| Message | It is not the subsidization of public transport which is unnecessary, but removing subsidization for those currently using it. If the Republicans think that more money is necessary for other important sectors then perhaps they should consider raising corporation tax from the measly 28% it is at now. Philippa Carter (Spokesperson for the Secularist, Socialist, Party of Baltusia and soon-to-be Minority Speaker) |
| Date | 23:38:48, May 12, 2017 CET | From | Baltusian Democratic Green Party (BDGP) | To | Debating the Partial Public Transportation Subsidisation Act 4209 |
| Message | The BDGP believes that this proposal has economic sense but will still allow the poorest in society the ability to travel unhindered. Might I ask Mr Morton how much money this change could save? Harriett Miller Finance Secretary |
