The following is a letter that recently appeared in the Oak City Gazette, a local newspaper.
"The primary function of the Committee for a Better Oak City is to advise the city government on how to make the best use of the city's limited budget. However, at some of our recent meetings we failed to make important decisions because of the foolish objections raised by committee members who are not even residents of Oak City. People who work in Oak City but who live elsewhere cannot fully understand the business and politics of the city. After all, only Oak City residents pay city taxes, and therefore only residents understand how that money could best be used to improve the city. We recommend, then, that the Committee for a Better Oak City vote to restrict its membership to city residents only. We predict that, without the interference of non-residents, the committee will be able to make Oak City a better place in which to live and work."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
题目翻译
O城市改善委员会的主要责任就是在如果更好使用有限的预算方面给予其建议。但是，在最近的会议上我们没有做出任何的重要的决定，是因为在会议上一些并非O市民的委员们提出的愚蠢的反对意见。。总而言之，只有O的市民缴税，因此只有他们才知道如何使用这笔钱更好的改善本市。所以我们的建议是城市改善委员会的委员们只有O市市民才可以投票。我们预计没有了外地人的干预，这个委员会会使我们O市变成更适宜工作和居住的城市。
题目分析
1. 首先，非当地居民不一定就无权谈论当地发展情况。因为他们可能对当地情况有所了解，因而可以对当地发展情况做出评论;或是他们可以就自己居住地区的发展情况，给当地发展提供一些参考借鉴。总之外地人不一定无权发表意见。
2. 其次，并不是只有交钱的人才能管理这笔钱。因为资金管理是一门技术，有相关经验或背景的人都可以提供参考意见。基金经理管理的是其他人的钱，也不妨碍他能够合理运用这笔钱，并为客户实现盈利。
3. 最后，即使外地人确实无权发表意见，他们的反对也不一定是会议失败的原因。因为两者只是时间先后关系，可能有其他使会议失败的原因，比如本地人的分歧。
