Bill: The Museum Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: DOLGARIA NATIONAL PARTY {DNP}
Status[?]: defeated
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: July 3828
Description[?]:
| Currently the national government provides local governments with the funding to operate museums. However we believe the tax payer should not have to subsidize museums and thus here at Choice, we want the funding and organisation of museum's to be left to the private sector, this is kinder on the tax payers wallets. |

| Message | We disagree with this. Handing over historically or culturally significant artifacts, documents, or displays to the public sector and expecting them to display them in a "regulated," neutral environment would not end well. We don't disagree that there is an inherent bias with allowing governments to operate them at all, which is why we delegate the responsibility to several lower governments (provinces and municipalities) with less overall responsibility. |

| Message | Actually that's a fair point. We're going to do something we've never done and vote against our own bill. |
