My party’s in power in the city, and it’s goin’ to undertake a lot of public improvements. Well, I’m tipped off, say, that they’re going to lay out a new park at a certain place. I see my opportunity and I take it. I go to that place and I buy up all the land I can in the neighborhood.

Fish around nuclear plants don't survive well with the increase in water temperatures.
In the United States, many of the nuclear plants are located on the San Andres fault in Southern California between Los Angles and San Diego. Can you imagine what would happen if there was some sort of Nuclear Accident?
Finally what do you do with the waste? That creates all kinds of trouble.
<span>The correct answer should be Preparing the annual budget. The president has exective powers to veto things, or to make executive orders.
