Congress Life, so far.

I'll keep this one short and sweet - I've been voting for each proposal as it comes up - there hasn't been any real dissension, and the proposals aren't controversial.
For those who dont know, each congress person gets to propose 2 laws/changes each month, so we have a total of 20 things we can propose. Greyhunter, as CP, can propose more/different things than we can as congresspersons.
I used one of my proposals at Lazer_Fazer's request (he's the minister of finance - the budget guy) to move some 2100 ARS from the country accounts to the RBSA so that we could convert them into usable gold/ZAR. So I still have one left. I expect that we'll be using most of the congress proposals to change taxes and the like - we need to ensure a steady revenue stream for the government. Please comment on the proposals in the National Assembly part of the forums - its the best way to get your voice heard.
Or send me a PM here or in the forums.

what is the situation with citizenship passes? do we have enough to give them out to people coming back from the diaspora?
@ari - each congress person has 7 passes this month. Our intelligence apparatus is checking people as fast as they can. We have started to accept requests, but the process is slow.
I really like these report backs, and the fact you respond to people's queries in the comments.
Nice work Congresswoman!
I agree with Hamilton.
I'm glad my vote counted.
Congressmen, more reports like this, please! It's good to know what happens in politics from the news, not only from the eSA forum.
@hamilton: Congress"man" but thanks. lol. and since you guys voted me in, I owe you at least this much. 🙂
@nosferatu: all the votes counted. We managed to get 9/10 congresspersons voted in. And missed the 10th by one vote or so.
@fre😛 Just doing my job. I take the responsibility seriously. I feel like a lot of people are counting on me to at least show up and vote. 😛 Not good enough for me. I try to read everything posted in the forums, even if I dont respond.
