"The NWP is going to establish if possible an arrangement where more national companies contract out their services, merely guaranteeing provision of government resources through those contracts," said Galen. "That's part of their platform. It will take some time but that is part of the vision."
Parker rubbed his thumb around the side of his glass. Aside from that first sip, he had hardly taken a drink of his ice water. "That is vision I can get behind." He responded without a show of happiness. As a man who prided himself on his patience, he could hardly advocate rushing the situation. The cold of the glass was beginning to get uncomfortable so he set it down on a coaster.
"The government is not an impediment save in the case of the City of Harbourtown's government. In Tolly's case, they frankly jumped the gun," Lalery said bluntly. "By their own lawyers not taking our property and commerce laws into consideration. I understand they've hired Solomon Brothers, which is a very reliable firm that does a lot of work with foreign companies in contract law. Let them do their work.What I will do is talk to the Minister of Justice about switch magistrates. The fellow they have overseeing the case right now, he's young and trying to make a name for himself. I'll see to it it is switch to someone who is in the middle of his career, someone sound, ideally appointed by one of my uncles. That do Tolly, do you think?" Lalery asked.
"I am pleased by this. Some judges can be difficult I understand. We have the same problem in Novitera and with the state system it can be a nightmare. Federal law, Soletrek law, Calirma law, Welster law...a headache. Again, whatever you think is best to achieve our goals. I'll also be sure to have every other firm who is having troubles send in business proposals to your staff on how they can...exceed expectations when beholden to the government." He said thoughtfully.
"There is the matter of a possible CPO mission to mitigate the unrest of these elections. Trask initially put in an offer to send resources in that respect. Infantry, federal police special forces, some BIE agents to help monitor crime and violence. Of course, denying such offer could make your government appear uninterested in a peaceful solution. We are not sure whether the Regency government would rather handle this themselves or want to keep the Noviterans out of it for any reason. Let me know now behind closed doors. Would you prefer we quietly withdraw our offer? " Parker asked.
"Also, I made an inquiry before as to Harbortown. Is there anything else you can tell me?"
