Bill: Budget proposal of July 3497
Details
Submitted by[?]: The Liberal Pinks
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 not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 3498
Description[?]:
| While we understand the controversy with the use of land mines we find they are needed in certain areas in order to protect us against an invasion as Al'Badara goes into war once again and poses a threat to us once again. Where they will be used is very rarely and will be clearly marked. It is simply so nobody can invade us in certain areas we are weak and cannot afford to send patrols there. |
