The Cast:
Captain Theodore E. Bear – Investigates (You may remember Ted E. Bear from previous Criminal Pursuits investigations)
Nicole Donovan – known Gov. Michaels since he was Mayor of Dallas while she was running her father's commercial development office (Donovan Developments). Gov. Michaels worked on several projects with her father.
J.T. Johnson – Worked under Mitchell Donovan until Mitchell's retirement at which point he took over the company and built it into one of the largest commercial development companies in the Dallas area. He is also an avid supporter of Gov. Michaels. His engagement to Jacqueline Montegue (Dallas Morning News columnist) is hitting some rough spots due to her extreme aversion to Gov. Michaels.
Governor Bob Michaels – On the hot seat right now for eminent domain issue concerning major highway going through the DFW area—many people feel they and their loved ones are being displaced as well as unfairly and unrealistically compensated and will end up basically homeless if he is successful at getting this highway project completed.
Rocky Marianni – He was previously a Campaign Manager to Martin Bullwinkle. You may remember him from the scandal of 2006. He has maintained his claim of innocence throughout the whole process. He's grateful that Gov. Michaels believed in him, generously gave him a second chance. Marianni has ambitions to see Gov. Michaels reach the Senate and... more.
Bethany Devlin – Hotel Manager at Holiday Inn Express...
Jeffrey Border – "The People's Reporter." Determined to be the one to bring the facts—whatever they may be—to light.
Jacqueline Montegue – Dallas Morning News columnist, specializing in issues of local human interest. Stay tuned to read the continuation on her exceptionally informative article on the Hwy debacle... I mean, situation.
