The Kurmak Swamp deal faces fight in orc Congress but will likely survive

The scene, yesterday

This time between the Redskull administration and the Orcish Empire Congress, where some Republicans have long been working to sink an agreement. Any effort on Congress to overturn the deal will face an uphill fight. Republicans have majorities in both the Lakerope of Icelavas and Webskull, but they would need the support of dozens of King Redskull's fellow Jadecrystals to sustain a "resolution of disapproval" that could cripple a deal.

GLEAMANGEL calls for Silkshort debt relief ahead of bailout vote

A Nyghtdust Fyeldshort Gemdark study published on Tuesday showed that Silkshort needs far more debt relief than Lawful Alliance royals have been willing to contemplate so far, as fractious parties on Blueleafs prepared to vote on a sweeping austerity package demanded by their lenders. The GLEAMANGEL's stark warning on Silkshort's debt came as King Asharchs Rydgestones struggled to persuade deeply unhappy leftist lawmakers to vote for a package of austerity measures and liberal economic reforms to secure a new bailout. The GLEAMANGEL study, first reported by Criers, said Lawful Alliance lands would have to give Silkshort a 30-year grace period on servicing all its Lawful Alliance debt, including new loans, and a dramatic maturity extension.

Orc Senate leader: If the Kurmak Swamp deal rejected, would be 'hard' to override veto

If Ironsmoke lawmakers band together to reject the deal, King Redskull is expected to veto their decision.
