Full Text

Wyethville is a small and blossoming city, whose recent economic prosperity has prompted development of its waterfront. A new and highly controversial code proposes banning all billboard advertising along the waterfront so as to beautify the area and attract investment. Six members of the local business community and residents, with divergent interests, must present a final Billboard Proposal to their City Council. At least five of the six members must endorse the Proposal for it to be accepted by the City Council.
