(PASSED) Appeasing the Plebs

[Magicman2051]

1. Latium is to be exempted from tax this fiscal year to ease the burden on farmers and encourage trading and growth.

2. The Senate shall fund the construction of an Agrarian Academy in Rome, the intention of which is to explore and improve farming methodologies as well as train highly skilled slaves and workers for seasonal farm work, ensuring that we have a surplus of experienced farm hands in time of war.

The cost for the construction of the Academy is 50,000 however the following Senators have pledged funds towards its creation.

• Aulus Ovidius - 6,000
• Lucius Amelius - 4,000
• Aulus Terentus - 10,000
• Lucius Titus - 4,000
• Aulus Junius - 3,000
• Gaius Marius - 3,000

The contributions total 30,000, the remaining 20,000 will be paid from the Treasury.

[Pontifex Maximus]

worth +1 populist point

[Pontifex Maximus]

I, II, III, IV, V, VI Italia will be untaxed next turn. (5,600 denarii worth of revenue)

I was waiting until it formally passed before changing the Tax Income, but I'll get on that now as it seems to be going well... I mean, badly.

Everyone who has kindly chosen to donate funds, remember to adjust your personal treasury total to reflect your contribution

[Caesar's Heir]

I almost forgot!

[Magicman2051]

Still waiting on the donation from Aulus Junius (Lanthe) before this passes.

[Lanthe]

Ah, I was waiting it to pass before I make my donation.

[Magicman2051]

This has pretty much passed at this stage, I'm just waiting for the voting to close in case people who have missed it want their free populist point.
