Just a quick update on what congress has been doing recently.

- An amendment to the constitution was voted down

- VAT was debated and changed.
Food - from 10% to 25%
Weapons - from 10% to 15%
Import for both was raised to 10%

- Welcome message was updated by the CP and passed by congress

- The list of MU's approved for funding was updated after the MU's seeking funding submitted their reports

- The MU Funding Act continues to be debated.

- An income tax raise is currently being proposed and should go to vote soon.

- In Closed Door Congress (CDC) congress, along with the executive, continue to debate our MPP and alliance situation

I would like to thank Bryan Alexander and SpockPQ for their work compiling and analysing the tax data so that we can make a more informed call on eCan's taxes

I was wondering what was happening.

Thanks for the update. I get the feeling that the Temporary Funding Act will be made a more permanent one, right? Sounds fine to me. Finding the sweet spot for VAT and then Income tax looks to be the more interesting side of Congress atm (without knowing about CDC stuff).
