*Cato the Younger walks in the senate with the senators appluading him*

*He bows*

Thanks you Senators for voting me Senior Consvl.
And thank you Ceasar for giving me such a hard time in the elections, it was quite an exciting election period.

during my time as consvl i wish to complete what the senate wishes, i am willing to work with both of the parties, i will press for peace but if needed i will use the optimate sword to destroy the enemies of rome!

I want to complete Mining Operations in Arretium and Croton to lean off of the taxes shoulder a little bit, I want to get trade agreements with everyone in greece, if we cant own thier wealth we might as well trade for it. I Also wish to expand the Republic into the Po Valley.

It would help our farming production and more jobs and land for the poor and hungry.

Thank you Senators once again for voting me Consvl.

OCC: i like the picture is that the Cato guy in the Rome Series?

Closed, as the Magistrate election has not yet taken place.

Reopened with the closing of the election. You can find the old Cvria in the senate records here.

[Marie Louise von Preussen]

Senators, with the recent reserves of cash at record levels in our treasury, I would like to propose a massive infrastructure program, now that we are at peace. Discuss.

[68 Powers]

*Cato the Younger walking into the senate hall getting ready to sit in his chair says*

You plans Senator? and would the senate like a report about the current state of the republic or all we all well informed?

[Winter]

What sort of infrastructure? May I remind you that we are inundated with building, I believe we have farms to build after the military infrastructure. I would support port and market infrastructure.

I would like a military report on each separate legion, as well as reports on the buildings in each city. (This would be the Censors job, but since we don't have one...)

[68 Powers]

Seince we have no censor. i will do that for you senator.

OCC: i see wode viewing. would he want to be censor?

[Marie Louise von Preussen]

Senators, we have about 80000 denarii in our public reserves (read my reports).

[Marie Louise von Preussen]

Any sort of infrastructure must do. We have cash, and we don't know how to spend it; that's the main point of this proposal. But I would like to put my priority on farms and on the military for now. And highways, if we can build any.

[We shall fwee...Wode]

I will support the expansion of our infastructure. Is there anything that needs urgent construction? I know we are building mines, but what else? I propose if there are slots, to make Markets and forums throughout the republic.

I will also like to propose the motion to move 2400 colonia each from Rome and other allied cities to Tarentum and Croton, but first, I would like to know what the population of Tarentum and Croton, so that we do not put too much strain on the cities.

[Winter]

Alright here's a motion for consideration once we have PS

" Increase the market infrastructure in each city with a trader to a market, and each city with a market to a forum. In cities with no trader, one should be built and upgraded to a market."

I'm provisory PS, still, because Skan didn't return yet. But I also support upgrading our farming infrastructure where it can be done. And highways near Rome, too.

[Winter]

We still have a bill passed on farming infrastructure that needs action. It was not reported in the PS thread, but i could dig through the old curia if you want. Or you could, since your PS pro tem...

I think the censor decided to put it off for a while as the bill allows him to do.

ooc: woo 1,000th post 6 posts ago!

We could just merge this into a huge infrastructure bill, of course, then put it to vote.

Anyway, we need also to know all the detailed costs about our operation. Then I'll propose the motion.
