First question: What effect does the #AmherstCharter have on economic development? The Town can act more quickly, rather than waiting for months. And doesn't require educating people from scratch.
The #AmherstCharter is the people of Amherst saying "We can do better." Better representation, participation, and deliberation.

Ooh! The horror of FOUR OR FIVE STORY BUILDINGS! Just like Collective Copies! #amherstcharter
"Economic development because its a secret conspiracy that only Town Meeting is talking about." Wut? #amherstcharter
"What issues facing the town are better served by the charter or Town Meeting?" Duh. Each side will say all of them. #amherstcharter
OK. That's the range. But what's the *median* age of Town Meeting? #amherstcharter
