NE1: Free Enterprise Zones Act [Failed]

[Lincoln Republican]

This bill is a recipe for abuse and favortism.

The Northeast region has an obligation to treat all jurisdictions within the region equally, and this bill abrogates that responsibility.

Far too much power will devolve upon the Auditor General and, being cynical here, but could be open to corruption, read payoffs.

This bill is a train wreck waiting to happen.

I will oppose this bill.

[Lincoln Republican]

Nay

[Lincoln Republican]

Thank you Governor.

[Lincoln Republican]

This bill needs to be scrapped, period.

This bill is unnecessary, unworkable, and weakens the Northeast as a cohesive region. 

The proposal of a complicated system of referendums, which will only confuse voters, does nothing to improve this fundementally flawed bill.

[Lincoln Republican]

Nay
