Show summary

Politician: Support Our public libraries are open only on weekdays and generally at times when most children are at school and most adults at work. ██████ ████ █████████ ███ █████ ████████ ████ ███ █████████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██████████ ██████████ ██ ███ █████ ██████████ ███ ███████ ██████ ██████ ██ ████████ ██████ ███ ███████ █████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████ ████ █████████ ███ █████ █████████

Summary

The author concludes that if library hours are NOT changed to better suit taxpayers and their families, then we should not approve new taxes to support the library system.

Why?

Because most taxpayers and their families don’t have many opportunities to use public libraries.

Notable Assumptions

We’re trying to prove that, if we don’t change library hours to make the library more accessbile to taxpayers, we should not approve new taxes to support the library system. But notice that the premise doesn’t tell us anything about when new taxes should not be approved. We want a premise that will connect the premise to the conclusion that, if we don’t change library hours, new taxes shouldn’t be approved. For example:

If library hours are inconvenient for taxpayers and their families, then if we don’t change those library hours to make them more convenient, we should not approve new taxes for the library.
