The genie will also make sure the laws are enforced. What is your legislative wish?
-
There's a big cult headquarters in my town. I would take away their "religious" tax exempt status. They own so much property!
-
I'd increase funding for education (teachers salaries, classroom supplies and resources, funding for building and field trips and experts to visit) The funding can come from the other two changes
-
I would put a huge tax on any homes where the owners of the home are not the primary/full time occupants. This is a big tax on private equity firms that buy houses, second homes owned by out of towners, and landlords. Our community will benefit from citizens who are fully committed to our town and single home owners should have an advantage in our housing market.
all rentals must offer an option to build equity and own the dwelling in at most 35 years.
incorporate as a city with municipalities sharing the same school district.
bds.
edit: fuck those downvotes are fast. I guess some people love landlords and Israel.
speed limit of 30km/h within city limits
no street parking allowed
maximize budget for traffic enforcement staff
- Tax exempt status not based along traditional lines but based on what brings people together, if it has to exist and if taxes have to exist. I'm surprised people aren't rewarding what makes a dead town not dead.
- A better school system with a better teacher's union and better restraint of powers of faculty, because what has become a vessel of knowledge and community has become a body that dismisses all except the preservation of wealth and power.
- Refine transportation so it's less crude and isn't taken for granted.
-
All zoning and appearances laws banned unless it is by direct vote supermajority, over 66% of registered voters vote yes for it, and it has to be on the ballot when it is not November.
-
No evictions or plea bargains without a jury trial with no legal way to wave that right.
-
No business may garnish the pay of an employee for student loan or medical debt. Likewise no bank. Failure to do obey will result in a special tax on said business equal to double the amount taken.
We're talking genies here
