Counsel Notes
This section made a number of technical corrections to budget laws, though it was not exhaustive and errors and technical matters continue to exist. For a number of reasons, perhaps the complexity of laws pertaining to budgetary matters, very often technical correction bills are difficult to achieve approval, usually among very high level staff. An inability to understand the technical nature of the corrections, with a dislike of having to explain text and an aversion to doing anything unless it has some appreciable political benefit, make getting technical corrections included in measures.
