Jerome Standish

The mayor of Chicago, Jerome Standish has the support of a massive political machine, as well as the megacorps. Mayor Standish has made Chicago a city where the corps can excel, and it's made the Elevated City one of the most modern, elegant corporate enclaves on the planet. And just as Hollywood was synonymous with movies, Chicago's Dream Town is becoming synonymous with simsense. While having a magnetic personality when speaking in front of a crowd on on the trid, some people report that one on one conversations with the mayor are somewhat unnerving.
By Day Two of Bug City, Mayor Standish is operating out of the operational command center at Midway Airport, just outside of the CZ.

Despair has its own calms.
