Simmons-Butler's Stage 7 article provides details of a $225 million
pipeline project in Texas. It explains a general outline of what the project
is, how much it will cost, and it's purpose. The link pasted below her article
establishes her credibility and allows readers to fact-check her claims.
An opposing
argument would have helped intensify the article. She states that, "Even
though this project is a large investment, I hope that it will be useful to
society in the future.", providing evidence to the contrary and then
giving explanations of her own opinions would give the piece some zest. The
opposition's view would also allow readers to see a more firm logic in her
argument and would help further establish her credibility.
I do agree
that this is quite the hefty investment and I wonder how this will reflect in
the public's daily life. Will it cause a tax increase? Will it cause traffic
issues? How many jobs will this project open up?
Overall this
was a clear, concise, and informative article with an interesting subject (it
definitely hits close to home).
