Chapter 175: Nevada is in trouble
The Governor’s Mansion.
After hearing this, Eugene and Stevenson, especially Stevenson, their expressions suddenly froze.
He knows very well what kind of old fox Lawson is, and now that the other party has used the word "violation" to attack him, he must have a heavyweight in his hand.
What exactly is it?
As the entire state of Nevada was in uproar, KNPR-FM television station was on hand.
At this time, the host Milton had calmed down and asked: "Mr. Lawson, what violation do you mean by the governor?"
"Golden Ears Bridge!"< br>
Hearing these five big words uttered by Lawson, the people watching throughout Nevada trembled again.
Reno and Ourui, Nevada, are originally at the border. However, because they are located between mountains and rivers, the transportation between the two cities has always been very inconvenient.
Therefore, as early as seven or eight years ago, the local city hall proposed to the state government that a bridge be built across a local river. This would not only promote trade between the two places, but also facilitate the travel of citizens of the two cities.
But when the local city hall had already chosen the plan and even the name of the bridge, and submitted the proposal to the state government, it failed to get approval from the state government for many years.
It will not be until November 2021 that the state government's approval is passed, and the construction of the Golden Ears Bridge is officially started.
But generally speaking, although the approval of this bridge has been delayed for many years, now that construction has begun, there is not much wrong with it.
So at this time, neither Milton nor the other viewers in Nevada who were watching, understood what Lawson meant by lifting the bridge.
But others don’t understand because they don’t understand.
At the Governor's Mansion, Eugene and Stevenson had secret thoughts about the bridge when they heard about it.
It is said that one’s family knows one’s own affairs.
This bridge was passed under their hands. Of course, they know better than anyone else what tricks there are.
Thinking of this, Stevenson looked at Eugene with a grim expression and asked, "What's going on? Have the details of this bridge been leaked?"
In his opinion, since Lawson said he had violated regulations before and now brought the bridge out, the problem must lie here.
"This...I...I..."
Eugene especially wanted to say, how could I know?
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
But there was no need for him to answer, because Milton on the TV started to speak again.
KNPR-FM TV station, Milton asked: "Mr. Lawson, do you know what's wrong with the Golden Ears Bridge?"
"The local city hall began proposing to build this bridge many years ago. , but it has been repeatedly rejected by the state government... Oh no, to be precise, it has been repeatedly rejected by Governor Stevenson. Do you know why? "
"Why?"
< br>Milton asked the question that all of Nevada now wants to know.
“It’s very simple, because this bridge is the proposal of the local city hall. If it had been agreed at that time, the credit would only be attributed to the local city hall, not to Stevenson. On!”
"After that, Stevenson sent out his own inspection team and engineers to re-plan the bridge."
"And this plan was a few years later. At this time, all the people in charge of the matter at the local city hall had been replaced. "
"As you know what happened later, Stevenson personally stood up and issued a statement to the media, claiming. Originally, there were many hidden dangers in the local city hall's plan for the bridge, but after their state government's reconstruction, the bridge was completely eliminated. So in the end, this credit naturally fell on him..."
Lawson’s words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone watching.
If this is the case, then Governor Stevenson is simply shameless and plagiarized the achievements of the local city hall.
"Oh, by the way, in fact, this credit cannot be said to fall entirely on him. After the city hall officials who were originally responsible for the project left office, Stevenson deliberately replaced them with his own people. This credit naturally also Count them in!”
“Afterwards, these officials specially sent a reward of 1 million US dollars to thank our Governor Stevenson. This is the most important thing, and it is also my reward. Talk about the violation!"
"What..."
If Lawson's words just surprised the people present at the TV station and the audience, then hearing this 1 million later, they felt as if a bomb exploded in their ears.
The reason is simple.
Stevenson sent an inspection team and engineers to redesign the bridge. The most you can say is that he is greedy for credit.
However, accepting bribes is different.
This is a completely illegal act!
Governor’s Mansion.
"Fake Squid, how did he know, how did he know!"
After hearing 1 million, Stevenson immediately lost his composure and even cursed.
"Don't get excited about the governor yet. Although he knows the specific amount, his words are unfounded. Without evidence, we can send him a lawyer's letter now and accuse him of defamation!"
Besides Eugene's words actually calmed Stevenson down.
That’s true.
The United States is a country that values evidence. Without evidence, it is meaningless to let the other party make wild claims. KNPR-FM television station.
Milton recovered from the shock again and asked: "Mr. Lawson, Stevenson is the governor of our state of Nevada. He said he received 100 yuan from this bridge. Is there any actual evidence of Wan’s bribe?”
“Of course, the words are unfounded.”
Lawson calmly picked up what David gave him. The document was unfolded and presented, and he said: "This is an investigation report about this bridge. It contains very detailed records of funds and personnel. Please read it carefully!"
The scene was suddenly stunned. It got quiet.
The viewers watching in front of the TV all held their breath and watched the investigation report intently.
As the content inside continues to emerge, it’s okay for ordinary people who eat melons. They do not have professional knowledge and vision, and they will not be able to see the authenticity or weight of this document and report for a while.
But some other people, such as lawyers, officials, and TV station executives at the scene, instantly realized the weight of this document, and their expressions gradually turned into horror.
Governor’s Mansion.
"Fuck, who the hell can tell me where and where he got this document from?"
Stevenson lost his composure again.
In his position, if he could not see the weight and fatality of this document, then he would not need to be the governor.
Eugene on the side was also livid at this time, but because it was not the fault of the person involved, he had not lost his mind at this time, and said: "Don't think about it, Lawson can't possibly get something like this." The detailed document report is definitely David's masterpiece!"
"David...!"
Stevenson was also awakened, and he gritted his teeth and popped out these two words. word.
yes.
Lawson is just a senatorial candidate. If he could have obtained this kind of information, he would have used it to fight back when he reprimanded him for his extravagance and waste. Why wait until now?
The reason why it was brought out now, combined with the fact that David is currently in Carson City, and the meeting between the two men a few days ago, the result is self-evident.
It turns out that these two people are really in cahoots!
"Governor, there is no point in worrying about this now. This document must be finalized, otherwise if things continue to ferment..."
Eugene did not continue.
But Stevenson was naturally aware of the danger. He suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered: "Call Aldington over. In addition, you should publicize this matter first, and then Give those media outlets a little sweetness, get some other big news out, and try to downplay this matter..."
Anger is anger, but Stevenson's mind is definitely not simple. He thought of it in a flash. Countermeasures.
KNPR-FM TV station.
Milton has also confirmed the authenticity and weight of this document and report, and said: "Mr. Lawson, you really caused a big earthquake in our area today. I can take the liberty to ask, this document How did you get here? ”
"Since Governor Stevenson can investigate the information about our team's extravagance and waste, then we can naturally investigate the information about his alleged violations!"
Lawson also kept David's words in mind about this matter. Don't have anything to do with the IRS and David.
This was originally an act of using a gun, but now he feels that it is quite enjoyable to use this gun. At least he fought back hard against Stevenson without saying a word.
There is another important point.
He is the whistleblower of the governor’s violations, a dragon-slaying warrior!
Maybe this time he can attract many voters and get him a lot of votes!
"Then...Mr. Lawson, is the Golden Ears Bridge incident the governor's violation? Are there others?"
"Of course there is, but the information is not included. After it is perfected, I will come to interview you again!”
Judging from what David told him today, this is just the beginning. If he wants to bring down Stevenson, David must have other 'killing moves'.
Milton's eyes lit up. The Golden Ears Bridge incident was undoubtedly an explosive event. The traffic of today's interview must have reached the highest peak in the past few months or even a year.
If Lawson can bring more exciting news next time, then the traffic of their TV station will undoubtedly hit a new high again.
Thinking of this, he immediately agreed: "Then Mr. Lawson is welcome to be a guest on our TV talk show at any time!"
"No problem."
After finishing the interview and returning to the backstage, Lawson's secretary immediately came to find him and said: "Mr. Lawson, after big data analysis and statistics, after your counterattack against Governor Stevenson, online public opinion has turned against you." The support rate increased by 8 percentage points!”
“Really!”
"Big data can't be wrong!"
"Great!"
After receiving the confirmation, Lawson's face turned rosy instantly.
He worked hard to go to various cities to attend speeches and forums, but at most he could only get 2 to 3 percentage points of public support.
Unexpectedly, David took advantage of this and actually saw a one-time increase of 8 percentage points.
Now, not only did he not have any complaints about David, but he also felt grateful.
