| Message | Mr Blowhart, These measures put in place are not to be a nuisance or hurt our economy. Rather, these measures are (unlike what you said) necessary in order to protect the well being of the public and, as a result, current legislation is in the public's interest. Whilst we understand your concerns, we ask of you to think about the many who are killed from pollution in Baltusia every year, something bound to get worse if we were to loosen restrictions. - June O'Briley, Environment and Tourism Secretary |

| Message | I understand your concerns Ms O'Briley but we need to find a balance between saving the environment and protecting the economy. The Highly restrictive standards that are in place right now (not my words but the words of the current law) are making it nearly impossible for businesses to be productive. Our economy will never grow if our businesses aren't given the right environment in which to flourish. Casper Blowhart |
