New Term

The votes are in and the new hood council will be effective this simSunday, which leaves simSaturday for the old council members to finish unresolved business. The only new sim on the team is the Community Director, Rayne Wilsonoff replacing Leroy Mendenhall. Ka'obi Sweeny returned as a permenant member due to the anti-aging wavier she has and I am back as well. The hoood council is entirely females-girl power!

I have a lot of ideas for the new term, I think we need to establish a scholarship for out-of-hood students to come to the university. It would help bring in new blood and DNA, which is essential to a small hood. The census says that we're shrinking, too much death and emmigration and not enough births. I don't think it's a problem...yet.

The Office of Tourism is open and Clark Grey manages that site and arranging the travel into and out of the hood. We're trying to make the visa system more automated and hopefully we'll have more visitors come to the hood. We could use the simoleans.

The construction has started on a jail, we need something besides fines to enforce the laws. With the new jail, we'll need at the very minimum a judge, two lawyers, and jailer. Thankfully we have our jailer-Jarvis Forrester-Miller, he will be the permenant jailer since he and his wife have an anti-aging wavier due to her international assignments. We'll need to post openings for the lawyers and judge. Thankfully, Fiona wants to go into law. So we'll have a lawyer pretty soon. I hope she follows in my footsteps and become a spokesim. She seems to want to, but will she?

Other jobs needed in the hood: we have a Manager for the Medical Centre, but Jan needs help, thankfully she has talked to a university student who is interested in working there after school. We need more military, we only had two military sims and one is dead and the other an elder. I suppose we need to build a military training base sometime soon, but it's hard to see the need for them when we are not in the middle of a conflict and haven't had one.
