Va Birodeo Herzenav e Edlervik,

 

We have just sat for a meeting of the Royal Duma where my government proposed a sweeping plan to fund the many sectors of our society. Sadly, the Opposition members failed to recognize the needs and concerns of you, the Haeseni People. Ever since I became Lord Palatine, my government has worked to deliver a plan that I set out in my first address. This minor set back in proposing an ambitious, progressive budget to give more money and resources will not set us back, but we will continue to push for what matters most in our society. 

 

Let me review what we had proposed. My plan called for a ten thousand mina increase in our spending. In this proposal, we gave the opportunity for honorable lords and Aldermen the chance to give to the people’s names more spending to the kingdom’s most important institutions. We had set out to increase funding for our infantry and cavalry by giving them the coin needed to keep up with a wartime demand. We proposed funding to continue the important work of the library and to promote access to reward scholars through the Royal Scholarship Act of 1710. We introduced money to increase labor and supplies to build Reza anew. We attempted to pass legislation to ensure a proper railway and better roads to our vassals was prioritized.

 

Unfortunately, the Opposition party has used their personal and selfish principle to vote against these much needed reforms and budgets. I urge the Haeseni people to see that this administration is doing more to feed their families, to ensure that they have a good home, and to know that our Brotherhood of Saint Karl is armed and respected. 

 

That’s what my premiership will continue to do. So help me GOD.

Martin Kortrevich, an Alderman present at the session and voted ‘nay,’ Remembers the duma session and his reason quite clearly – 

 

WE WANTED TO SPEND MORE! Particularly on the military.

Ilkazar shakes his head in shame! If the Lords didnt care for the library he had painstakingly spent time and his own money stocking with priceless knowledge, with few to no donations, the Lords would be at fault for Haense losing access to such knowledge, and the Lords will be the ones who would have to answer to such a heinous loss.

“Odd that the Lord Palatine would not mention his removal of the High Steward for voting against his bill,” Iver would muse, ”Such an abuse of powers dishonors what his late Majesty, King Marius II, established the Duma for.”
