- “WE SHOULD ALL BE GETTING BACK ON OUR FEET, AND BREAKING OUT OUR WALLETS”, GOVERNOR SAYS
Governor Townshed, sounding much less congested and speaking from his office today, gives a rather dour morning address to the press on the state of economic affairs. It’s clear as ever that the man elected into office a year ago this month was not chosen for his charisma, nor any sort of likeable optimism. He is, however, staunchly and a shrewd economist. He mentions the projected financial cost of a city slowed to a halt by the outbreak for over two weeks, and plans for budget cuts which have everyone wincing. Taxes are expected to rise, to cover the cost of manufacturing the culpa flu cure at top speed, and purchasing the formula patent from SERO.
Townshed urges the public do your part and help revive the economy. As soon as you are well, Siren’s Port needs you to get on with your lives, get back to work and school, and get back to spending and supporting businesses. The SPPD is commended for keeping the peace thus far, although they will be given orders to use greater force and be aided by supplementary corporate security if disorder, rioting and looting continues at drug stores or hospitals.
- On AGI’s popular late night TV skit-comedy hour, Saturday Night Lulz!, this speech will be parodied by a hilarious balding and thickly-bespeckled impersonator, who provides a memorable droning imitation of “Guv Toolshed’s” mannerisms over a desk piled with accounting ledgers. Other highlights include a segment mocking Jonova’s followers and the growing popularity of their fervent spiritual revival. Portside Team Owner William Herms, sports fanatic and local mogul, appears as tonight’s special guest star, a baseball pitcher in the opening skit, which involves playing a ballgame in a field still covered in triage cots.
- The Underground Mall Association has made plans to reopen their clubs tonight, with hand sanitizing stations and surgical masks passed out at all mall entrances, just in case flu contamination lingers.
- Siren’s Port University has cancelled their delay on Summer Courses, starting the Summer Session next Wednesday, as originally scheduled. Seats still are available for many classes, and online open enrollment will continue until Monday Morning. Interested in taking an accelerated class for the short semester? Check out the University’s diverse course selection over your NV today.
