The camera pans across a dark, cluttered living room, focusing on an elderly woman, Ashley Chambers, frantically typing an email on her computer. She looks worried as she reads the email from Michele Stockman about the proposed water and sewer bill hike.

Suddenly, a knock at the door startles Ashley, causing her to jump in her seat. She cautiously approaches the door, peering through the peephole to see a figure standing outside. Reluctantly, she opens the door to find a shadowy figure standing on her doorstep.

The figure, a man in a dark trench coat, steps inside without waiting for an invitation. Ashley’s heart races as she tries to remain calm, questioning the stranger’s presence in her home.

“What do you want?” Ashley asks, her voice trembling.

The man stares at her with cold, unfeeling eyes. “I’m here to talk about your concerns regarding the water and sewer bill hike,” he says in a monotone voice.

Ashley’s eyes widen in fear as she realizes the man knows about the email she received from Michele Stockman. Before she can react, the man lunges towards her, pinning her against the wall with a menacing glare.

“You’re getting too involved, Ashley,” the man hisses. “You need to stay out of things that don’t concern you.”

Ashley struggles against the man’s grip, crying out for help as he presses a hand over her mouth to silence her. The room fills with tension as Ashley fights back against her attacker, desperately trying to break free.

Just as it seems all hope is lost, a sudden crash echoes through the room as Ashley’s neighbor bursts through the door, wielding a baseball bat. The man turns to face the new threat, giving Ashley the opportunity to break free and flee to safety.

As the neighbor and the mysterious man engage in a violent struggle, Ashley watches in horror, knowing that she narrowly escaped a dangerous situation. With her heart pounding in her chest, she realizes just how deeply she’s entangled in a web of secrets and danger, unsure of who she can trust.

Captain James T. Kirk sat in his captain’s chair on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, reviewing the latest report from the Measure E Independent Advisory Committee. As the crew continued their mission to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and civilizations, Kirk couldn’t help but think about the impact of the committee’s recommendations on the city of Fortuna.

“Spock, what do you make of this?” Kirk asked, turning to his trusty First Officer.

Spock raised an eyebrow as he studied the report. “It appears that the Measure E Committee has allocated funds for various positions and programs within the city, including park and recreation staff, police officers, and funds to cover a general fund deficit.”

Kirk nodded, contemplating the implications of the committee’s decisions. “It’s crucial for a city to have proper funding for essential services. Without it, chaos could ensue.”

“Indeed, Captain,” Spock agreed. “The allocation of resources is a delicate balance that must be carefully maintained.”

As the Enterprise continued its journey through the galaxy, Kirk couldn’t help but wonder how the decisions made by the Measure E Committee would impact the residents of Fortuna. Would the additional police officers make the city safer? Would the park and recreation programs enrich the lives of its citizens?

Only time would tell, but Kirk knew one thing for certain – as long as the Measure E Committee continued to prioritize the well-being of the city, Fortuna would thrive. And as a captain dedicated to exploring new worlds and protecting the innocent, Kirk was grateful for their dedication to serving the community. With a smile, he turned his gaze back to the stars, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

(Chorus)
Vamos dançar no carnaval
Com alegria e muita animação
Vamos celebrar o nosso ideal
Com muita música e diversão

(Verso)
Na cidade de Fortuna
O Conselho Municipal discute
Sobre a transação e uso de imposto
Para melhorar, a cidade construir

(Refrão)
Medida de financiamento suplementar
Para serviços essenciais melhorar
Com aumento de imposto, vamos arrecadar
Para polícia, ruas, parques e mais cuidar

(Ponte)
Opção A ou B, a escolha é sua
Para investir na nossa cidade, na rua
Oh, carnaval, festa popular
Vamos votar e juntos celebrar

(Refrão)
Vamos dançar no carnaval
Com alegria e muita animação
Vamos celebrar o nosso ideal
Com muita música e diversão

(closure)
Vamos votar e decidir
Para um futuro melhor construir
Viva o carnaval, viva Fortuna
Com amor e união, vamos à luta.
