Quotes[]
“For those who know me, they know that I tend to be frugal with my words. You know, it’s an odd thing to get a medal for doing your job, but I’m grateful. This valley and the people that are in it are different. They’re special. We lean on each other when times get tough. We rely on each other. We help each other out. I’m so blessed to call Hope Valley my home. And I want you to know that I consider it my greatest honor to serve and protect it. So thank you for allowing me to do that.”
-Nathan’s speech at the ball
“Thank you, everyone, for joining us, and to all those listening live to Hope Valley’s first ever radio broadcast. We are so excited you’re with us on this incredibly special night. We’re here to support our Governor, Governor Bixby Balfour as he seeks reelection. Governor Balfour is a man of the people. A man of business. A man of the greater good. But what exactly does that mean, ‘the greater good?’ According to Governor Balfour, the greater good does not include places like Rock Creek, Eagle Creek. It doesn’t even include Hope Valley, because he’s happy and willing to steal their water and leave them high and dry. It’s happening here in Hope Valley, as we speak. And, according to old Bix here, the greater good does also not include Buxton or Jameson, the next two towns on his list to be drained. How do I know this? I know this because he just told me. He told me when he offered me a cut to join in. Now, unlike Governor Balfour, I don’t believe the greater good means leaving people out. I don’t believe the greater good means decimating towns, valleys, lives, communities that we have worked hard to build here. Now, we have an election coming up, and if you agree with what I’ve said, go out and make your voices heard.”
