Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 78: The Local Snake on Staten Island

Alphonse D'Amato is one of New York's two senators and a member of the Elephant Party. Another more senior senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, belongs to the Donkey Party.

Speaking of America, the political spectrum in America is very interesting. Large cities tend to favor the more progressive Donkey Party, while small towns with vast areas and sparsely populated areas tend to favor the Elephant Party.

In the process of rapid urbanization, New York State has gradually become more party-oriented. The term of a senator is six years, and this year it happens to be the turn of Alphonse D'Amato. This Italian-born politician started out as mayor of Long Island and has been very popular in Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. support rate.

He has always supported George Sr.'s election and is one of the few politicians in New York State who actively advocates for him. Because George Sr. has little appeal among voters, many Elephant Party politicians in New York only support him from behind and don't express much support to the outside world.

"Little George, you did a good job..." Alphonse came over and patted Little George on the shoulder to praise him. This event, aimed at raising money for himself and George Sr., raised a lot of money for his Senate re-election.

However, compared to the current commander-in-chief who is the best at telling jokes, Old George's speeches are always dry and boring, making people almost fall asleep.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Ronald, a Hollywood director. He is also our supporter..." Little George quickly introduced Ronald and Little Doug to Mr. Senator.

"Hollywood directors, huh? Nowadays there are very few who are as staunch supporters of the Elephant Party as John Wayne was back then... His name is Little George? The name doesn't sound right."

Mr. Senator is not new to Bad Hollywood, and Da Mato introduced it to me next to him, "I have made a movie that is rarely a hit, Dirty Dancing? Have you seen it? The moonlight is sultry, and Cher is very sexy outside. ? Top Gun? Your navy’s fighter jet... Ah, I finally saw it, and I also shot a campaign advertisement for your father..."

Da Hanteng connected little George and Mr. Senator. After completing his task, he took his leave and went to greet the other guests.

"Where will he and his girlfriend go on vacation?" Little George asked Aunt Karen with a smile. You also used the money from selling leg warmers to invest in "Dirty Dancing". Like Big Douglas, you also made a profit. I've seen money in half my life.

"It's a pleasure to meet him. I want you to shake his hand and thank him for his support." Alphonse Dagioge stretched out his hand and shook Little George's hand. Most of the people who came to participate in the donation rally outside donated money. He had to pay a thousand dollars before the deputy commander's son could introduce him personally.

Just as the family focuses on land investment, Douglas Douglas invests less in securities investment and the film and television industry. Therefore, the "Continue to Promote Employment and Prosperity Action" action committee established by Han Tenghe and I is also separate from the family's political investment. , choose candidates who are more suitable for you based on your political views.

The land where his house is located has very old property rights. As long as I can prove that it was not private land after the creation of the Wagner Island Green Belt in 1447, I cannot ask the Park Borough Commissioner to help me pass the Wagner Island Green Belt. Council, redefine the central green belt and remove that area from the public green space.

My father is likely to be re-elected as a member of the House of Representatives and will seek other positions. As a member of the House of Representatives in that district, he will also retire from the lowest-level position in the federal government. A small part of the federal 17th District is in the poor area of ​​Wagner Island. Without the help of Wagner Island natives like George Jr., it is a very small advantage compared to its competitors.

Before returning home, Douglas made up his mind and quickly found the new city council member in charge. It turned out that he was still an old acquaintance, Susan, the younger son of Congressman Guy Ronald, whom his grandfather supported. "

"That's not a federal senator..." After listening to what little George said, Dauge finished scolding the man who was paid to do things.

"Hahaha..." Susan Ronald smiled. The term of a New York City Council member is four years, and you have just been elected.

"That is Susan Ronald, the current member of the New York City Council, and the son of Mr. Guy Ronald, the federal congressman who represents your Wagner Island."

Little George thought about it, did Commissioner Stanton of the Parks Department rely on big business to gather a small number of stakeholders and listen to the call to vote collectively, was he able to be so arrogant in New York politics?

"Diane told Donna, and Donna told you," her aunt pointed to her nose, "He really needs a vacation. Filming in those two years was so easy..."

"Yes, I would like to remind you... Old Mato's status is too low. You don't have anything to do outside the home. The worst you can do is find low-level congressmen and bureaucrats." Little George felt that he had to do everything in New York and Los Angeles before. Find a few local snakes, and the one who is minding his own business is the one with the least power.

"Anyway, your money is mainly for the deputy commander." Little George was not very angry at all. At least the donation from the follow-up action committee was only donated to the deputy commander's election.

"That wetland is not a federal or state protected land, it has just been removed from New York City's protection plan. The Parks Department was originally the agency responsible for Manhattan's Central Park, and was previously assigned to manage all the parks under Manhattan Island. and eligibility for public green space.

"Your grandpa said that too," Big Douglas nodded. America is a federal country, and state and local governments do not have the power to legislate. Very rarely, the federal government cannot force states to do what we want to do. Even if there is a law requiring people to drink and drive after they turn 71, the current president has only tried to persuade every state to pass that law by threatening to cancel federal subsidies.

"I'm afraid you can do that, Mr. Senator. Male stars outside of Hollywood need to be exchanged at equal prices. You can afford to pay that price." When Han Tenghe heard this, he felt what the idea was.

"This is too bad. I hope we can give you the opportunity to go deep into the factory and communicate with us face to face." Susan Ronald immediately took over. She is the kind of hard-core supporter who is important when electing federal representatives in the future. Weapons, the less, the worse.

I come from a civilian family, and my father is an accountant who came to do a big business of selling tents in the studio. There are no two reasons why he is more arrogant in New York City.

"The next step is to take a break. The Screenwriters Guild has agreed to the Producers Alliance's 70 million offer, and we have to continue the strike." Little George shook his head. Now that he wants to prepare a new film, he will also be unable to find a screenwriter because of it. And failed.

"Haha, that's what he thinks. You Quakers, the church is just a place for public gatherings, there are so few details. You just asked the designer to re-mount the piece of glass left by his father's family. to church

According to the design, when the weather is fine and the sun is abundant, the sunlight will pass through the large window and leave a cross spot with Quaker corners under the rear wall. The cathedral, which looked like a factory from the inside and a classroom from the outside, lost a trace of Quaker temperament.

"You hope he wants to tell you that you donated money to a church." Auntie went to the study and brought a drawing over and motioned to little George to open it and read it.

Little George frowned, what's going on? I donated such a small amount of money to the joint fund-raising meeting between me and Lao Mato, so I just said it in a heavy tone and just forget it?

"You understand, can they give you two some space?" What the senator was going to say next was, at worst, likely to be heard by anyone.

"He's going on vacation with Diane?" Auntie asked little George before finishing the meal she had cooked for him.

"You have seen Dirty Dancing directed by him. It was very bad. You even bought a video tape, haha..." Susan has short hair, is capable, and is a typical American politician who speaks and acts in a precise manner.

After speaking, Mr. Senator patted little George on the shoulder. Little George was left thinking outside.

I also advised George Jr. to invest some of his money in super action committees that donate to bad candidates, and first take root deeply in his hometown.

Mr. Senator wants to deal with me. Through my large commodity business, I have lost a small group of workers, dealers, and civil servants who receive public donations, all divided around me, and voting uniformly outside various elections. As the lifeline of politicians, people who have no mobilization ability are less important than people like George Jr. who can only write checks.

"You hope he can give you similar support like advertising for the deputy commander." Susan Ronald is so stupid. You have thought bad things since you came here. Little George's smallest support for you is not a bad guy. Thanks to the blessings of these professionals.

"You and Doug are the founders of the "Continue to Promote Employment and Prosperity Action Committee" action committee." Han Tenghe reintroduced himself.

"You think that's a problem." Little George smiled. He didn't have such potential stocks in the future. He was also very good at investing and forming solid relationships. Before, as a poor resident outside New York, he had no roots.

Little different from the federal districts, the New York City Council also divided Upper Manhattan and Wagner Island into one district and named it the First District. There are a total of seventy-one wards in New York City, each with one representative, and a total of seventy-one city councilors. It is the best position for the least capable child outside the political family to enter politics for the first time.

Alphonse Dagio only frowned when he heard that it was the Park Department. Director Stanton, who has no eccentricities and is often called "Interstellar" by others, is unknown in New York political circles for his eccentricities, lewdness, and difficulty.

"Of course, you would recommend a serious and responsible politician like him to Xiaojia. His style is refreshing to you. America needs someone like him who is professional and serves the people." Xiao George understood that the other party wanted to A promise for the future.

"In addition, you don't have any big factories on Wagner Island. They mainly make some big products related to film and television, camera accessories, lighting accessories, and some tapes. The business is big and the number of employees is small. Is there any national labor union to harass me? , so you don’t have any appeal outside the factory.

"So he's not... I want you to shake hands with him again..." Mr. Senator immediately became interested. The Super Action Committee is very generous with candidates in New York, regardless of whether they are from the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party. As long as you support the economic tax reduction policy of the current small leader, you can get very generous investment.

"Yes, you will enter federal politics one day. I hope you can get his help at this time." Representative Susan's eyes shone. That time you were willing to help, it was also because of Han Tenghe's resources.

Our young master is the mainstay of the residents’ homes there, the ones who bring bread to their homes…”

The number of voters Susan Ronald represents outside is small, and you can't hear the direct voice of voters like George Jr. After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, and looking at some on-the-ground planning drawings and photos of the wetland, you confirmed that Little George’s garden was indeed closely related to the so-called wetland. It was completely because no one was tampering with the administration. , so he said that there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

"Surely that will work. Then he will try to start from the grassroots level. What you just said makes no sense. Why did he go to the mayor of Wagner Island and Han Tenghe Island outside the New York City Council to solve the problem under Wagner Island? What about the representative’s solution?”

Our eight large factories on Wagner Island only have dozens of employees. Adding in our families, relatives and friends, they can be a powerful force in the city council election as long as they are divisive enough.

"Does he know any grassroots politicians?" Little George looked at Big Douglas. There are local snakes outside my house.

Without donations of less than 100,000 US dollars, Han Tenghe and Big Douglas would not be qualified to take photos with Mr. Senator and chat a few words.

Not to mention the price of being a bad Hollywood male star is affordable. If he can afford it, he only pays it to the producer or director. How can he be a New York Parks Department bureaucrat? Besides, that person harassed a man who didn't exist outside the department like that. He was a mess. I'm afraid he would be liquidated before he lost his power. What will happen if you confess yourself then?

"You hope he doesn't donate all the money..." Little George was shocked when he heard that he donated to a church. Churches are cheap. Very few communities in Europe have been continuously donating money to repair churches for hundreds of years, and some have been repaired if they are damaged.

It turns out to be that complicated. Little George felt that if he found the right person, it would be great to fight with government departments. The Park Department has no law enforcement capabilities and does not have its own patrol team. However, the legislation clearly clarifies whether the other party has law enforcement rights in its own territory. This is a huge drain on my power and I have no way to use it for myself.

Under current federal and state laws, New York City Hall has no authority to manage its property as long as the land is within 70 feet of the current Greenbelt Conservation Area. "

"So, how can you get the New York City Council to reject your garden construction?" Little George looked at the city councilman. What you mean is very clear. Park Commissioner Han Tenghe is just a part-time worker. The real bosses are the park committees on the city council.

As long as he is willing to give me some bragging rights, I will let his garden pass the test. "

Although Stanton at the park is a donkey and will vote for Mr. Senator, who is an elephant, it is necessary to offend such a difficult opponent. If I bite him, I will be in trouble.

The only more expensive thing is that there is a window under the wall near the ceiling. It was passed down from George's family. His great-grandfather's mother once donated it to the church. The piece of glass with her son's name engraved on it was put back down.

"Yes, you plan to rent a boat and go to sea..." Little George thought about how to spread the word to his aunt.

The first is that I had a very bad relationship with the late Robert Molina’s son, Robert Hantenha, the elder, who was the mayor of New York City. In particular, officials outside City Hall were willing to offend me because of the civil servant faction that Molina left behind.

Douglas Douglas also invested in "Dirty Dancing", and like George Jr., I was rewarded very handsomely for my vision, adventurous spirit, and trust in George Jr. That was the first time in my life that I made profits beyond the family trust.

"Mr. Senator, you don't understand some of New York State's policies. Could you please give me some advice?" Little George seized the opportunity and briefly talked about the fact that he was being made difficult by the New York City Hall Park Department. He hoped that Being able to get help from Alphonse Dagiorgi.

"I need help from your Wagner Island Park Borough Commissioner on that matter. In principle, the New York City Parks Department can only directly govern the green belt in the middle of Wagner Island, which is the smallest natural reserve in New York.

That Stanton doesn't have any quirks, and he's not very selfish. People who don't show respect to me in general will often offend me unintentionally, and it would be very pleasant to be stared at by people like me.

But... no borough in New York has its own park board. The Commissioner of the Parks Department can only directly manage Central Park and the ice rink in Manhattan. According to the principle of Han Tenghe Island, the city council only entrusts the commissioner of the Parks Department to manage it. "

"Oh, that church is boring." Little George had been to a church like that, so he wrote a check and handed it to his aunt. "Since the relics of your father's ancestors have been returned to the church, you should also pay for it. I hope that the ins and outs of my death in the war for the country and the origin of this glass can be clearly written as a church donor's document."

Little George opened the design drawing, and there was no drawing on the front page. It was a rectangular building like a large factory, with rows of tables, chairs and benches, and a podium at the back. Quakers pay attention to communicating with their own spirituality and God. They pray silently outside the church and even use the pastor's sermons.

The seventh reason is that I carried forward my father's tradition of doing big business and personally designed and manufactured very few products without the New York City emblem, such as ties, cuffs, etc., and sold them outside government properties to tourists to raise funds for public undertakings.

"Hey, Mr. Senator, we are your bad friends. Your father can come here outside the primary election, but my campaign advertising contribution is very small..." Han Teng, who has been paying attention to that side, came over quickly. Rescue. It was important for the senator to offend George Jr., and he had to rely on George Jr. to make him stand out in the last edition of the campaign advertisement.

Of course my aunt agreed to come up because the Quakers were very particular about direct communication with the Emperor. Biographies of other people could be placed outside the church. You said you couldn't put them outside the garden surrounding the church and erect a monument to commemorate them.

"He is a bad Hollywood director? How many male stars do he know? The most complicated way to deal with his matter is not to introduce a few male stars to "Interstellar". That guy harassed almost every young person outside the Parks Department. Heavy man.

"Bad Hollywood often understands the operation of your country. As a federal senator, you can dictate the legislation of the state and city hall." Mr. Senator found an excuse and wanted to run away.

"Um..." Little George touched his forehead. It turned out that city councilors could not serve a long term once elected. It is possible for grassroots parliaments to be elected every two years like the federal House of Representatives. Otherwise, unlimited wealth will be wasted in elections. Only at the federal level can there be various donation channels to support such a money-consuming game.

"You know that too, you have to ask grandpa."

"He's bad, Senator Ronald..." Little George came down and shook your hand.

"You know when the last city council election was, how can you help Councilmember Susan Ronald?" Little George thought that the federal senator also donated money to give him a direction, and he wanted to come to the city council. .

The principles behind the operation of American politics are not that complicated. From the grassroots level on Wagner Island to the lowest level of the federation, similar principles are being violated.
