Bill: Weak Decentralization Bill (2515)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Normand Pluralist 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: May 2519
Description[?]:
| We believe that Sekowo should be decentralized as much as possible. Local and regional governments are better aware of their own needs and capabilities, as well as how best to address and support the local traditions and heritage of Sekowo's population in their area. We propose further supporting them to this end. In addition, localized government reduces bureacracy and consequently reduces government spending. |
