Capítulo 213: Chapter 207 Political Broker

Larry Stone was the senator of Sunnyvale City, and being in Silicon Valley, he was exceedingly passionate about praising the development of high-tech enterprises.

"Everyone is riding the high-tech surfboard," Larry Stone once proclaimed to reporters.

But after Old Bush was elected in '88, Larry Stone also felt gloomy about the future of Silicon Valley.

"Some changes have taken place here, and with them comes the realization that our community is not what it should be or what we originally thought," he said.

Larry Stone published his gloomy comments in the newspapers; he was a Democratic Party power broker, and Old Bush was a Republican.

He even listed a slew of examples to prove the White House's inaction toward Silicon Valley.

For instance, the once red-hot local industries had cooled down, and those who had paid high prices for Silicon Valley farms and bungalows were now finding they could hardly afford their mortgages.
