Details
Submitted by[?]: Zhtál-Merlkai Tjarziprta
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: February 4623
Description[?]:
| Members of the Grand Council, Following on from our proposals to reduce government spending in certain areas based on the selling off of services and industries nationalised under the communist regime, we propose to allow private companies and contractors to buy a stake in the following transport and infrastructure sectors to run some parts or all of them, under government regulation. This will raise extra revenue for the government coffers, allow us to keep taxes for wage earners, consumers and businesses low and redirect surplus funds towards areas in which the government has a direct stake such as defence, health and welfare and education. Jazir Jebrsme Dunkáraky Minister of Infrastructure and Transport |
