Bill: Balancing the budget
Details
Submitted by[?]: Hete Brorskap
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2611
Description[?]:
Kazulia has been left with a budget deficit since the recent abolition of sales tax on essential goods. We therefore propose re-balancing our finances. The finance department has been targetted for cuts because it doesn't actually have to do very much, and is far too wasteful at the moment. Trade & industry is targetted because far too many subsidies are being handed out to inefficient, polluting industries. Alf Borghild (Chief Gothi of the Hete Brorskap) |

Message | I can understand cutting funding in trade and industry and in finance (although this particular cut is a bit drastic), however I don't understand why we should cut funding for science and technology. Nevertheless it is essential to re balance the budget and therefore I will support this |
