Default Council Meetings & Politics

EUREKA September 12th 1600hrs Temperature: 10 C*
Council Chambers:

Willis wearily stood up , supported by a cane and the medical corporal he always had by his side these days .Shakily he walked to the window, the semblance of an old man .The burn scars were still a fiery red on his neck and scalp -but he was assured that they would fade by his doctors.All the talk in the room and the lengthy discussions mad ehis head hurt .he had seen the looks of horror in the eyes of the other councilmembers as a little blood had seeped through his bandages.It was time to go .The endless logistical calculations and the discussions that more often than not turned into a bickering that was without end tired him more rapidly these days .Even if he was only days out of the bedrest ordered due to his horrible wounds ,he still missed active duty .His scars ached .

Sighing he excused himself and retired .Whatever they came up with regarding the lack of plumbers and adequate piping for the sanitation problems could wait until tomorrow for him . But they had put the question to him though .Just by asking they gave hime more power than he thought he had .It was clear : the council were asking him to relinquish some of his control over the town .He chuckled .To get away from the drone of the boring and nasal voice of a few of the peopl ein ther ehe would once have been prepared to pay a lot more than what they asked .

"We will see" he muttered .
Willis reached for the pillbox , dropping two into his palm and swallowing them fast with a sip of water .The second time today he had gone aginst his doctors recomendations .The faint numbing buzz of the painkillers did feel just right though .



After a long stint in the burnward ,Rupert Willis slowly starts his old routines again .In the weeks he has been absent and in rehabilitation there has been a lot of progress in the council work .

The Council is now trying to organize a nationalization of the available resources for the good of all and asks those with property and assets to consider turning these over to council led agencies such as "SupplyOffice" and the newly formed "California Volunteer Militia" .It is still just 3 guys in an office drawing up plans and discussing matters .

As the most important or at least one of the very important people in th etown , you are asked your opinions .

The nationalization of the goods,materiel and property will be the first step towards creating a functioning democratic self governing community .

The council stresses that cooperation is essential ,and impose no restrictions on you that you do not willingly accept .
