Finally some promises a politician can hold!

VOTE FOR TOM, THE BEST CHUD IN ALL OF TUTUM!

ALEXANDRIA CURRENTLY LEADS 4-0 WHICH MEANS, ACCORDING TO BOBBLE LEAGUE RULES, THAT THEY HAVE A GUARANTEED WIN. MORE IN TOMORROW'S COURRIER!

It’s the 4th time. God this feels good to finally get well established in the political scene. Thank you so much. I was kinda scared that this would be the end for me, but once again I got your trust. For this 4th mandate, I will never give you up, let you down, run around or desert you. While the magnum opus of my 3rd term was the AAADLA, I will now work on something I love and that I always loved: trains.

I rarely got the possibility to express my love for trains, and the only time I could was on a very local scale. I’ve been thinking about since May actually, but due to a combination of events both IRL and IRP, I was unfortunately unable to write this bill. I also saw Restaurant’s RORA, which unfortunately hasn’t passed yet, and took inspiration for my bills.

Uhhh oké bayyyy

If I get YOUR trust once again, I'll do everything possible to upgrade trains in the DoR. VOTE FOR ME PLS

It was a pretty unusual day in the Easglas-Rijselberg Town Hall. Even though the 1st Regular Session of the People's Council had been going on for days now, today's session was not on the economy. After Comrade Tom arrived at the tribune of the council, he started the following speech:

COMRADES OF EASGLAS! I will be very straightforward: I'm going to ask for temporary extended powers for the Speaker to deal with the fires. This will include the right to pass motions strictly related to the wildfire problem, and I'll write a public record of every action I take related to this power. The elections of Thursday are NOT cancelled, and the sign-ups will start just after the emergency power vote starts.
If the motion passes and that any of the actions I take related to my extended powers are against the general will of the Easglasites, the Council can block my decisions by a simple majority. If I really go too far you can also obviously call a vote of no confidence against me. Thanks for your attention on this matter, and vive la commune!

We'll now proceed to the vote.

after 24 hours, the overwhelming majority of Rijselbergers voted in favour of the motion. After the end of the count, Tom goes back to the Tribune to make another sppech.

COMRADES! After a day of deliberation, you have given me your trust, and I shall not fail you. Thus, here is my plan to stop the incoming fire

As first decision under the extended powers, I hereby pause the first session of the worker's congress, including the 2 parts of the 5 year plan we hadn't voted for yet, e.g. the Agriculture program and the Ski resort project. The Nuclear Reactor will continue construction at a slower pace, to ensure that all workers and resources needed to protect the city from the fires are available.

As second decision, I hereby declare all rural areas East of the Easternmost point of Neu Easglas, alongside every village under the jurisdiction of the FCER in this area as restricted areas. From now on, only

• individuals living in the restricted areas
• on-duty professional firefighters
• on-duty policepersons, medical workers, and military personnel
• representants of the people (any members of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches at the Federal or Provincial level, including members of the Tutum Supreme Soviet, and therefore the Speaker, alongside with the Vice-Speaker)
• individuals authorised by the Federal or Tutumite Government, the FCER City Council or the Speaker/Vice-Speaker

will be allowed to enter these areas. Any object susceptible of starting a fire (matches, gaz tanks, etc.), alongside cigarettes or coal are explicitly forbidden within these areas. Individuals found with these items inside of the restricted areas and individuals entering these areas without proper authorisation shall be severely fined and put before justice, no matter their rank.

As third decision, I hereby launch the anti-fire plan, described by the following drawing.

Tom raises the following sketch for the crowd to see

The first line of defence will be all the measures taken in advance, to ensure that the fire does not arrive on friendly soil. They are already very well explained on the graphic. The second line will be reconnaissance, using light patrol vehicles and drones to spot potential fires. The third line will be action, where helicopters and fire-trucks will drop water on any area where fire is starting to form. Finally, if all previous defences fail to stop the fire, last resort measures, i.e. evacuations and big planes will be used to stop the fires. 2 deep and wide trenches will be built at the East of the city, in a semi-circle over kilometres to blockany chance of the fire passing. Each trench shall be 3 metres deep and 5 metres wide, with cables to detect any potentially flammable object such as tumbleweeds falling in the trenches. Experts will also work on the feasibility to flood both trenches with water from the Porter river in case a trench starts to fail.

Finally, I declare the anti-fire plan the absolute priority. Any project or activity within the city that don't directly help the realisation of this plan should be considered for reduction, to ensure that the project is finished on time.

Vive la commune !

The crowd starts applauding, as Tom leaves
