[The Orion Islands]

Thank you. I was desperate to get back in and figured a new network owner would work well for my style.
I need to work on this. I will fix the age, class, a ride in experience, slightly alter how he affected Metro

Troy Wilson is still present, and holds his office. Some roleplay with him would be welcome.

OK. Troy is back. What's on the docket, and is he still in office for 2017?

He is in office, and we are currently moving through the conviction trial of President Winston, awaiting Vaquas.

Biography: Born to a small family in Casper, Lawrence lived in a pretty good single parent house. He was valedictorian at Natrona County High School, and graduated sum cum laude from the University of Wyoming, class of 1986. His first job out of college with his business degree was manager of the Casper KFC, where by making sure it was always the cleanest it could be, participating in all special events corporate organized, marketing it locally, and using a strict budget, in one year the franchise soared t number one in all of Wyoming and was even beating some Idaho and Colorado locations. However, he was not fully happy here. He left Casper KFC in 1992 to lead the marketing division of McDonald's. Within a year he was tired of fast food and left to look for work in Hollywood. In 1993, The Walt Disney Company hired him to help re work the Disney Stores. However with the increasing monetary burden placed upon the company by Euro Disneyland, Lawrence saw the writing on the wall and left for CBS in New York. Here, he was given a job as a budget manager.
In 2000, he moved back to California to accept a job as a VP of marketing at 20th Century Fox. By 2002 he was SVP of that division. He left after 5 years due to a feud with the folks at Fox News. For the next 3 years, he had a similar job at Universal. In 2010, after MGM went bankrupt, the creditors tapped Lawrence to lead the company. In 2012, after risking it all for his goal of making MGM a conglomerate, MGM acquired 2 television stations in LA and Houston. These two stations buoyed the volatile film business, allowing MGM to be traded on the NYSE. MGM later added 8 more in 2016 and filed with the FCC for permission to start a small television network. After this was approved, Lawrence ordered the studio to raid ABC, CBS, and NBC for top news talent. A morning show and an weekly news magazine is expected to anchor the new network. Lawrence himself will have a role as an interviewer on MGM News Saturday, after the marketing division begged him to.

Have any characters been outspoken regarding drugs? on any view of the issue harsh lenient whatever

A significant portion of American Dream's early activities were anti-drug in the vein of DARE. Reed has been an outspoken moral crusader against them since well before his entry into politics. (Though the emphasis should be placed on the "moral", he opposed mandatory minimum sentencing and harsh punishments for nonviolent drug offenses both.)

Reed would actually be perfect for what I have in mind but I don't think he would agree

You had bricks thrown at you?
Were you counterprotesting?

[Dentali]

I work for a news station, I was producing for a reporter and we had bricks thrown at us and our car. The police told us they couldn't move up the line because of orders so we retreated behind them

[Prolieum]

Given the delays, and the importance of the matter, it is being considered to accelerate through the Winston trial to the final vote on conviction, if we do not begin moving forward on the questioning shortly. I will be putting up a poll, though I would like votes in the thread as well, given that anyone passing by can skew the results of a OP-based poll.

I think we should RP the whole Winston scandal to the end given its grave importance and the fact that more facts/counterfacts might surface during the trial.

Happy Canada Day, not that any of you care either way

On the opposite end, there were a couple of journalists that I went to university with, they were covering the Baltimore protests and riots for a media organization, and they were actually apprehended by riot police and treated rather harshly (police even pressed bogus charges against them). The Baltimore riots were emblematic of a lot that is wrong with our country. No one group is perfect.

True. Right now, Uly has a "nay"

Cal Reed = Correct

What to do...

What to do...

I may have something for you, Carter, specifically, to do after the conviction and first inauguration are completed.

I am considering having Gene Eric backstab Reed to some extent, and will at least partially determine his course from a meeting, or multiple, with colleagues.
