SENATE BILL: Pacific Emergency Stimulus (Law'd)

[Talleyrand]

Why not make this conditional upon the passage of a new constitution and some structural reforms in the Pacific government (such as fixing that ridiculous Council situation)? It may very well be a good idea to put the region's elections in the hands of an appointed administrator until we declare this state of "emergency" to be over (I suppose Oakvale's position could work for this role, or someone else could be asked to do it).

Dumping money at the issue isn't going to work when the regional government, for better or worse, is inept and feeble. It might bring down unemployment in the short run, but such improvement will just fade completely once the money stops pumping in, and we don't need the federal government to permanently subsidize 1 region while ignoring 4 others.

I would rather dispose of the committee idea- with few exceptions, these have proven to be unfruitful, slow, and bureaucratic in this game, and I would rather have some sort of swift execution with specific guidelines provided by the Senate in this bill.

[Talleyrand]

Would anyone else be in favor of getting rid of the committee and putting this in the hands of one person, with oversight from the Senate? Committees tend to be useless bureaucracies in Atlasia that are usually incapable of getting any actual work completed.

Yankee, could we get an updated version of the bill? I'm not entirely sure where the text stands now.

[Talleyrand]

Tally, should we amend that to specify who the Managing Director is? Something like stating he/she is appointed by the President and accepted by the region? Just in case Oakvale disappears, so it will be easier for me to appoint someone else? I know I am being overly cautious here but I think we may as well clarify in the text.

I accidentally deleted my first post, so apologies for that, but would this cover that issue?
