6While it may be true that the Mason City
government ought to devote more money to riverside
recreational facilities, this authors argument does not make
a cogent case for increased resources based on river use. It
is easy to understand why city residents would want a
cleaner river, but this argument is rife with holes and
assumptions, and thus, not strong enough to lead to
increased funding.672

6The decision to restore the time devoted to
weather and local news to its former level is one that should
be made with more careful consideration of evidence, data,
and viewer/client feedback by the business manager of this
television station. Many assumptions have been made on the
business managers part about the exact cause of the
problems with the program. He or she should approach the
idea of making changes with more caution.733

A clean, beautiful, safe river often adds to a citys property
values, leads to increased tourism and revenue from those
who come to take advantage of the river, and a better overall
quality of life for residents. For these reasons, city
government may decide to invest in improving riverside
recreational facilities. However, this authors argument is not
likely significantly persuade the city government to allocate
increased funding.673

Examining all the various angles and factors involved with
improving riverside recreational facilities, the argument does
not justify increasing the budget. While the proposal does
highlight a possibility, more information is required to warrant
any action.
