Speaker 1 Summary

Councilperson X thinks that if the council approves construction of a new generating station, they should endorse the proposed design. Why? Because the design would allow for the lowest electricity rates. The council is obligated to ensure these rates are as low as possible.

Speaker 2 Summary

Councilperson Y comes to the unstated conclusion that the council should not endorse the proposed design. Why not? Because the council has an obligation to maintain the community's quality of life. The proposed design would damage the community’s air quality more than the community would benefit from lower rates.

Objective

We need a statement that Councilperson X and Y disagree on. They disagree on whether the council should endorse the proposed design for the new generating station. X thinks it must be endorsed, and Y thinks not due to a cost-benefit analysis.
