Bill: DSPB.0198.2790 Infrastructure
Details
Submitted by[?]: BDSP un Beys fun Yisserles-Binyomen
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: March 2791
Description[?]:
| My reasoning: Article 1, in case of a power outtage for one region the other regions should be ready to supply it's power. Article 2, in case of a massive fire we should be able to dispatch fire-fighting equipment nationally. Also, what happens if a fire happens next to a border, a fire truck on one side may not be allowed to cross the border. Article 3, we need a policy on highway infrastructure. Articles 4 & 5, the people should not have to pay for communications services out of their own pockets. Article 6, we need a policy on public works. -Her Holy Majesty Hava Elisheva I, HaMalka and Nesi HaMedina Hadash |
