Blackstone Code Chapter 520: Fight for the Commonwealth
"Me?", Ferrar was still driving the car very attentively. He glanced at the other car behind this car. The person in the cab came out with Lynch, guessing that It should be a role like Lynch's bodyguard.
At this moment he was a little dazed, as if his first meeting with Lynch was not long ago, Lynch put a check for five thousand dollars on the table and asked him for some solution.噺⒏⑴The fastest full text of 祌文んττρs:/м.χ8㈠zщ.còм/
In a flash, has Lynch developed to the point where he has to carry a bodyguard with him?
He came back to his senses, "It's alright, in fact, everyone knows that I'm just a..." He pursed his lips into a helpless smile, and shook his head, "...It's just a transition, I'm also I have no right to complain, but thank you, the governor, and the mayor for your recommendation."
If nothing else, the next mayor of Sabine, the current mayor Langdon, will announce his resignation as mayor after the state election, and recommend Ferrara to succeed him and become The new mayor of Sabine.
With Langdon's recommendation, the governor's support, and Lynch's affirmation, Ferrar's election as mayor has almost no resistance, but he will not be the mayor for long.
Landon had a bit of a disagreement with the governor before. The governor wanted to give the job of mayor of Sabine to his brother, but Mayor Langdon did not agree. He used his favor in exchange for the party. support.
This also led to a bit of conflict between the two. Now they have begun to resolve the conflict to a limited extent because of Lynch's relationship. Mayor Langdon is also willing to give up the position of mayor and change to a new member of the House of Representatives. Work.
In exchange, his staff and secretary, Ferrar, would temporarily become the acting mayor of Sabine, but only for two years.
After two years, Ferrar will resign from his current job, citing his incompetence as mayor of a city, and elect a state senator to replace him, and then the state legislature will hold two hearings , and finally judged, the state senator can take over Ferrara's job, become the new mayor of Sabine, and start a new mayoral campaign.
The reason for such an arrangement has nothing to do with his identity. He has a very general relationship with the governor, and it is not because he is another nephew in Adelaide, and he and the governor are also relatives. Fair decision, that is impossible!
Isn't being a relative of the governor unable to contribute to the people of the Commonwealth?
Ridiculous!
In short, this satisfies everyone's needs and completes the process of finally ushering in a new mayor. Ferrara will also promote him as a cadre in the party because of his two-year experience in the ruling party, and the next election will be held. At that time, if he can find some people, such as capitalists like Lynch, to support him to run for election, then it is possible for him to really go to power, become a real mayor, and step into the political arena.
In short, the whole process does not seem to be very complicated, but it is mixed with too many interests. For example, a state senator who should be a brother with the governor. After he became the mayor, there was an additional state senator. Location.
Everyone knows that the governor is seeking more re-elections, and the position of a state senator can definitely put a force on his side.
Don't underestimate the state senators. Under the relatively autonomous system of each state implemented by the federal government, the state legislature is actually not much different from the Congress. They can also initiate, submit, review and vote for various local bills. , but their influence is not as great as that of Congress, and they can only affect themselves and the surrounding areas.

From a purely practical point of view, it's not too bad.
In fact, there are more unseen benefits exchanges behind this. People can only see the new mayor suddenly resign, and then a new mayor comes.
"This is actually not bad, at least I don't need to participate in the election!", Ferrar had a smile on his face when he said this. He was not really afraid of running. In fact, he looked at the clean streets around him. Can understand where his confidence comes from.
The unprecedented economic recession has made front-line politicians like "mayors" a high-risk industry. This is no longer the time to consider whether a politician has qualified political literacy. The question now is no matter who comes!
Let one die and the other, which is why the Conservative Party retreats in an all-round way. The last president left a mess that they couldn't clean up themselves, so they simply didn't take the initiative to compete, and retreated to advance.
When people find out that the Progressive Party has no specific purpose, they will stand up and compete actively. At that time, the economy has almost begun to improve, and people will think, should they try another ruling party?
At that time, they can stand in the sun and receive cheers from people, but now, not the time.
But no one is that stupid these days, taking over a mess and proving to people that you're just as bad as your predecessor doesn't really make any sense other than making yourself a laughing stock, not to mention Mayor Langdon's nomination and the governor's blowout , and the support of businessmen like Lynch, if someone stands up to compete with Ferrara, how stupid it is!
Of course, escorts are not counted. The Federation is a highly free country, and fairness and justice are what people seek.
"I'm about to take that position, but it makes me a little uneasy. You know, it was someone else who made the decision before, not me. Now it's me who makes the decision. I have to face the good or the bad myself. As a result, I've been feeling a lot of stress lately."
He turned the steering wheel slowly, and he did not ignore road safety or pay attention to the vehicles behind in the process of communicating with Lynch, "Sometimes I have a momentary desire to back off, but I can't do that. ."
Ferrara is indeed under a lot of pressure. Although the situation in the city has improved, the unemployment rate is still high. Ordinary citizens who get food to get by.
Mayor Langdon dared to confront the governor's private "suggestions" before, insisting on running for mayor and winning the election. Now his departure cannot be said to be a compromise, but more likely to "resign" .
The situation is so bad, if you do it well, then everyone will be happy, but more likely it is not good enough, and it will be more embarrassing to be kicked off the stage, so he withdraws in time, and still retains the victory .
From the perspective of the actual power held by individuals, the mayor is obviously higher than the members of the House of Representatives, but from the perspective of the individual's influence on the whole society, the latter has greater influence, and the timing of the transformation is economical and political value. Also more.
The mayor has a way to make a move, but Ferrara has no possibility or room to retreat, so he can only bite the bullet.
The two chatted, and the car slowly parked outside the city hall. Mayor Langdon did want to leave, but before he actually left, he was still the mayor of the city, so Lynch should have come first visit him.
"Congratulations..."
As soon as he entered the door, the mayor took the initiative to greet him and held Lynch's hand cordially, "I knew that choosing you was the most correct decision, and it took just over a year for the club to get it back. A champion, they also held a small-scale celebration yesterday, it was very lively, you can watch the replay of the news, there will be introductions."
He said as he walked to the sofa with Lynch and sat down, "Sports are very useful for revitalizing the morale of the citizens, at least people will not look as bad as they used to, you did a good job, I did a good job yesterday. Still talking to Ferrara about these things and thinking about encouraging more people to push their careers in sports."
Ferrar, who was doing service work for the two, nodded. He placed two glasses of wine in front of them. Mayor Langdon pointed to the sofa next to him, "You sit too."
Originally, there was no place for Ferrara on this occasion, but considering that he will soon take over the position of Mayor Langdon, the mayor needs to give him corresponding respect.
No one knows how everyone's development will be in the past. It is necessary to give him respect, not for the sake of their cooperation in the past, but for the sake of Ferrara's youth.
After talking for a while, Lynch turned the topic to Mayor Langdon's whereabouts, "I heard your whereabouts have been decided?"
Originally, this was a very embarrassing topic. Before that, the governor could not guarantee that he would be able to help him move to the House of Representatives. A member of the House of Representatives suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized~IndoMTL.com~ That is an old gentleman who has dedicated his life to the Commonwealth. He is already seventy-five years old, and he is still struggling to work hard in his post.
The doctor checked his body and thought that he could not continue to contribute to the Federation. He was very sad, but he also got a new opportunity because of this. The governor immediately activated his energy to let the old congressman who has dedicated his life to the Federation, Elect Mayor Langdon to Congress as his successor to take his place.
Of course, this is only a relatively simple statement, but it is actually very complicated. After Mayor Langdon resigns, he will first work in the name of an assistant to help the silently dedicated old gentleman for about a month or two. Get acquainted with the House of Representatives workflow.
Then the old gentleman, who is eager to contribute light and heat to the Federation, will say that he is really not good enough. After at least two rounds of voting, the state house to which he belongs will elect the old gentleman's successor, which is very likely to be Langdon, who silently helped him with his work during his illness.
As long as he can pass two public defenses held by the Congressional Election Committee and there is no objection from more than half of the people, then Langdon will represent another state in the House of Representatives and become an honorable member of the House of Representatives and a member of the people.
This involves a political exchange between the governor and another state, so it's definitely more than just saying it.
Now Mayor Langdon seems to want to understand, he is not too young, the governor is unlikely, instead of continuing to shrink here to waste his time for a little bit of power, it is better to go to Congress to serve the federal government People serve!
At least, this way he can have a happy old age without having to worry about money!
