Why should we arbitrarily cut the credit by $250?

I didn't see any other suggestions. Figured proposing one would at least garner a response from the members.

Short of them actually posting their thoughts, I suppose the best way of gauging members' reactions would be a vote.

I'll object (I tend to favor Peri's idea anyway, but that is an amendment for another time).

I would personally prefer a flat payment at a lower amount to a lottery etc. with no guarantee.

In any case I ask that the House decide quickly on its course - this is an emergency bill after all.

The amendment fails.

Aye (1) - Razze
Nay (5) - MB, Harvey, Cao, Talleyrand, Deadprez
Abstain (2) - Lfromnj, Ishan
No vote (1) - Ninja

With that I'll motion for a final vote. 24 hours to object.

Oh good grief, I didn't see MB's motion. So much for my planned amendment. I do still have concerns about the cost of this general endeavor and remain much more in favor of the lottery proposal.

Nay.
