A few days after their conversation, Carl and Amy returned for another stakeholder meeting to discuss a proposed solution to the light rail dispute.

Ted, one of the opponents of the light rail station, said to Carl, "I can't believe you're not standing more firmly against this proposal. It provides some additional police patrols and security, but you and I know that the only way to keep the neighborhood safe is to stop that station."

Carl replied, "Ted, I understand that you think this proposal doesn't seem to go as far as it could, but I think a lot of people just won't support a stronger one. We've heard from everyone, and it's important that we come to some kind of resolution here. If we need to make changes later, I want us to be able say we tried something to see if it would work."
