Description
The first randomly-selected representatives of the Citizen House convenes. But just because it is proportionally representative of all willing and able citizens does not mean that these new representatives are well-suited. The only reason that Cathy Gresham has accepted her selection is because her politically engaged aunt pushed her into it. If it were up to Cathy she'd be spending all her time at home in her garden. On the other end of the apolitical spectrum is Turk. Just having been released from a mental institution, he's a wild card worst case scenario. The only way he survives as a legislator is thanks to McKnight, a former newspaper vendor and smart old guy originally from Flatbush. Whether Cathy and Turk are up to the task is the question. Can people like them successfully legislate? Former power players with private militias hook up with strange bedfellow religionists in an attempt to scuttle this new Citizen House. It looks likely that whatever victory the newly minted representatives might achieve will only be pyrrhic. Whatever the outcome, this legislature of everyday citizenry no longer has anyone but itself to blame.
