TRANSCRIPT OF PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS

The measure of a politician is not what they can promise, what rhetoric they have spewed, what party they are from, or what roles they have served in. Fundamentally, serving in a role or being a role where you have done almost nothing - or worse, engaged in unethical conduct - is nothing short of an embarrassment.

In democratic institutions like the Commonwealth of Redmont, the measure of a politician is the work, effort, and time that they dedicate to the people of this nation. The people are not dictated by the government, the government is dictated by them. So what I hope in this month is that people evaluate our performance as your elected government, and are content with the work completed.

I am thrilled to have continued to dedicate my time to public service throughout the month of April, alongside a passionate and engaged Cabinet. We've produced effective economic measures to support towns in times of need, created more opportunities for new players than before, reviewed public concern involving law enforcement, stood up for the privacy rights of citizens, and much more.

A specific program this month I would like to highlight has been our efforts to coordinate and implement reformed and renewed supply chain efforts. We've established a new supply depot, creating two depots to support the nation's ever-demanding need for resources. While I helped oversee much of this project, it would not be possible without the significant contributions of the Department of Construction and Transport, the Special Advisor of Supply Coordination, and the members of Cabinet.

With all of these projects and programs completed in this month, I believe that we have fulfilled our duty to the people and will continue to do so in the next month. To those who may not have been pleased with our efforts this month, I encourage them to reach out, ask questions, and to express their concerns; as my DMs are always open.

And as we head into the next election season - both for Congress in May and then the Presidency in June, always remember the power that you have as an individual. Don't just vote for someone because they are a big-name or they have a fancy tag. Vote for someone who aligns with your views; and someone who is willing to have a conversation with you anytime.

Thank you once again to all.

Westray
President of the Commonwealth of Redmont

TOWN UPDATES

Aventura

Achievements:
Working in reveille, hired wetc as commerce co-councillor

Plans:
Continuing work on Reveille

Klondike

Achievements:
The Town of Klondike has appointed a second Deputy mayor, much like seen in many departments with deputy secretaries. This second deputy will serve the purpose of overseeing town development, while the other oversees government. Klondike has also achieved Tier 5, making us the second fastest town to reach the last required tier.

Plans:
In the coming month, you may see some Klondike development changes. This all depends on reveille, the release date, and some other factors with our builders and dev team!

Oakridge

Achievements:
Oakridge has accomplished a lot this month behind the scenes. For starters we started to update our bylaws, constitution, and building regulations. We also started the framework for our new town constitution that will incorporate Arsky (a district of Oakridge) fully into the town. Unfortunately our theatre's roof collapsed after a tree fall on it so the town has started construction on a new theater which will be released during our Spring Loaded Event on May 2nd. Furthermore the town has been working tirelessly on internal economic changes which have already started to improve the local economy in Oakridge.

Plans:
On May 2nd, Oakridge will be launching new programs aimed at our local businesses from offering grants, loans, special business buybacks, and so much more. We'll also be working on remodeling the north expansion of Oakridge into a revolutionary way how towns work. But while we do love construction projects we must also prioritize our citizens needs which is why we will be introducing more transparency within Oakridge in the coming weeks. From making public old council chats to offering the first town museum. We truly can't wait to showcase new features we're adding to Oakridge.

Willow

Achievements:
The town confirmed two new Council members to join as Public Relations and Industrial Advisors.

Plans:
More planning for Reveille. A renewal of activity.
