Bump.

Bump.

This is still waiting for the GM but there's a major backlog atm. Patience is virtue.

I'm not being impatient at all. Rather, I'm bumping them so that we can find the threads.

Well anyway, once Truman costs the Budget I'll introduce my amendment. I don't want to cut too much or too little, after all.

Is it something that'd require the GM? I don't like bugging the GM department too often. There's a few things that need to be ironed out that I'm unsure why they weren't in the previous year surplus.

Well, I would like to know the full figures for the current version of the budget before amending it.
I don't want to cut taxes too much, otherwise we won't have any money for all the dams and roads and airports and railways and subways and metros and buses and irrigation schemes and trams and so on that I want to build. Particularly the Dams.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Bump.
(Seriously, can the GM's department please cost this already)

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Maybe can we table this bill or something until the GM's office gets its act together?
Given they've had almost 4 months to cost this.

[AustralianSwingVoter]

Maybe you can take this time to work on numbers to fund basic government functions like education and pensions, something every regional budget since the beginning of this game has done. Months later, this budget continues to be completely unrealistic.

Actually quite a good point, thank you Mr. Governor.
Mr. FM, it does seem like this budget is short on details on reflection. As Governor TM says, no funds are enumerated for Education, Pensions, bureaucracy, and a good many more vital functions of regional governments.
