Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I mostly refer to mayoral duties because it is that which I am more accustomed. I would like to suggest that the financial records of the city be up to the mayor as to their detail and what all they include. I would like to think that the cash system for mayor will be more than just sliding bars on how much is spent in one area and that the mayor can withdraw cash to use personally (As would be required for some of the welfare systems I've proposed). And as such then it would make sense that when financial records are published that it be up to the mayor to label withdrawals for specific purposes, such as when they go to the bank and withdraw they select an existing category (Welfare, Public service, etc.) and it would add to the amount of debits that category received. And if there was a category they did not see, they could create a new one and all this would be marked down in the financial records when they are published. I'd assume other categories of it would be automated like I would expect that Road services would be auto-filled out and such (and I hope to god the mayor can choose which roads get more care than others, I love detail), but I would really enjoy the creative freedom to expand my position as mayor by having more custom freedom over where the money is spent. It would also make more interesting detail if someone found out the mayor was illegally using funds, for example, if someone notices that there's a large debit in the police budget and find out that police are paid a lot less than they should be, or if road service is really high but the roads are actually all cracked, then people could figure out the mayor was corrupt. Just something to chew on. Sincerely, Blake Gillman - Running for Mayor Edited July 4, 2017 by kriller509 Grammatical fixes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2017 I really like your idea! I think being elected Mayor should be something that the citizens would really have to consider. It would be boring to just decide how much to spend, and how much to illegally use by sliding a bar, and basically condensing being Mayor into one mind-numbing job. Being Mayor should be a bit more tougher than that, for the people who actually want to do a good job without it being served to them, and so people need to think more about who to elect. There also should be consequences, like cracked roads and low wages (For government services) when a bad mayor elected. In essence, I agree with you. Good luck with the campaign!

Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Maybe not direct documents, but y'know the whole 'spend cash as is needed' would be nice Edited August 2, 2017 by kriller509 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
