Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we await further action from the President, Senate, and the Supreme Court regarding the despotic commandments of the Southern executive, the people of Lincoln are suffering a tremendous monetary setback. The price of gas has soared in recent days to unprecedented levels. Although I do expect this shall be resolved in due time, I would propose granting Lincolnites a one-time rebate payment of $300 to assist with their fuel payments. In addition, Section III of this bill will subsidize public transit and lean our region more aggressively toward EVs.

Finally, seeing as this program is only necessary due to the tyrannical actions of the Southern Governor, it is ultimately the responsibility of the South to reimburse the cost of the Emergency Petroleum Impact Act. Once all of this madness is said and done, it is my intent to petition the federal government to step in and assist with this aspect.

I am not having an independent nation pay for this.

If you want oil, you can sign a treaty with us. I am open to it.

With all due respect to you, your unprovoked aggressive actions, in particular the closing of pipelines leading to Lincoln, do not allow us to fully trust you in matters of cooperation.

You do not govern over an independent nation, so that will not be an issue.
