| Message | NO The national government shoul provide local governments with funding to operate libraries. Cant just leave it up to the local government without support. And article 3 I dont agree with... Giving the Local Government to much power over things will distract them from main issues like Education and Security... And there own economy. Change those or I will change my vote to NO |

| Message | It still looks like a yes vote and given this bill has been put to vote, I doubt they'll be changing anything. |

| Message | To UIF: Sorry, we don't think so. If there were a bill providing local governments with raising certain taxes I would propose it, too. I still think that local governments can provide the best service. |
