Bill: Local Farm Subsidy Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Lodamun Distributionist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2417
Description[?]:
| The LDP believes that it is far more effective to allow local governments to control farming subsidies to low-income farming communities. Not only will this unravel the red tape inherent in national control of such subsidies, but we feel that it is much more likely that local governments will be better aware of the needs of nearby families and communities. It is in a local government's best interest, after all, to help their own area's farms quickly, efficiently and, most importantly, correctly. The LDP is resubmitting this proposal so that the debate can continue. The original bill was defeated at the last moment, with no explanation, by parties pledged to support it. We ask for a reversal of this mistake or an explanation of these actions. |
