Sandoval Sends Tomorrow Technology Bill to Prefectural Senate 7/30/3132
INN - Interstellar News Network
TIKOGRAD, TIKONOV—In an ongoing push to achieve and sustain an edge in the
technology sector, Lord Governor Aaron Sandoval today proposed a massive new
program of education grants and school subsidies for agricultural worlds in Prefecture
IV.
"Earlier this year we focused our attentions on immediate trade and technology deals,"
Sandoval said, referring to his recently completed trip to Terra, where he announced
the establishment of new business relationships. "Now we need to make a
commitment to supporting the future that such deals will create. To this end, I'm
sending a proposal to the Prefectural Senate today providing funds and a framework
for educational guidelines and funding to benefit those worlds most in need of support
for innovation and technological growth.”
Sources in Sandoval's Education Cabinet say that the proposal, which Sandoval is
calling his Tomorrow Technology bill, is the most far-reaching high-tech education
proposal ever seen in Prefecture IV. Given that this region’s most influential
politicians have always been concentrated on technology, the implications of such a
statement are huge.
"As part of this project, we're granting forward-thinking industry special tax breaks to
supply know-how and internship programs for schools in their districts, and we're
making education a more attractive career for technical experts looking to share their
expertise," Sandoval said.
"We're very excited, of course," said Suzanne Bhadaue, Director of the Ingress
Education Network. Ingress, mainly an agricultural world, would benefit immediately
from this bill if it passes. “With world-over academic averages lower than 70 percent
of the other worlds in Prefecture IV,” said Bhadaue, “such support is indispensable to
Ingress’ future.”
A science professor at the University of Mirach, speaking on condition of anonymity,
expressed doubts about the program. "It just sounds too good to be true. I've seen
promises like this before, so I'll believe it when I see it."
There was criticism from other quarters as well. Milton Maxwell, Superintendant of
Schools in the Balestone province of Ronel where mining is the main regional
industry, said, “This bill is a house of cards and its limited scope only pushes the
problem from one world to another. No planet can be defined by its overriding
industry, and no planet’s needs can be easily provided for by one solution. I’d say the
same if this bill were exclusively for mining planets, though God knows we could use
the help.”
Insiders say that they expect the debate on the Tomorrow Technology bill to last for
at least two months.
