· Passed 5 Aug 2021
Voters requested that we increase business subsidies, so that is what we did. We are not happy about having to divert funds from more important issues, but if that is what the people want, so be it. On behalf of the people, I ask that you approve this proposal! Sincerely, Rupert Richardson, Minister of Finance
