Oil Spill Protection Act [Lazily Law'd]

[This user has not been convicted of 34 felonies]

I think this piece of legislation is actually really great and I'm glad it has been proposed, but my biggest problem is Section 3 Clause 1...I think the language should be changed to "In the event of an oil spill or another oil-related disaster, the oil and drilling companies in question shall be entirely responsible for the disaster and shall be largely responsible for cleanup, however, if Atlasian citizens wish to volunteer to assist cleanup efforts, they shall be allowed to do so." or something like that. Volunteerism brings people together

That's better

We should give incentive to companies that improve their environmental record year to year , maybe by offering a lower tax rate for better performance.

I think a specifically lower rate would be a potential administrative nightmare... perhaps a tax credit would be better.

Yeah, this. I'm in favor of lower taxation for all businesses, but I could be persuaded to support tax credits for more "responsible" companies.

Abstain.
