Bill: Budget proposal of May 3149
Details
Submitted by[?]: Coalition for National Unity [CNU]
Status[?]: defeated
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 not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 3150
Description[?]:
| The National Unionist Rally propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Federal Republic of Solentia. "The NUR makes this case in order to begin the process of addressing the budget defecit. We find that an increase in health and education spending, the maintainance of Military spending and the overall decrease in net spending is in the best Solentian interest. Additionally, an increase in taxation for corporations and on luxery goods will allow for less income tax increases and reckless VAT increases proposed in the last set of budgets by the opposition." - Oliver Gardiner, Secretary of State for Finance and Economics |

| Message | The halving of the Infrastructure & Transportation budget is likely to devastate the Ministry's operations and will usher in huge cuts and lay-offs. I ask that this titanic slash in spending be reviewed before the budget be pushed into law. Thank you for your time and consideration. Infrastructure & Transport Minister Heath Selieu |
