Discussion report 10

I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the meeting was community integration. Sakuma town is dead and there are many empty buildings because the town can't pay off a debt. The population of the town is 15,000. The town want to integrate with Kawano town. Kawano town has a population of 50,000 and it doesn't have financial problems.
There were 5 panelists. Sakurako called Mami is 31 years old and she is a staff of Kawano town. She thinks that the integration doesn't have merits for her town. Saori called Saki is 40 years old and she works at the town hall of Kawano town. She said that she didn't want to integrate with Sakuma town because Sakuma town has some financial problems. Mami and Saki disagreed with the integration. Keiko called Junpei is a mayor of Sakuma town and he likes soccer. He thinks that it is the best way that the town integrate with Kawano town to solve the financial difficulty. Ayamasa called Jeff lives in Sakuma town. Mai called Kitty is 27 years old and she is a teacher of the elementary school. She thinks that the integration has a good effect on children.
An important point of the discussion was what Kawano town could get from the integration. Sakuma town will have many advantages by integrating with Kawano town, but Kawano town doesn't have any problems, so they don't need to integrate with Sakuma town. After all, they decided that Kawano town would not integrate with Sakuma town.
I thought that Sakuma town too much relied on Kawano town for help. They should try to solve the difficulty by themselves.
Panelists discussed cheerfully, so it was good. I thought that the moderator didn't have to repeat everything the panelists said.
