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
As published
80:1-a Prepayment of Resident Tax.
Any town or city may authorize prepayment of the resident tax, and acceptance of the prepayment. In a town, the decision shall be by vote at a town meeting under a proper article in the warrant. In a city, the decision shall be by vote of the governing body. If authorized, any person liable for resident tax may pay the tax at any time from April 1 until he receives notice of the assessed resident tax. The collector shall receive the payment, issue a receipt, and credit the amount paid toward the resident tax later assessed for the year. Each month, the tax collector shall submit a list of all prepayments received to the assessing officials. Once adopted, authority to make and receive prepayments shall continue until rescinded by the same method used for adoption.

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.
