POWER PLANT COMPANY

A power plant company wants to build up a power plant in Riverside. Although they want residents to pay 50% of start-up amount and this can cause increase on taxes, it will provide some benefits for Riverside residents. Firstly, there is currently only one electricity power company and their electricity bill per month is pretty expensive, and if there is another company it probably will decrease. In order to allow this power plant project, the city office should listen consumers, nearby residents and the company. I think all of them can deal pretty well on this project.

Residents should accept 50% of start-up amount if their electricity bill per month will be decreased 50%. Secondly, if the taxes will increase, it should be less % increase with long period instead of more % increase with long period. Thirdly, there should be city-vote on whether most people want this power plan, or not.

Nearby residents should not be affected by environmental problems; therefore, the company has to take precautions. On the other hand, the company should agree with the less electricity fee per month. They should also suggest some job opportunities for the residents. Furthermore, they should finish construction in three years in order to provide cheap electricity to residents as soon as possible.

Last but not least, the city office can increase the taxes to afford the start-up amount of the company. They should also agree with the consumers opinions about taxes. If there is something new for the city, the city officer should always consider the residents’ benefits firstly.
