Opening Argument from Chairman Pasternak
Greetings, men and women of the Metro Soviet. As you know, the subject of this meeting is to discuss the formation of a police force for our Soviet. Right now, due to the lack of a central authority, the city is home to lawlessness and chaos in the streets. Criminal activity is at an all time high and there appears to be no force capable, or willing, to stop it. If we are to bring prosperity to the city and its citizens we must first bring order. However, this order will not appear out of thin air, so we must take steps to enforce it. That is why I call for the formation of a police force for our Soviet. The people's well-being depends on it.
I will not lie, this plan is not cheap. Roughly $15,000 will have to be spent on the training, arming, and paying of these twenty men. However, every dollar spent will be well worth it, as it will ensure the safety and well-being of the men, women, and children of this city. For us to be an effective government for this city we must bring order and right now the only option is to start a police force. Once we curb lawlessness, then, and only then, will we be able to take measures to build up our city. Now, at the end of this meeting I would like to call a vote on this measure. But first, do any of you have arguments for or against it?
