Is it customary to capitalize the first letter after a hyphen in cases like these?
The Wiki
happens to use both. Hahaha.
I'm gonna need some serious convincing on this legislation, especially the billion dollar price tag.
I am quite the penny pincher myself, but we already offer loans to companies for various reasons so I don't see why examining a particular business model that could be more favorable to workers should be cast aside. $1 billion is not all that much in the grand scheme of things.
That said, I think we should limit this program to three years and require businesses accepting these loans to share their information with the DoIA so we can properly evaluate their economic potential. The ESOPs in the law I linked to are given tax breaks but that doesn't necessarily correlate to an increase in that business model. Perhaps we may need Gm Shua to provide some information about the prevalence of ESOPs compared to more "traditional" business models.
