Apollon Town Meeting Oct. 25th, 2018

General Introduction

  In this town meeting, our panel moderated by Jack Torrance who is a hotel  caretaker discussed whether we should build an amusement park.
  As a background to this discussion, we have no amusement park. There are just some glass bottom boats on which guides and people ride in order to view in the see.

The Panelists Today Were:

Jessica Hamby: a 28-year-old female wedding planner who agreed to build an amusement park. She felt building an amusement park was good for the economy and not only tourism but also people in Apollon would enjoy there. Her opinion was that we first should make a small amusement park by using tax and gradually expand it because it would cost a lot of money to build it.

Andy Smith: a 26-year-old male pilot who agreed to build an amusement park. He felt building an amusement park was good for the economy because many tourism would come for it.

Mercy Adamson: a 25-year-old female bookstore owner who agreed to build an amusement park. She suggested to build a water park on the sea as a solution of the problem there is not the perfect land to build an amusement park.

Mary Savoie: a 40-year-old female farmer who disagreed to build an amusement park. She was concerned about money which is needed to build it and she insisted that tourists visited Apollon for the nature and they didn't seek like an amusement park.

Ivy Mitchell: a 25-year-old housewife who disagreed to build an amusement park. She felt it costed an extensive amount of money and it was not needed.

Consensus

  The panel was somehow able to move toward an agreeable consensus. They decided to build a small water park and expand the size if we make enough benefit.

Observation and Opinions

   The meeting seemed not to reach a consensus, but finally reached a consensus. Both panelists who agree and disagree didn't yield to other's opinion. I think it would better to hammer out a compromise a little faster. I wonder all panelists really agree the decision, so I don't think the meeting is effective. I couldn't really understand why we needed to build the water park.
