Something Is Lurking
When one person sets in motion darkness, very rarely does someone else not end up tangled in the web that is left. In the case of Holt District, we’re not done with the darkness leftover from the plan between a the region’s vice-chair, an insurance company executive and developer. Oh no, we’re not done at all. You see, if there is one corrupt politician at regional headquarters, how likely is it there was only 1?
The vice-chair of the region had a lot of power over many politicians below him. And what’s to say that he couldn’t pick up some blackmail material along the way from a friend or two in the region’s police force? Or perhaps he promised some of the windfall expected to be received to those around him to get them to bend to his wishes. Perhaps there is more lurking deep within the government than we see.
And with proposals floating around to overhaul the process of electing municipal and regional governments to party-based elections, much like the provincial and federal elections… what’s to say he doesn’t have some of his allies working on thwarting that? Could he convince some provincial politicians, those who hold the key to how municipal and regional elections reform, to bend to his wishes? Afterall, it is much easier to get into power without any political-hopefuls being tied to a party. And it is much easier to excert your influence on politicians elected independently than it is across party lines.
But the vice-chair, who has been found out and is currently on trial, couldn’t have possibly had that much influence over his fellow and superior politicians. And surely, any influence has now diminished now that he is on trial and expose as a fraud and corrupt politician… right?
You didn't expect it to disappear that easily, did you?
