“We have to do this to save our savings!”
The Surplus Budget
Proposed by Liberal Union · Passed 27 Jun 2023
Rationale
This budget builds upon the NLFD budget just passed, and through this we can get back into a surplus, and make sure we never go back into debt, without increasing taxes
Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
