RSA 13 Financial Assistance to Counties, Towns and Cities
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.
Change 1
13:1 Application for Assistance.
Any town, city or county which is or shall hereafter be unable to finance the ordinary needs of government, or to meet outstanding or maturing obligations to pay, owing to the inability to collect taxes already assessed, or the extraordinary demands made upon it for unemployment relief, and which is or may become unable to borrow through the ordinary banking channels or the issuance and sale of bonds sufficient money to meet such governmental needs, or outstanding or maturing obligations to pay, may apply to the governor and council for financial assistance from the state. Such application may be made by either the selectmen or town meeting in the case of a town, the mayor or council in the case of a city or the county commissioners or county convention in the case of a county. Source. 1933, 63:1. 1945, 112:1, eff. April 4, 1945.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
