Mayor Blunders Signs Order To Reopen Space Program Hoping To Launch Pigeons To Space

It's been 2 weeks since the war between Eastern Crawford and Venango County ended. The short lived conflict came as a result of a space race between Western PA's two major superpowers. Although the war crippled Oil Cities economy.... that is to say, we were already crippled but the war stole our wheel chair.... Mayor Blunders is now signing an executive order to reopen VASA (Venango Aeronautics and Space Administration).

Mayor Blunders hopes to show the surrounding regions we can be the first to send animal life to space by stuffing pigeons inside little rockets. If Blunders is successful, he will achieve the honor of going before a judge for animal cruelty. Yes, sometimes innocent pigeons must die for the good of our town...

Unfortunately, the town is 35 dollars in debt to Franklin thanks to the war with Eastern Crawford. Oil City also owes the City of Butler 45 dollars in gas for returning troops that accidentally attacked them instead of Titusville. Mayor Blunders apparently doesn't know the difference between North and South.

With the extreme debt accumulated from the war efforts, many believe Mayor Blunders is getting ahead of himself with this concept of another space race. As much as we would like to see our Mayor forced out of office for animal cruelty, chances are, it is not going to happen due to the debt that exists. In the end, the only thing Blunders has successfully launched is Oil City’s reputation… straight into the dumpster at terminal velocity. But hey, if the pigeons survive, maybe they can run for mayor.
