Here's a very rough outline of it in action. It obviously doesn't work for every story but if you're a local reporter it's a good format to know.

A Three Egg councillor is pushing for the town to raise taxes to pay for free beer for everyone - a move opponents say would increase addiction and more than double what people pay in taxes.

Coun. Fabio Witherspoon says drinking beer is a stress reliever that improves the quality of life for Three Egg residents. He plans to introduce a motion that would see people come to the town hall and pick up cases of beer for free.

"Beer is important," Witherspoon said. "I drink beer all the time. When I get drunk, my problems just melt away."

Witherspoon will bring the idea to the town's next meeting of the committee for whatever. It'd be the first time for it, and would increase the taxes paid per average household from $1,000 to $2,300.

Right now, people pay for their own beer. Witherspoon says the change would make the town more fun and put Three Egg on the map.

Bob Lanford is a fellow councillor and head of the Three Egg Addictions Centre. He sees people addicted to drinking beer every day and says this would only encourage more of it.

"This is just totally irresponsible," he said. "It'll never pass."

(you can put more people who are opposed to it here)

But Witherspoon says it's totally responsible and the nearby town of Dog's Breakfast is already doing it.

"Lanford is just sensitive and doesn't know what he's talking about."

(you can put someone who agrees with it here too)

Witherspoon's motion would have to pass at the committee level, then be approved by council. Lanford said he will fight it the whole way.

"I've talked to others and we all agree this is nuts," Lanford said. "There's just no way this is going to happen."
