On surpluses and thaws
General Improvement Fund report: They'll probably set aside some amount of money for local projects and set up a commission to vet these projects during the interim and authorize the release of money. That'll circumvent the court injunction against naming local projects. The fights, then, will be how much is set aside and who appoints the vetting commission. Thaw in Brotherhood/Otherhood? It's superficial. People are being courteous, for now. That's all.
