Bill: Budget proposal of May 4269 : Republican Late Stage Amendments
Details
Submitted by[?]: Baltusian International Democratic Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 4270
Description[?]:
| Congress, I am delighted to announce the Republicans plans for the budget this term. Recent tax reductions and spending revisions have allowed us to have an excellent budget surplus. We can now use this to increase funding in three crucial areas: Justice - additional courtrooms and judges. Health and Social Services- brand new hospitals and increased staff. Foreign Affairs - more aid for countries in need. So, the Baltusian Republican Party propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Baltusia. Bradley White Internal Affairs Secretary Baltusian Republican Party |

| Message | Members of Congress, Five billion dollars will not fix our crumbling health service! We recognise this as a step in the right direction, but it is less than a tenth of what is necessary! Flossie Hambleton Finance Spokesperson of the Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia |

| Message | Members of Congress, I don't disagree that we need even more funding, however, restructuring and funds must be implemented at a reasonable pace. If it is a step in the right direction, and noting that we plan to fund the BHS in the future even more - why don't the SSPB Congresspeople vote alongside us?
