"Oh, that's easy!"
Ribbs said, "Write a detailed statement and I'll submit a proposal to the parliament. Then I'll approve a sum of money for you to buy a new batch of cars..."
A smile appeared on Daniel's face, which was covered with age spots. "Senator Ribbs! You are really young and promising! Opening a security company is a good thing. It also maintains the public security in Chicago. Don't worry about the permit. I can help you with it!"
"Thank you for your concern, Chief!" Reeves immediately thanked him, and then asked, "Mr. Chief, how has the security situation in Chicago been in recent months?"
Daniel looked at Jerry and motioned for him to tell him about his recent situation.
Jerry replied worriedly, "Except for Inglewood, public safety is deteriorating everywhere else. Serious crimes increased by 17% this quarter... and there are also many cases of girls under ten going missing..."
Reeves sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that my security company must be established as soon as possible! Otherwise, the whole of Chicago will be in chaos..."
"Hahaha, okay! Don't worry, Congressman Ribs, I will help you get the permit as soon as possible!" said Daniel.
"Well, thank you, Director!" Reeves thanked him again, then stood up and left the office.
Jerry has been secretly following Ribbs ever since he ran for councillor.
Jerry also strongly agrees with the campaign slogan "Make Chicago Great Again".
But today, the news that Reeves was going to set up a private security company made Jerry feel vaguely uneasy.
"Liebs, wait a minute!"
He followed Ribbs out and pulled him into a corner of the police station corridor.
"What's wrong Jerry?"
"If you really want to set up a security company, I don't think that's a good idea, right?" Jerry said.
"What's wrong with this? Director Daniel has already agreed!"
"You've established a security company, which will weaken the Chicago Police Department's presence!" Jerry said. "From now on, the situation in Chicago will be even more difficult to control!"
Reeves shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Jerry had been in the system for too long and trusted the Chicago police system too much.
"The Chicago Police Department doesn't even have a presence anymore... There's no question of it being weakened... Besides, I still have my security company!"
After answering nonchalantly, Reeves left the police station.
Jerry looked at Reeves's back as he left, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
It's right to want to clean up the Chicago underworld, and it's right to want to make Chicago great again.
But the act of setting up a private security company has completely exposed Ribbs's ambition.
Alas... Jerry sighed, fearing that in the end, the dragon slayer would become the evil dragon!
......
Director Daniel worked very quickly and obtained the security company's license in just a few days, which was even faster than the time it took for Ao Guanhai to set up the company.
The relationship with the police chief should be maintained well. After all, when your own company is established in the future, the police station may be one of your clients.
In exchange, Ribbs kept his promise and submitted a proposal to the parliament to increase the police department's funding by $20 million and replace most of the old patrol cars.
This is also the first bill submitted to Parliament by Ribbs after his election.
20 million dollars is not a lot, and it is generally not difficult to pass a vote with such a small amount of money.
That day, Reeves, holding his speech manuscript, spoke with great confidence: "Ladies and gentlemen, the average age of Chicago police cars exceeds the federal standard by three times! Last month, while chasing drug dealers in the South Side, an old Ford Interceptor exploded..."
Ribbs hadn't finished speaking yet.
Kim Saban, a puppet councilman of the Daley family, stood up and shouted, "Oppose! Taxpayers pay a whopping $870 million annually for police security! Replacing police cars is routine maintenance, why do we need additional funding?"
Ribs was stunned. "Councilor Jin, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet! At least wait until I'm done speaking before you object!"
"No need to explain! I'm totally against it!" King Saiban said, "Let's vote! Speaker Edward!"
At this time, the sound of snoring was heard from the Speaker's seat.
Jin Saiban walked up to the Speaker and slammed the table hard: "Mr. Speaker! Wake up, it's time to vote!"
"Oh! Vote! I declare the vote open!" Speaker Edward suddenly woke up, "I abstain!"
As soon as Edward finished speaking, four Democratic congressmen, led by Kim Saiban, voted against it at the same time.
"The majority vote is against it! The proposal is rejected!" Edward banged the gavel and asked, "Anything else?"
"No more Mr. Speaker!" said King Saban.
Speaker Edward yawned and said, "Well then! Meeting adjourned!"
Immediately afterwards, all the congressmen stood up and left the meeting room, leaving only Reeves sitting in his seat in a daze.
Blair came over, patted Ribs' shoulder distressedly and said, "Well, Parliament isn't that easy to play with! If you want to get things done, you have to give benefits to the Daly family."
Ribbs is tired of the Daly family, who are everywhere but nowhere.
He took off his congressman's medal and slammed it on the table. "I'm a congressman now, and I still have to look after the Daley family?"
Blair nodded: "Yes, with this parliamentary medal, you only have the right to vote."
Ribs: "Hou Lixie, then being a member of parliament is like begging on your knees."
Blair: "So if you put it that way, being a congressman in Chicago is really like begging on your knees. That's it, how many people want to kneel but don't even have the chance!"
