| Message | This bill will have our support. Stephen Lodamun PLUP President |
| Date | 06:50:41, January 08, 2016 CET | From | Liberal Progressive Alliance | To | Debating the CoS Alternative Budget: Restoring Reasonable Taxes to Lodamun (Part A.1) |
| Message | M. Speaker, If spending is to be cut, then I believe this is a sensible way to do it. I am pleased that the CoS is not cutting spending in Health or Education. Ideally we would have liked to see a cut in defense spending, but generally, we feel like this is a reasonable proposal, and we will support it. Brian Webb LPA Finance Spokesperson |
| Date | 06:55:28, January 08, 2016 CET | From | Lodamese National Democratic Party | To | Debating the CoS Alternative Budget: Restoring Reasonable Taxes to Lodamun (Part A.1) |
| Message | Mr. Speaker. We will oppose this once set upon vote. With our nation of 100 million there will be many losing out if this passes. Leaving health and education thinking this is the only thing the state needs to function is a joke. We oppose. Anne Zocker Deputy Leader of the LNUP |
| Date | 07:26:26, January 08, 2016 CET | From |  Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the CoS Alternative Budget: Restoring Reasonable Taxes to Lodamun (Part A.1) |
| Message | M. Speaker, We would prefer a cut to the Ministry of Justice, instead of cuts to Food & Agriculture, Environment & Tourism, and Trade & Industry. -- Sid Landau, GNRG Spokesman on Finance |
