As the democratically elected governor of the state of New Vegas, I would make the following changes:
1.) Transfer control of Securitrons to the national government. All that firepower is utterly wasted on policing New Vegas. Put the robots on the front lines and get me some troopers to safeguard the streets until I can get a proper police system running.
2.) Knock down the gate separating Freeside from the Strip. In fact, knock down all the gates within the city.
3.) Clean up the rubble in the streets, then use personal reputation into getting the NCR to funnel some of the water from Lake Meade our way. Once we have the running water and the power from Helios, immigration into Freeside will boom to the point where the Kings are outvoted. Use my status as a Messiah to talk them into giving this situation a chance.
4.) Institute sin taxes on gambling and drinking, continue personally shooting every drug dealer I see. Use the tax money to subsidize non-gambling industry. We need factories to put people to work. We need maize to be made into fuel and broc flowers and xander root to be made into healing items. We need to get civilization back on its feet the way it is out west. We don't need addicts.
5.) Arrange for any plant-based experiments to happen on New Vegas soil, under my strict supervision.
6.) Look to the future. In the past several years the NCR bled for the freedom and prosperity of New Vegas. A generation from now it will be our turn. The people of Arizona are still in chains, and our children will be the ones to free them. Let's give them the best damn head start we can.
NCR bled? NCR bledddd!?? They did not bled, but the people that joined the army, for nothing but false hope. NCR wont last like the old world, but i agree, free the people of the east from their chains. If NCR is what u need to do that, then NCR you will use.
