The following appeared in a letter to the editor of Parson City's local newspaper.

"In our region of Trillura, the majority of money spent on the schools that most students attend—the city-run public schools—comes from taxes that each city government collects. The region's cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to public education. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

---------------
argument 1 -- ' Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. ' //maybe Parson City has more tax payers; or more children;

argument 2 -- //it is only for 'recently' , maybe Parson City recently need more maintenance;

argument 3 -- 'Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do.'//'a higher value on education is not up only to the budgetary priority'
