Midtoon Mayor to Build New Roads

The Midtoon Herald, February 23, 2009

In what seems an attempt to create new jobs by building infrastructure, the Mayor of Midtoon announced today that there will be major improvements to Hill Road, Lover's Lane and Lovelost Avenue.

Hill Road will be transformed into a four-Lane boulevard and both Lover's Lane and Lovelost Avenue will be repaved and new signage will be installed.

"We need new signs to tell people where to go and skaters where NOT to go," said Mayor's Advisor John Campos. "This improvements will create many jobs for our city, from road pavement crews, to security forces to keep teenagers out of Lover's Lane. The Mayor of Midtoon is working for the good of the people,"

These announcements were made in the wake of polls that showed that the residents of Midtoon were inclined to fire all the politicians. Later Today, the managers of Midtoon General Hospital announced that a new wing has been authorized to be built. This wing had been in the works for a couple of years, but the hospital had not been able to secure the loans needed for construction.

"The City is guaranteeing our loan," said Dr. Grey, a representative of the medical community. "With this loan, we will begin construction soon."

It seems that the voters of Midtoon have more power than they realize, and the powers that be have listened. It is still to be seen the effect that these new infrastructure projects will have on the economic situation of the city, and some citizens worry that the projects will get Midtoon deeper into debt.

This reporter doesn't know how to solve the problem. Do you?
