Speaker 1 Summary

Enrique argues that the city's transit authority should continue operating without cutting services or increasing fares until it runs out of money. He believes that once the authority's funds are exhausted, the federal government will step in and provide the funding to save the transit authority.

Speaker 2 Summary

Cynthia disagrees with Enrique's strategy. She believes that if the transit authority allows its funds to run out without making any cuts or increasing fares, the federal government will likely let it go out of business. Cynthia suggests that the transit authority cannot risk this outcome.

Objective

Disagreement: Enrique and Cynthia disagree on whether the transit authority should continue to run without making any cuts or increasing fares.
