The County Board of Legislators

Have you ever wondered what you do in being a legislator? Well, then read more on my blog post. It is all about what we did on our field trip in being a legislator, and what we really enjoyed. If you want to learn more, keep reading my blog post! 

Two things I learned about the legislative branch of county government was we learned how to discuss a bill and vote on a bill. One reason why I liked discussing a bill is that first we were all debating on the same thing which was a bill so we can all share our opinions. We were discussing school uniforms for the bill with chair Lucy being our chairperson. She let us speak one by one. I said “They do not need to be wearing school uniforms because they can express what they like, not what other people like”. Sometimes it was hard to debate but most of us found a way to express what we think on what it should be. Another thing was voting on a bill we discussed on junk food. After we finished debating we all had to vote on if they should ban junk food. We could say Yes, No, Yea, and Nea most of us said nea but there is a balance to all of the junk food.

The Two things I enjoy the most of taking the role of the legislative is participating in the role of debating in the conference room and participating in being in the chamber of being a legislator. One reason why I like being a legislator and debating in the conference room was because at first we all started to discuss the school uniforms and taking turns to speak when chair Lucy called on us legislators. It was really cool seeing the conference room and fun! After chair Lucy called on all of us we all discussed and debated on it like we were actually in a real meeting with real stuff they have to debate on. I really liked being in the conference room. It was really fun! Also another thing why I really like being a legislator was because at first we got in the chamber and discussed as a real legislature. We were debating about junk food. Chair Dean called on us to speak. We spoke in these microphones to project our voices. It was really cool. We are all debating on something different like yea and nea on junk food. I think it was really cool seeing what a real legislature does. I think being a legislator is a hard job but it is also really fun being in the role of the legislator in the chamber and the conference room.

Overall, the two things I learned in the legislative branch of this county was to discuss a bill and vote on a bill. They were both fun to do. I also like sharing my opinion on two reasons why I liked taking the role of the legislative which was  debating in the conference room and being the role of the legislative in the chamber. Have you ever been a legislator?
