Partial closure of the US state government due to disagreement over the budget


Khandan-
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Maine Gov. Paul Lopez ordered the government to shut down part of the government on Saturday after lawmakers failed to give a two-year budget that he had accepted, pledging to close if he was given a financial plan that did not include spending cuts.

The partial closure of non-essential government services in Maine came into effect at 12.01 am (0600 GMT) after the efforts of the two main parties in the state legislature failed to deliver a $ 7.055 billion two-year budget that would not include new taxes to Lubidj.

There are enough taxes on the people of Maine, I will not impose more taxes on them, "he said in a statement.

Lawmakers in both chambers of parliament worked throughout Friday to present the budget to Lebedig after a budget committee of six bipartisan people reached a deal on a proposed budget Thursday night.

The proposed budget abolished a measure approved by voters in November to impose an additional income tax of 3 percent on state residents who earn more than $ 200,000 a year. The proposed budget also increases the funding of public education by $ 162 million.

The Senate, controlled by Republicans, approved the proposed budget by 34 votes to one vote, but the House of Representatives, controlled by Democrats, was unable to achieve the required two-thirds vote on Friday, which led to the failure to send a budget for the governor.

Even if they did, the state law provided for 10 days for the governor to decide on any budget approved by the legislature. Lubidge said on Friday he was prepared to wait for this period before vetoing any tax-paying budget.

Lubidge said state and park police and all tax collection offices would continue to operate during the closure.

7-1-2017   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   ...the rate is 1184...1184 is their true value...they will float it directly from there. There is no RV.   ...that is the rate, when they float the dinar, the CBI will allow for the dinar to rise based on investment, economic pressure.  The IMF has clearly explained the process for Iraq.    Huge sums of capital (money) could come into Iraq for investment, creating a rapid rise in the Dinar exchange rate...the dinar could rise rapidly and be at 1 to $1 within 6 months or a year. Keep in mind, the CBI is out to make money...there is no money in a RV...A float allows the CBI to profit in commissions as the world buys and sells the dinar.   [post 2 of 2]

7-1-2017   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   The IMF has guidelines that all members must meet...The main restriction in the IMF guidelines requires at least a 1-year notification of a currency change.   I do believe that Iraq is at a crossroads of sort though, they need money bad. And even though there are those trying to stop progress, I do believe they will succeed in creating an environment that will attract foreign investors and investment.    We see Iraq getting to a point where ISIS is almost gone, and the country needs money to rebuild, create jobs etc.  And we have a parliament that has not passed enough laws for foreign investors to engage...And a CBI that is trying to create a stable banking system.   It seems to me, that at some point, something has to give.   [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-1-2017   Intel Guru Frank26   [Guru] Delta sent me some info about an article a few weeks ago – this article dates back to 2013.  What [Guru] Delta and I thought was interesting was that the article basically says that the IMF told them NO not in June 2012 – but wait until July 2013 to lift the 3 zeros.  On the internet, somebody posted an article from 2015...an article said that they would wait until 2017.  The article from 2015 talks about EARLY 2017...but the article we had on Monday night – that was a completely separate article -- that article has disappeared...and we verified it...it was for REAL!  We traced the article further.    It came from a source known as Alpha Press (we had never heard of them before) – this is NOT a rehash article!  Our Teams and the Internet saw the article...but it has since disappeared completely.  Alaq was interview (with pictures)...basically Alak said he would implement the deletion of the zeros in July 2017.  They are planning to RV their currency...and July seems to be a key month.

7-1-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98
   Various governments are stating that Iraq is liberated from ISIS in Mosul.  (Hmmmmm, why is Abadi NOT stating that in his speeches...YET?)  A looped message of the CBI governor, Alaq, claiming to “delete the 3 zeros in July of 2017” is being played on Iaqi TV. (Well, it is now July!) Contrary to 1.20, sources say the in-country rate is .94 still. (Time Will Tell All – True or False)

7-1-2017   Newshound Guru MilitiaMan   There is the completed 2016-2020 plan and the new one coming on line called the 2018 - 2022 plan of management of the Iraqi market economy!   That is because they completed the first one. There is a laundry list of checked items in that IMF document. All done now.  The new CBI Web Site appears to be the venue we will witness a rate change in short order.  Let's not forget the abundance of countries congratulating Iraq on recent liberalization of Mosul and Daesh from the country while being international as Iraq can be just before a rate change to be shown to the world.  All that should give most everyone peace of mind and support that we are in this to win!   [post 2 of 2]

7-1-2017   Newshound Guru MilitiaMan    ...there is enough data out that should give everyone a very profound feeling of closure is at our foot steps now. We can look at the data we know of and openly see massive progress.  The ME tour to (imo) seal the most important deals to get National Reconciliation for the region...photographs with Abadi and Trump many months ago, Al Sistani and Abadi a mere month or two now ago, then the King of Saudi Arabia and Abadi, Tehran and finally the Emir of Kuwait all having one thing in common. Huge ear to ear smiles, prayers and hand shakes!   Then we see that the UNSC openly tells us they are releasing Iraq effectively from Chapter VIi on or before the 30th of June. Done...all of that is done.   [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

7-1-2017   Newshound Guru Aggiedad77   ...it is my strong opinion that Iraq will not LOP...their inflation is no where near what it would be for them to consider such a move...  They have no value in taking such an action...they are looking to be a power and strength for the world once they revalue their currency...not to weaken themselves...This is a time frame to be extremely happy and excited to see so many things unfolding over the past month...the past couple of weeks...this week...and going forward...excitement is in the air...the excitement is all around...all IMO...The BEST is coming...wait for it...the lava flow cannot be stopped...has never been stopped.
