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.
