Mary wants her city council to enact a zoning change in her neighborhood because doing so would allow her to rent out part of her home as a separate apartment.Many in the neighborhood are opposed to the zoning change.Mary has the following conversation with Alice, a city council person:

Mary:I must have this zoning change passed.

Alice:How important is it to you?

Mary:Lots of money.Actually, you can use my vacation home at the beach any month next summer - you pick the month - if the zoning change passes.Otherwise, I will have to rent out the beach house.

Alice:We have a deal.I shouldn't have any problem getting the rest of the council to vote with me on this.The zoning change makes sense!

Mary:I know you won't let me down.July's the best month at the beach, but it will be up to you.
