Meeting place

In my community there are several different places that people discuss a variety of things going on. The main place is the community hall. The discussion that was at hand that day was to have better road conditions going through main street. The place was set up with the members of the counsel up front of the room 3 members sitting at a long table, the residents of the community were in the chairs facing the table. There were a variety of questions: one " What is this road project going to cost us?" the city counsel member Jim responded to this question with he was not sure exactly what the cost but responded "it is needed does everyone agree?" The majority agreed that it had to be done. There was a vote on the subject to see how many apposed, I did not get that exact number but was told from another counsel member Bill that the majority won, and the project is set to start next spring. The next day I had run to the grocery store and Nancy my neighbor happened to be there, I approach her and asked how she was doing and asked what she thought of the whole road project " She explained it was a toss up for her she thinks it definitely needs to be done but she is not looking forward to the increase in cost. I told her I agreed. There are a lot of people i town feeling the same way.
