United states tax collector

Hearing this compliment, Laurie not only did not feel complacent or happy, but his face became serious.

Because he knew very well that David was not so free to come here to praise him, and there must be some other purpose.

"As for the city of Reno, although I haven't been there yet, from all aspects of the information, under the governance of Lieutenant Governor Lowry..."

"Etc., etc……"

Laurie couldn't listen anymore and interrupted directly: "Chief Tax Officer David, I don't think you have the leisure to come here to praise my contribution to the governance of various cities, right?"

David leaned back on the sofa, looked directly at Laurie with sharp eyes, and said, "What I mean is, with your ability, Lieutenant Governor Laurie, if Nevada is left to you to govern, I want to develop it." It will be even better!”

Hearing this, Laurie's expression suddenly changed.

The conflict between Stevenson and David is now known to many people in Nevada, and as the lieutenant governor of the state government, he is naturally aware of it.

And now David said that if Nevada is handed over to him to govern, what does this mean?

It was obvious that David wanted to overthrow Stevenson so that he, the lieutenant governor, could take over the position of governor!

This can explain why David said it would be better for Nevada to be governed by him!

Because only when he becomes the governor can he truly have the power to govern the entire state!

Thinking of this, Laurie's expression gradually became calm. He first sneered, and then replied in a sarcastic tone: "Taxmaster David, I admit that you have some abilities, but you are still a little too naive. You I have no idea how powerful a governor is and how much support there is behind Stevenson!"

If only Stevenson could be brought down so easily.

That would not mean that he could sit firmly on the throne of Nevada governor for nearly 8 years, and his deputy governor would not be suppressed everywhere.

David was not angry because of the other party's sarcasm. Instead, he replied calmly: "Nicosson has a lot of energy and a lot of support behind him, but what is the final result?"

"A few reporters can bring him down. Lieutenant Governor Lowry, do you think that David, I, is not as good as a few reporters?"

David's words were actually telling the other party that Nixon was still the president of the United States at the beginning, but in the end it was not because of the Watergate incident that he fell.

No matter how powerful Stevenson is now, can he still be bigger than Nixon?

Laurie was indeed choked by these words, and for a moment he really didn't know how to refute.

After a while, he replied: "This is different. Looking at the entire history of the United States, the Watergate incident is an extremely rare event."

David replied: "So Lieutenant Governor Lowry, do you think that the incidents that happened in the city halls of Henderson and Sparks are commonplace?"

"this……"

Laurie choked again.

It is also extremely rare in the United States for a city hall employee to be arrested and sentenced to death by the Internal Revenue Service for tax evasion.

And in this extremely rare event, David completed two things by himself, so what else could he say?

"Lieutenant Governor Laurie, let me be frank. Now you have a golden opportunity in front of you. That is to cooperate with me. I will do my best to help you ascend to the throne of governor. How about it? You can't be willing to live in this state all the time. In Stevenson’s shadow, right?”

Laurie's expression changed again, and then he immediately asked: "Help me ascend to the throne of governor? How do you want to do it?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

Laurie was silent.

Of course he was not willing to be suppressed by Stevenson all the time, but he was also worried that if this matter could not be done, he would definitely be in bad luck.

Laurie is very aware of Stevenson's vindictive character. Even if he dares to covet the governor's throne, he dares to join forces with the IRS to get him. If that fails, Stevenson will definitely take him to prison. Deadly.

But as David said, this matter may be an opportunity for him.

After all, David's ability lies here. Since he can punish the officials in the city hall, maybe... he can also find a way to punish Stevenson!

If he really succeeds, then he can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

Because according to American law, the governor needs to run for election, so even though he is now the lieutenant governor, he is only one step away from the governor.

However, there are many lieutenant governors who are just one step away from becoming governors, but will never reach the throne of governor.

And if Stevenson is really brought down now, then according to the provisions of the federal constitution, he can directly skip the election and take over the governor's seat!

Although Stevenson's term is coming soon, he won't be able to serve for long even if he takes over.

But as long as he becomes the governor, his exposure and resources are certainly not comparable to those of the lieutenant governor, and he can use this to build momentum for re-election.

Faced with such temptation, he would naturally not be willing to give up.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind for a long time, Laurie suddenly thought of something, changed the subject and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"whats the matter?"

"Two days ago, I heard that your IRS brought back five FBI agents. Some media reported that these five agents were suspected of tax evasion, but it gradually calmed down. What happened?"

This matter has been of particular concern and curiosity to many people in Carson City over the past two days.

Because according to David's past tactics and character, such as when dealing with officials from the Sparks and Henderson city halls.

As soon as they are caught, an announcement will be issued immediately, and then they will be sent to court for trial the next day.

However, in the past two days, the five FBI agents were obviously brought back under David's instruction. But in the end, not only did nothing happen, they were also released.

This is clearly not David's character.

As a politician, Laurie certainly saw something fishy in it.

"Do you really want to know?"

Laurie nodded immediately.

"It's simple, because they are already members of our IRS!"

"oh?"

Of course Laurie understood the underlying meaning of David's words and asked again: "Are you talking about the five agents?"

"No, the entire FBI system in Nevada!"

"What did you say!"

Laurie's expression changed drastically, and the muscles all over his body tensed up instantly.

"I mean, the entire FBI system in Nevada!"

"This is impossible!"

After the shock, Laurie immediately questioned.

There is no doubt that the national tax has great power, but the fact that the FBI can become a world-famous law enforcement agency is naturally not a vegetarian.

And David's ability is indeed great, but he believes that he can handle those five agents, but he can't believe that he can handle the entire FBI system in Nevada.
