- Policy Claim: Citizens of Lincoln should approve of the Mental Health Court proposal to help later benefit the rest of Nebraska
- There are no mental health courts in the state of Nebraska (factual)
- Those with mental health issues are not treated the same in standard court and after sentencing (definitional)
- Allowing the introduction of mental health courts will lead to better treatment for those who are disregarded by the law due to their mental health (causal)
- The treatment they will receive will be better than throwing them into a prison untreated and un-cared for (definitional)
- Treating those who suffer from mental health disorders makes them more well-adjusted to life without the same punishment normal court would provide (value)
- It is unfair for those with mental health issues to be tried the same as those without (value)
- Paying for an individual to go through court is cheaper than sending them to jail (factual)
- The people of Lincoln should embrace this new bill to spread courts across the state (value)
