摘要：The "Thyss Town Simulation" was developed in response to 1995 National Public Policy Education Conference evaluations, which indicated a desire for the inclusion of interactive and hands-on sessions. This Public Issues Education (PIE) teaching tool provides an opportunity for session/workshop participants to experience the use of resource information and local decisionmaking interactions in order to address local fiscal issues. It provided 1996 conference attendees an opportunity to experience one local decisionmaking process. It created a situation for attendees to increase their understanding of local fiscal factors and to experience in small measure the involvement of diverse stakeholders.
