The corporation was too close to the city council for its own good. The relationship was cozy with the suspicion of corrupt dealings too likely. It was becoming costly; the Corporation's public approval was declining. Mike Danner, an accountant in the office, could see this and he decided that he had to try and fix it. As he walked down the corridors of the cosmopolitan building where he worked, he knew that an argument with the president would be counterproductive. He had to find a way of counseling the president that he needed distance from his counterpart in the local government. They were an odd couple, he and the mayor; corrective measures were needed. But Mike Danner never thought that there would be any true corresponding crime.
