Might as well introduce this before I leave office since I supported it in the first place.

Amendment to Allow the Senate to Set a Minimum Wage

Might as well use the liberal Senate to do something usefull.

Well in reality the U.S. now has this and I like the idea so I think Atlasia should have it as well.

Country of Origin Bill

1. All stores that sell fresh produce in Atlasia shall be required to post the country of origin next to the price for these products.
