Lord Chancellor Rubanya Cledman is proposing to tax dogs. The tax is part of a reform proposal to appoint an "ombudsman" to investigate corruption within the empire. The ombudsman would have a staff of 100 inspectors and auditors. The ombudsman's office would be funded by a new tax payable by dog owners at a rate of 1 bayla per mutt dog per adonsik (year). Purebred dogs would be exempt.
The proposal has been discussed by the Imperial Council, but was not endorsed by the council. The Lord Chancellor has agreed to discuss the matter further with the council before bringing it to the attention of the Emperor. Various councillors have urged the Salan Uloro (provincial governors) to write letters to the council expressing support or opposition for this proposal.
