Local Government Finance Act 1992
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

50 Calculation of budget requirement by authorities in Wales .
(1) In relation to each financial year a local precepting authority in Wales shall make the calculations required by this section. (2) The authority must calculate the aggregate of— (a) the expenditure the authority estimates it will incur in the year in performing its functions and will charge to a revenue account for the year; (b) such allowance as the authority estimates will be appropriate for contingencies in relation to expenditure to be charged to a revenue account for the year; (c) the financial reserves which the authority estimates it will be appropriate to raise in the year for meeting its estimated future expenditure; and (d) such financial reserves as are sufficient to meet so much of the amount estimated by the authority to be a revenue account deficit for any earlier financial year as has not already been provided for. (3) The authority must calculate the aggregate of— (a) the sums which it estimates will be payable to it for the year and in respect of which amounts will be credited to a revenue account for the year, other than sums which it estimates will be so payable in respect of any precept issued by it; and (b) the amount of the financial reserves which the authority estimates that it will use in order to provide for the items mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2) above. (4) If the aggregate calculated under subsection (2) above exceeds that calculated under subsection (3) above, the authority must calculate the amount equal to the difference; and the amount so calculated shall be its budget requirement for the year. (5) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c) above an authority’s estimated future expenditure is— (a) that which the authority estimates it will incur in the financial year following the year in question, will charge to a revenue account for the year and will have to defray in the year before the following sums are sufficiently available, namely, sums— (i) which will be payable to it for the year; and (ii) in respect of which amounts will be credited to a revenue account for the year; and (b) that which the authority estimates it will incur in the financial year referred to in paragraph (a) above or any subsequent financial year in performing its functions and which will be charged to a revenue account for that or any other year.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
