| Message | As a one-time cost including the bridge's construction cost shouldn't be included in the bill. It'll take six-billion crowns to build it, not 6 billion a year. The same with twenty-four billion to improve transportation infrastructure, unless the SPGH intends for yearly spending of 24 billion crowns for an indefinite period. |

| Message | I like this idea; is there a map that can be supplied with the proposed construction? I assume this bridge would pass by Rainer Island located in the middle of the Sea of Corina? |

| Message | Would Hulstria be interested in the Inter-Continental Commerce System? Link: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Inter-Continental_Commerce_System OOC: sorry to butt in. |
| Date | 21:43:53, November 18, 2009 CET | From | Verfassungs Unabhängigkeit Partei | To | Debating the Carina Gate Bridge Project Authorization Act of 2849 |
| Message | The VP also support this idea, but I would like to stress what the CLA has pointed out, is the proposed increase in budget for an indefinite time or just for the construction. |
| Date | 00:30:20, November 19, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Carina Gate Bridge Project Authorization Act of 2849 |
| Message | The SPGH has failed to address our concerns about nature of the increases. This project calls for one-off increases to the budget, yet the funds will be available year after year for an indefinite period. After the 6 billion is spent to construct the bridge, what will be done with the 6 billion given to the Ministry every other year? The 24 billion? The CLA supports the bridge and infrastructure development project of 30 billion crowns, we do not support a 30 billion permanent increase as the SPGH has outlined here. The SPGH has rushed this bill before it could be refined. The solutions would have been simple and easily to accomplish. |
