Details
Submitted by[?]: Edelweiss Party
Status[?]: passed
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: February 2164
Description[?]:
| Colleagues, In order to re-divide the powers of local and the national government we present our very first Act in the CdH's Unitarian Resolution. By this proposition we wish to rearrange several governemental powers in order to obtain a better policy in advantage of the Likaton citizens. Culture - All authorities concerning culture-policy should be an affair for the local governments as they have a better view on the needs of their citizens. Giving local authorities the power to determine museums&library policies gives them the possibility to let the several sectors work in a 'horizontal' and more efficiënt way as they can 'organize' and develop with mutual projects. Regards. |
