| Message | This can lead to corruption wherein private corporations bribe officials to have the projects. The government can do this by itself. Senate Warden Margarette Wear |

| Message | But this helps the unemployed get work, while supporting the private sector. And the corruption only occurs if the government officials accept the bribes, something I assume the parties are above doing. |
| Date | 02:54:54, October 28, 2012 CET | From | United Labor Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Public Work Projects |
| Message | The workers are more likely to get employed by the government funding a program then private money-hungry employers making workers live in poverty. We decline this proposal. |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
