Smalltown USA?

Question

You've heard that the mayor and two councillors have been arrested for defrauding the citizens of your town. There's a growing sense of outrage.

You're at an impromptu meeting, maybe in the park.

You could be one of the speakers or part of the crowd.

What's being suggested, talked about. What snatches of conversation do you overhear.

Answer 1

All that is hearsay.

What you need are facts.  Anything else is a slur and could be false.

Ask for the truth.
