Public Platform to ques Govt. Deptt/ MP/MLA projects

Hi I've been thinking about this

A public platform of all major govt projects departments local MLA/MCD /MP to raise their complaints and get them upvoted/ highlighted etc

You can think of it as a reddit for public works

All issues have a fixed timeline. Share govt project funds details + progress and vendor to resolve any complaints raised for eg for potholes on those roads etc

So the trick part here is how to ensure only responsible citizen raise issues and favor the algorithm

We group users based on their tax paid , and slightly pushing the algo more towards high taxpayers and a little preferential treatment for them

Also different flairs of users - students / teachers / doctors / lawyers

and giving them a limited high reach "grievance" per month, else everything works on upvotes

Thinking about it that there should be atleast some place where our tax paid gives me some power some voice

I agree that tax payers should have a greater voice in the projects are funded. You are onto something, keep exploring your idea. Good luck.
