With _Zab_ taking a leave from the town in the beginning of the month the town was left to 1950Minecraft to watch over and keep Oakridge growing. In the middle of the month Oakridge added 14 new affordable plots for players to own! Oakridge has also been home to a number of events from Football tournaments and Presidential Rallies. On the legislative side they finalized there Building Codes as well. Closely following the example set by Hamilton. Zab returned to the town at end of the month.
Early this month Willow progressed to Tier 3! Opening up enough land for new players to become a part of Willow. They've even added a new Chapel to the town over the height limit those so It was corrected. The town picked a flag to represent Willow. On the last day of the month the town was host to a farmers market.
Towards the end of the month Aventura was released to the public! It's been a couple months in the making but is now here for everyone to enjoy. The town opened up to a whole host of events, from scavengers hunts, boat races, and even movie nights. The town has already filled out off of its properties thanks to the auctioning off of said properties to the public just before release. The town already has big plans to expand to near by islands. Looking forwards to seeing what they can do!

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS
Our Government has, for the past 2 months, made many great strides in policy and in practice. The Commonwealth continues to improve but still has far to go.
We have placed an especially increased emphasis on the economy, and have sought to increase the buying power of consumers and reign in the wealth disparities in our society.
The single largest program we have developed is the Universal Basic Income, which runs costs of about $500,000 per month and has contributed to growing the Middle Class by 15% monthly.
While the costs of UBI are by no measure small, it is the opinion of this Government that the benefits it brings us are far too valuable to give up.
We cannot leave the poorest of us behind in pursuit of a balanced budget when we have over a million dollars in reserves.
During the first month of the UBI project, we were able to run on a surplus in excess of $200k, proving that we CAN afford UBI.
During the second month, we ran a deficit of a little under $200k before the Federal Treasury Deposits System, primarily due to the lack of a major plot expansion.
I have issued an Executive Order to enact a Property Tax that is projected to generate about $46,000 per month to help slow the Government’s deficit pending DCT plot releases.
As plots are released to the public, the Government will be able to use the funds from plot sales to continue to fund our increasingly ambitious social programs, and may have room to lower taxes.
Even at our current burn rate, the Government has built a Treasury large enough to sustain ourselves throughout the entire duration of the next Administration without any cuts to spending or increases to taxes.
Much has happened in these previous 2 months. We have implemented a new town and begun the process to begin the next.
We have increased the DOH’s involvement in the private medical industry which has boosted the revenue of the Government and private business while also increasing convenience for citizens.
We have established systems within the Department of Justice to allow for our Officers to more easily infiltrate and halt organized crime BEFORE it harms our Citizens.
We have subsidized the continued growth of our Towns through Federal Districts programs and decreasing the price of upgrade and of expansions.
We have set in motion the beginning of International Relations with BusinessCraft and Vindex, who have expressed interest in interacting with our Commonwealth.
We have enacted laws to protect new players from being exploited by the political establishment. We have reformed our Criminal Justice system to protect from overcrowding.
We have moved many Rules to Laws, further ensuring that not Redmont, but that DemocracyCraft is a server run by the players that pour hours into it every day.
And in these next Congressional elections, we will elect a record 15 members to the House of Representatives, the largest elected body to ever serve in Minecraft, and the only such body to be elected through Proportional Representation.
But what we’ve done these past two months is only the beginning. I have served in this Government since the 2nd Congress and have seen firsthand how far our great community has come.
I have served all of you, through both the private and public sectors, and this Monday I celebrate the one year anniversary of my join date on DC.
But I’ll save more on that for June 15th.
It is time for us to pass the torch. No matter who wins these upcoming Presidential Elections, I am confident that Redmont will be in good hands.
I wouldn’t be leaving if I thought it wasn’t.
Our Government has ended the month at a net surplus of $220,000. Our roads are being updated every day, and new companies rise to replace old.
The State of the Commonwealth is Strong, but has so much further to go. Don’t vote for your friend, don’t vote who your friends are voting for. Vote for a leader.
Glory to Redmont, thank you.

HugeBob
