions is the requirement for more fire prevention needs out in our counties and industrial zone." One such issue that the fire department faced during the Senora wind farm fire was that there were not accessible water resources nearby, the resolution acknowledges this.

 

The resolution unanimously passed the committee vote on the 14th of February, however Senator Giraldi had not been present for the vote. He then became the only nay vote on the 28th as he heavily opposed the introduction of the resolution. A move some considered 'being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian' while others appeared to be considering what he had to say.

 

He began his opposition by saying "I find myself, as I speak, starting to walk a very dangerous path. But it is one I am willing to walk, as to oppose bills and resolutions based only in populism." He claimed to have the highest of respect for first responders, but found the resolution being introduced for the two firefighters injured at the wind farm "offensive".

 

The basis of his argument was that he believed Republican senators to be using the injury of two firefighters for personal clout and to save face. He stated that it was being painted as a unique event, when in fact responders are injured and killed regularly and receive no such resolutions. He made reference to the fallen Los Santos Fire Department Captain, Lucas Morel, who gave his life in the line of duty and mentioned that there was no resolution for him either. "This is nothing but a resolution to save face, Senator Rossi. Save face for your party, with an astonishing majority.  This resolution has nothing of what you spoke. This doesn't grant funds for new hydrants. This doesn't provide the LSFD or any other agency with more equipment, tools." Senator Giraldi stated whilst raising the resolution document above his head. "This is populism. This is not for the firefighters. This is for you and for your party."

 

 

Senator Brandenburg was the first to be granted time in response to Senator Giraldi's opposition, stating that he didn't "...even know where to begin" as he'd expected the Democrat side to understand the resolution. He called out the Democrat party on their lack of resolution for the events for August 27th, stating that Giraldi has just as much means to submit resolutions as the rest of the senate. He referred to the opposition as "the political games of the Democrats"

 

To respond to Giraldi's claims of the resolution having no real benefit for the fire department, Brandenburg asserted that the republican party had begun correspondence with "...the competent authorities in order to improve the fire prevention in the State and to increase the number of fire hydrants across the whole State" and by doing so, stated that they were not only honoring the injured firefighters but making their jobs easier in the future.

 

Brandenburg concluded his time by saying he was disappointed that instead of making this "...a bipartisan effort for our first responders, the Democrat side chooses to pick old bones and looks for the needle in the haystack, focusing on political strife instead of what's important"

 

 

Senator Rossi was recognized for time next and backed up Brandenburg, stating quickly how appalled he was by the claims and that the resolution "isn't politics. This is being responsible, and this is being a human being" he demanded that Giraldi turn and face and tell the public and present service men and women that he did not support their recognition and did not support the senate passing a resolution in their honor.

 

 

Senator Giraldi did stand up and face the gallery, asking first the LSPD where their resolution was when they were shot during a traffic stop. Then he asked the Park Rangers where their resolution is when they're injured protecting state parks. He then addressed the State Fire Marshals and asked them where their resolution was when they inhaled toxic fumes. "I am sure each and every single one of you has lost at least one colleague on the line of duty. And he had NO resolution."

 

He vowed that he would not "...let the republicans weaponize [them]" nor would he sit silent, making mention of all those who did not have a resolution because Senator Rossi, in Giraldi's words, "...didn't fancy visiting them at the hospital" Giraldi demanded, while speaking out of turn, that Rossi face the public and speak just as he had done.

 

 

Rossi did not face the public but had strong words for Giraldi. "I've served many years in the Los Santos Police Department. I served up to the rank of sergeant. Don't you ever question what intentions I have with' something' like this. Ever. Again." He brought up the two times that Giraldi had been removed from committee sessions before and that debates should be had on Giraldi's own time, apologizing to spectators who had to hear the debate.

Harsh remarks were made during the voting process and then the session moved on to bill number 106, introduced by Senator Luca Giraldi "A Bill meant to correct the mistake of forgetting Vespucci Promenade private property owners in the former VB-MVR ACT" having found that certain private property can only be accessed via the Vespucci Promenade and this was not mentioned in the former VB-MVR ACT. The amendment called for would allow motor vehicles owned by any owner of private property that can only be accessed along the Vespucci Promenade to do so, though not at speeds higher than thirty miles per hour except where an emergency may be occurring. The bill passed the final vote unanimously. The building was evacuated minutes following this due to the bomb planted beneath Governor Brandt's vehicle.

Comment: I am very Conservative, but Giraldi raised some good points. Why is it that it requires actual terrorism to devise resolutions, instead of everyday occurrences? Politicians have been weaponizing off of terrorism since 9/11, and it seems like policies, whether foreign or domestic, are only ever enacted when it revolves around such. Can the Republican opposition, who I've supported on a state level, list times where similar propositions were enacted when cases did not involve terrorism?

Comment: I still wonder how the people elected Giraldi and voted for him as a Senator representing the Democratic Party. It's a shame like.. Isn't he the same person who called them Republicans 'fascists' while in a sensitive position, yet now he's asking for their respect and them to listen to him?
