Politics, the Adderleys have quite a history in that field.

Money? The Whytes are exceptionally wealthy.

For Both, seek out the Westwoods.

Need Law-Enforcement? The McLanes wear the bluest uniforms.

Lawyers and Prosecutors? The Marstons would be the most significant and only firm in the area.

Good Food? The Joyces are fantastic chefs.

Religion's main following comes from the very, very devout Jacobsons.

Dependable Workers are the Marenos.

And Reporters and Anchormen are majorly Lees.

According to some, the Politicians are Racists, the Money is Dirty, the Wealthy Politicians are Strung-Out, the Cops are Crooked, the Lawyers And Prosecutors Indulge In Bribery, There's Something Unsavory In The Food, the Clergy-Men are Taking The Money, the Workers are Rapists, and the Reporters are Drunks. 

But the question is...
