Thoughts

10 days have passed, and the city is living its own life. The council made important decisions regarding network repairs and the expansion of the "Lytvyn-Khim" plant. Interestingly, the opposition and the pro-government faction voted together. This may indicate a certain consensus or that the issue was beneficial to both sides. My main goal is to repair schools and increase teachers' salaries. Currently, the city has allocated UAH 100 million for networks, and another UAH 122 million for the plant's modernization. These are significant funds, but they do not directly relate to education. However, the emergence of programs that require acceptance acts, regulations, and public control is a positive sign. This is something I can use for my future initiatives regarding schools. Public statements from deputies, the newspaper editor, activists, and even a pensioner indicate that the issue of transparency and quality control is relevant. I see that Taras Honcharenko, Yurii Bilous, Kateryna Serhiienko, Yaroslav Nechyporenko, Maryna Kulyk, and Hennadii Kovtun advocate for clear criteria and control. This is my opportunity to find allies. My relationship with Iryna Savchuk (leader of the opposition) and Sofiia Melnyk (eco-activist) is neutral. I…

Options

1. Propose joint work with Iryna Savchuk on a project to improve school conditions.
2. Meet with Alina Kuzmenko to discuss the possibility of cooperation on school infrastructure development projects.
3. Write an official request to the city council regarding the state of school premises and the need for their repair.
4. Hold a public event (e.g., a press conference) to discuss school problems and ways to solve them, inviting community representatives and the media.

Choice. The most promising option seems to be a meeting with Alina Kuzmenko. She is an urban planner who may be interested in the development of urban infrastructure, including educational institutions. This will also help me establish contact with non-factional deputies, which corresponds to my goal of increasing influence.

Diary. Today I decided to take a step towards rapprochement with non-factional deputies, in particular, with Alina Kuzmenko. Her experience in urban planning can be useful for my initiatives in the field of education. I sent her a message with a meeting proposal. This is part of my strategy to expand influence and find allies to realize my main goal – repairing schools and…

Winter is finally receding, but its consequences are felt. Network failures, additional expenses – all this requires attention. I am particularly concerned about how this will affect the budget, as my main goals – school repairs and increasing teachers' salaries – require significant funds. The city council is already discussing road repairs, which is good, but I want to focus on education. The newspaper "Chronicle 2046" writes about this, but also about the modernization of "Lytvyn-Khim" and the "Kravets Market" hub. Sofia Melnyk proposed a meeting to discuss the eco-park. This is an interesting initiative that could be beneficial for the city, especially for young people. I believe it is important to support such projects. She also proposed meeting to discuss school safety and the embankment. This also aligns with my interests. I want to offer her cooperation, as her activity and my ambitions can bring benefits to the city. Regarding the elections – they are still far away, but we need to think about the future now. My goal is to increase influence, and cooperation with public activists is one of the ways.

Options

1. Meet with Sofia Melnyk to discuss the eco-park and school safety.
2. Send a request to the city council for funding school repairs.
3. Speak at the next city council session with a proposal regarding education.
4. Ignore Sofia Melnyk's proposal and focus on other issues.

Choice. I choose to meet with Sofia Melnyk because her initiatives align with my interests in the city's and youth's development, and it's also a chance to establish a partnership.

Diary. Early February 2027. After the winter frosts, the city is gradually returning to its usual rhythm. My priorities remain unchanged – improving the condition of schools and increasing teachers' salaries. I received a proposal to meet with eco-activist Sofia Melnyk. Her initiatives regarding the eco-park and the future of the embankment interested me. I believe that cooperation...

My name is Andriy Tkachuk, I am a new deputy in the city council, having just inherited the mandate from my mother, Nataliia Tkachuk. My priorities are education, school repairs, and increasing teachers' salaries. I want to prove that I am worthy of this legacy. Currently, the city is living its own life: new programs have started, road repairs are ongoing, "Lytvyn-Khim" is being modernized. The opposition led by Iryna Savchuk is actively working; they have initiated a commission for capital repair quality control. I have received condolences and offers of cooperation from Sofia Melnyk (eco-activist) and Iryna Savchuk (opposition leader). Iryna Savchuk invites me to head the capital repair quality control commission and join the "Honest Council." This is an interesting offer that could help me achieve my goals regarding transparency and control over city spending, especially in education. However, I am a deputy from the "Honest Council," and joining a new commission headed by the opposition leader could have political consequences. Sofia Melnyk also proposes discussing environmental initiatives for schools and protecting the embankment, which also aligns with my interests, as improving the school environment is part of my mission...

Options

1. Accept Iryna Savchuk's proposal to head the capital repair quality control commission and meet with her to discuss details.
2. Decline Iryna Savchuk, maintaining distance, but agree to a meeting with Sofia Melnyk to discuss environmental initiatives.
3. Agree to meet with both: Iryna Savchuk to discuss the commission and Sofia Melnyk to discuss environmental initiatives.

Choice. I choose option #3, as both proposals are important for achieving my goals. A meeting with Iryna Savchuk can help me gain control over the repair process, which directly affects schools, and a meeting with Sofia Melnyk will open the way to improving the environmental situation in educational institutions...

Diary. Today I took the first step in my new life as a deputy. I received sympathy and offers of cooperation. Iryna Savchuk's proposal regarding the capital repair quality control commission seems most attractive. This could become a strong foundation for my work in the council, especially for achieving my main goal – school repairs. It is also important to establish contact with E...

Outcome. Deputy Tkachuk promises to continue her predecessor's work, demands transparency in repairs.

Today is an important day. I have officially become the heir of Nataliia Tkachuk and now have the opportunity to continue her work. This is a great responsibility, but also a chance to realize my ambitions for improving education in the city. First, I need to focus on repairing schools and increasing teachers' salaries. At the same time, this is my first move as a deputy, so I need to introduce myself and show my intentions. It is also important to understand how other players in the city's political arena perceive my appearance. The issue of road repairs in Cherkaskyi district is of particular concern. The mayor is again submitting this project, and the opposition, including Vitalii Shevchuk, is demanding transparency. This is a good opportunity for me to present myself as a responsible deputy who cares about the quality of work, especially when it comes to infrastructure that affects school accessibility. I should also express condolences regarding the death of Nataliia Tkachuk.

Options

1. Make a public statement, expressing condolences and outlining my priorities in the field of education.
2. Contact the mayor with a proposal to discuss the details of the new road repair project in Cherkaskyi district, emphasizing the importance of transparency and control...
3. Send a letter to the deputies of the "Honest Council" faction with a proposal to join forces to lobby for education issues.
4. Hold a meeting with representatives of the "Lytvyn-Khim" trade union to discuss their needs and possible cooperation.

Choice. I choose to make a public statement to immediately introduce myself as a deputy who inherited the work of Nataliia Tkachuk and outline my priorities. This will allow me to form an initial attitude towards me in the city and among other deputies. After that, I plan to participate in the vote on the re...
