Question
2
In the past, we’ve held contests to decide on the namesfor new municipal buildings in our town, with thewinning entry chosen by our town council. However,these contests were really just a sneaky way for thetown council to choose the name they wanted all along.With hundreds of entries to choose from, the councilwas bound to find the name they had in mind. I think wecan all agree that the only real winners in thesecontests were the town council members themselves.
As you all know, a new library will be opening within thenext year. This time, I propose that we hold a publicvote to choose the name. The process will be simple.Residents can visit the polling station and write downany name they like. The votes will be tallied, and themost popular name will be given to our new library. Asimilar process has been used in neighboring cities.Residents reported that they felt the process was fairer.A higher percentage of people approved of buildingnames compared to instances where names weredecided through contests. Having a vote is a fasterprocess than judging individual contest entries. And, thenames chosen through votes are often more familiarand easier to pronounce. By holding a vote, towncouncil can show residents that it truly values what theyhave to say. And finally, our neighboring town ofWestmont also named its library by a vote.
