Noah Jefferson Ashe hadn't really wanted to attend the funeral. This was the son that he had disowned the moment he came out as homosexual and he had no interest in the lifestyle. He'd only seen his grandchildren - if you could call them that since they weren't related by blood - a handful of times. Nevertheless, his wife persisted. She'd still loved their son despite his lifestyle and she visited him more often than Noah ever did. It would also have appeared poor politically and publicly to not take time off to attend the funeral.
So, here he was in Asheville, North Carolina, attending the funeral of his son. The son he had not seen in many years. His wife wept throughout the funeral and Noah listened as people spoke about his son and his life; people who knew his son better than he did. After the funeral, Noah and his wife - as well as his children and grandchildren all went to his son's house for the wake - something that was to be a personal family time.
Noah and his wife approached their son-in-law, Gavyn Hunt. Grace broke down crying again as she hugged Gavyn, "He loved you, you know, and he's gone too soon." She broke the hug to wipe her eyes with a handkerchief, "We love you Gavyn, and the kids, if there's anything the family can do for you - that we can do for you, don't hesitate to let us know."
Noah awkwardly stood there, not really listening to the words of his wife, until she turned to him, "Noah, why don't you and Gavyn go in Holden's office to talk this out, this is a serious moment and you need to speak with him." She nudged the two into their late son's office, before she went to go talk to one of their daughters. Noah wasn't happy to be in the room with his son-in-law, but tried to maintain respect in a depressing circumstance.
Noah stood at the window, looking out at the backyard, for a few moments before turning to face his son-in-law. He didn't smile but looked worried, looked sad, looked heartbroken despite maintaining composure and trying not to show his sorrow throughout the day. Noah finally speaks, his voice sounding like a whisper, "Was he happy?"

"Get the fuck out of our home." Gavyn said slamming down his fist on the desk "I wasn't going to embarrass you in front of everyone my husband hated you. Your son came to you for comfort and for support and you abandoned him. How dare you show your face here?"
"I don't ever want you here again, nowhere near my children. You will get no forgiveness from me, and you certainly never got it from him."

Di Pietro pulls out the next proposal.
“The next proposal is a plan to progressively reduce benefits, while protecting low and middle earners. The CRFB puts it this way.
“Currently, initial Social Security benefits, or the benefits that a retiree receives in their first year on Social Security, are determined in a way that allows them to grow with wage growth throughout the economy. This option would institute what is known as "progressive price indexing." Workers who earn below the 60th percentile of earnings would have no change to their benefits. Beyond the 60th percentile, an increasing share of benefits would be adjusted by price inflation; workers making just above the 60th percentile would have their benefits adjusted mostly by wage inflation, while top earners would have their benefits adjusted mostly by price inflation.”
Thoughts? This will save the state millions and help reduce certain cuts.”

"Costs of living are too high for that, that threshold will catch up too many people. Since we already made an adjustment to the system we shouldn't be reducing benefits at all, but if we do we can't touj the bottom 95%"

Di Pietro: "We need to make cuts in order to save the program in this state. This is the most moderate option available. This is going to save millions. Do you have a counter proposal? If we are going back on this compromise, then I will roll back the tax hike to 4%, which is what we agreed on, and that is stretching it for the GOP."

"Don't go back to that garbage Governor. You've gone back on your word here more times than I can count and we just finally got that problem settled to try to move on. If you try to pull a fast one like that again, we're walking out of here and you'll be left with the mess that you made yourself sabotaging your own agenda. We agreed to your deal already and you said you'd stick with it. If you try to change it even one more time then we're done here."
