| Message | Kevin, man, better look at what Evan's about to do! *The Homies of the Senate laugh for a few seconds.* The Brotherhood of Homies is proud to announce that Kevin Zimmerman, the Minister of Education and Culture, who oversees nurseries and institutions of higher education here in Cobura, working within the bounds of this new legislation, will make sure that the poor of Cobura do not get thrown under the bus education-wise. *applause from the gallery and fellow Homies breaks out* In addition to all government nurseries being transferred to non-profit entities, Minister Zimmerman will make sure that the 'certain amount' of subsidy provided to students will be enough to where it doesn't matter if you're filthy rich or dirt poor, if you've got the smarts, you'll have a shot! Because of this, there will be no cuts in the budget to Education and Culture, as much as we know our opposition is salivating over the prospect of that budget being slashed. - Tyrone "Dawg Pen" Taylor Member of the Praetorian Senate of Cobura |
