- Since I'm stuck at home with the flu feeling like Nynaeve (sniff, sniff)
- I'll give it a shot. And if its not funny I have an excuse.
-
- --------
- Welcome to the 6:00 news.
-
- In local news, this is election day. If you haven't voted yet, please
- do. Exit polls put Mayor al'Vere ahead with 60% of the vote in his bid
- for a fifth term. Although there have been allegations of an underhanded
- strategy to help limit the Coplin vote.
-
- Proposition one is too close to call. In order to help the undecideds
- here's Haral Luhan and Cenn Buie in point/counterpoint. Cenn.
-
- Proposition one is needed badly. Emond's Field is the only village
- in the Two Rivers without any zoning laws, and look what it has gotten
- us. A large eyesore of a manor built near the historic village green
- (by the way, the historic preservation society's attempt to block the
- building with an injuction is going smoothly so far.), that building is
- a menace. Perrin is a menace. Why we've have three children bit
- by wolves in the last month. They think just because Perrin can talk
- to wolves that they can too, somebody ought to sue. Why he should...
-
- Thank you Cenn. Haral.
-
- Proposition one is about three things. Jobs, jobs, jobs. What with those
- ill directed anti-smoking ordinances and the Wisdom Generals wool headed
- warning against tabac. Our exports have gone into the chamber pot. Not to
- mention the beating the wool industry has been taking due to synthetics, and
- imports of Aiel (the darkfriends) koton. Emond's Field needs the industry
- that will be brought in by its comparitive advantage in cheap comercial land.
-
- Very good. Now here's Daise with the weather.
-
- Well, I'm sorry to say that the wind has been mighty shy lately and hasn't
- said exactly when the drought will end. Do buck up though. Winter will
- be mild.
-
- Thank you Wisdom, now a word from our sponsor.
-
- Mat Cauthon, you just killed the insane leader of half a million rampaging
- black veiled Aiel. What are you going to do now.
- I'm going to Valan Luca's.
-
- Now to sports. Tam al'Thor again won the longbow competition. Although
- there have been some allegations. Here's master Coplin.
- Nobody can shoot that well without One Poweroids, and just look at his son.
- There is no doubt about it. He's juiced. His medals should be stripped.
-
- In other news, the trial of Padan Fain has come to a close. Despite
- many eyewitnesses and a video tape showing him torturing and killing
- two Tinkers, the jury apparently bought the prosecutions arguement that
- he was swept up in mob mentality due to his association with the
- Whitecloaks, and therefore was only sentenced to a slap on the wrist,
- abiet by Alsbet Luhhan.
-
- Finally, this station has been assured by the White Tower that rumors
- of the Dark One breaking free have been greatly exagerated, and if
- he does get out, the Tower will be able to take care of it if only
- RALFTA (RAndLand Free Trade Agreement) is ratified.
