Identify any fallacies in the following passage either by naming them or, where they seem not to conform to any of the patterns described in the text, by giving a brief explanation of why the fallacious reasoning is irrelevant to the point at issue.
City supervisor: Schools need support, yes, but, unfortunately, to balance the city budget we need to reduce spending by around $13 million. Some of that reduction will have to come from the schools.
City resident: I don't see why. You supervisors should visit schools and talk to teachers. Teachers already work sixty to seventy hours a week. When other people are home relaxing in front of their TV set, Mr. and Mrs. Teacher are grading tests, attending meetings, or rearranging their classroom. The next time you are out fishing or playing golf, think of teachers at home preparing for next week's classes. They work very hard for very little money and rarely get any recognition for the job they've done.
