Draft of Public Argument

I've finally finished my first draft of Project 3!  It is an opinion piece concerning drought and reducing water consumption locally, meant for the Arizona Daily Star, Tucson's local print newspaper.  You can view the first draft here.

In terms of feedback, I have a few questions it would be helpful if you could try to address:

• Was the organization clear?  Did the paragraphs flow, and the argument make logical sense?
• What did you think of the headline?
• Was the opening paragraph intriguing enough?
• Did you feel like you understood the situation, or did it need to be explained further?  Did you understand in general why Tucson's drought plan is ineffective?  Was enough background provided?
• Anything else you see not working that needs to be improved upon?

Thanks so much for all your help!
