Bill: Industrial and Economic Localization (2602)

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.

Description[?]:
| Once again, local governments are best equipped to deal with the economic issues which have the most impact on their particular situations. In some places where there may be little sunlight during the Winter but excessive amouns during the Summer, for example, working hours may need to change with the seasons for greatest efficacy. The federal government is unable to efficiently and fairly cope with such situations, but local governments are ready and eager to do so. |

| Message | The only downsides to this bill, as we see it, are the local governments deciding stock exchange legality and the industrial hemp legality. In truth, both of these have more national resonance in that they provide all of Sekowo with a firm foundation upon which to proceed into the future. While this is normally not how we would prefer to vote, we cannot support the bill. |
| Date | 01:28:06, July 07, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Industrial and Economic Localization (2602) |
| Message | Article 1: CP is indifferent to daily hours as each has benefits and drawbacks. Article 2: CP is not confident energy should be localized. Article 3: CP, for the time being, would prefer industrial hemp being left alone. Article 4: CP supports the prostitution article. Article 5: CP does not want stock exchanges to disappear. We strongly oppose. Overall, CP will oppose. |
