AGENDA 3/26

Review scoring guide and answer questions about the scoring guide for local issues papers.
Talking point: Make sure that Part III, the Solutions, is an argument. Use persuasive language, e.g., essential, important, beneficial, pragmatic, convenient, effective in the long-term, will provide immediate gains, etc. Your goal is to present that your proposed solution is the best solution available, for whatever reasons.
