That sounds great! I also thought about how this could effect Bill's standing with some of his wealthier donors given Matthew's interference. As I stated at one point, Bill managed to secure donations from Parker Ogilvie's father recently and also assisted in allowing Spencer Shipping to expand (that one's a story I have yet to put in his bio). I think it would be interesting to have him try and strong-arm those two families into supporting him or staying out of it.

Of course, he would try to maintain positive feedback through public appearances and showcase the condition of children without access to education through TV ads. Bill would also likely call in a favor from his collegue Thomas Stubbs to help him in slowing Matthew's rise of support. He could also organize people of the lower-classes the of Bullworth to hold a protest to gain the attention of media outside the state.

On Matthew's side, he could take it to the next level later in the conflict and try to using his connections to poache congressional votes in case the legislation actually gains enough support. You've thought of some good tactics for Matthew to use so you don't have to take all of these suggestions seriously but he could get some dishonest tabloids to create fake stories about how the program would just be a big scam to allow "pork barrel spending".

Emily wouldn't care for the situation at first, dismissing it as just an irrelevant bit of news. However, as the dispute grows into a full conflict, Emily would try to stay cool with her fellow Preppies despite her split opinion on it.
