There’s also an explanation of the proposal, but you can read ours, so to me, it’s more interesting to look the language Mayor Michael Hancock, Councilwoman Robin Kniech and Councilman Albus Brooks use to argue for the plan:
“Some will say our plan isn’t bold enough, others that it’s too expensive and we can’t afford it. But one thing is certain — the status quo just isn’t an option anymore.”
