How to setup an article approval system?

Hello all,
I am building a Drupal site for a neighborhood committee. What we want is for any residents (registered users) to be able to submit "proposals". Once a proposal is submitted, it is placed into the "In Review" category, until it is reviewed by the admins, who will then delete it, or move it to the "For Review" category.
How would I go about setting this up?
I'm not really sure what's
I'm not really sure what's the difference between "in review" and "for review". If you just want users to submit articles for approval prior to publishing, you can do that with drupal core. Just set the default to unpublished in the content type, and whoever you give the administer nodes permission can approve them and make them published.
If you need more than published/unpublished, you can look at http://drupal.org/project/workflow and http://drupal.org/project/modr8

Sorry, my bad. Let me say
Sorry, my bad. Let me say "For Review" is for new articles not yet approved by admin, and "Revision" for those approved. From there, the proposals will go through a whole series of categories as they're changed.
So what I need is a way to restrict the "category" taxonomy selection from new users, and only make it visible to admins, who can then change it as needed. I am still getting used to Drupal, can someone give me some info as to how this can be done with core please?
