With 3 Ayes, and 1 Nay, the amendment passes.

The Assembly will now vote on the final text.  This vote will last 24 hours, or until all members have voted.

I get this is a game, but you guys don't even want to simulate fiscal responsibility. Teachers unions would be crying foul at this bill, property owners would freak out because it means school districts have to raise property taxes. I understand you want to fund it in the budget your currently working on, but stand alone, this would never pass IRL.

Inpersonating what would happen in real life is not at all the point of this game...

At least certainly not in this point if its existence.

The games goal is to create a simulation. Simulations are supposed to reflect some element of reality. If you want to play in fantasy land, create rules and Constitutions, but as soon as someone asks about fiscal responsibility in fantasy land --you completely ignore the question.

So you have maybe 75,000 kindergarten teachers who need to become fluent in the next year or else be replaced.  So I'm guessing we're talking $400 million or so for that, plus another $200 million for new instructional materials.   

You can expect a hell of a lot of pushback from the private schools on this.

The private schools section is one that was kind of ignored during the debate. Honestly, I think it will create unnesecary backlash. I'll look into amending it.

So was the budget, but lets just ignore all the important questions.
