Council Chamber Read a town petition, weigh the stakeholders and the evidence, then vote — Approve, Deny, Amend, or Table. Every vote has a consequence. 
Budget Balancer Set the town budget across five departments. Fund the floors, watch the approval meter, and do not overspend. 
Civic Lab Apply the Bill of Rights to real situations, route a case to the right court, and draft a town law that can actually pass. 
Both Sides Argue fairly: find the STRONGEST argument on the other side (a steelman, not a strawman) and name who a rule helps and who it costs. How are you feeling?

Govern your town
Council Chamber Weigh a petition, then vote — Approve, Deny, Amend, or Table. Every vote has a consequence. Budget Balancer Set the town budget across five departments — fund the floors, keep approval up. Civic Lab Apply the Bill of Rights, route a case to the right court, and draft a law that can pass. Both Sides Steelman the other side and name who a rule helps and who it costs — it is about how to deliberate. Keep or Replace? Hold officials to their RECORD: read a promise and what they actually did, judge whether they kept it, then cast the accountable vote. Non-partisan — about the word given, not who you like.
