Bill: Education & Culture Reform 4116
Details
Submitted by[?]: Baltusian Republican 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: August 4117
Description[?]:
| Two Small articles we found demand changing. To Article 1: We think it is disastrous that our children have to endure such things at school? Who would want to go to school if there is the danger to get hurt if you only laugh for example? To Article 2: Some local governments can not afford to open up libraries even if they wanted to. The communities could not endure such budget cuts they would have to make to allow them to open up Libraries. We suggest that this only applies to Local governments which can not afford to fund it. Lucius Tankstelle, Ministry for Culture & Education |

| Message | Although I can see the merits for and against Article 1 I totally agree with Article 2 and so will vote Yes. But it may mean shifting some of the savings the Health Secretary has made to Education to fund this. |
