Message | Solentia is a welfare state, this legislation makes little sense. We should not undermine the common working class citizen, instead we should lift them up and help provide a quality life for them. Our budget is paying for all these services and is effectively giving excellent care to the populous. FIP Speaker Toby Majier |
