City begins to change

Major changes are beginning to emerge as Barack Obama prepares to be inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States.

"Our $1.2 million budget shortfall has already disappeared," said mayor Tom Tomzak, "I'm sure that everything is going to have a trickle-down effect, so I can't wait to see the final numbers."

"The Frederickstopia Police Department has converted its entire fleet of patrol cars to hybrid vehicles," said FPD spokesperson Natatia Bledsoe.

"Our budget shortfall has also been resolved," said city schools Superintendent Dr. David Melton, "we are going to start paying teachers a living wage and our dropout rate has decreased dramatically."

The good news doesn't end there though. Analysts predict that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest point in decades and homelessness is all but non-existent. In addition, thousands of "clean energy" jobs are being created to prepare for the influx of troops who will be returning from Iraq.

"It's a great time to be an American," commented Bill Howell shortly after resigning from his position as House Speaker.
