Roger C. Hole was elected Mayor of Liberty City in [[1992]] and during this time proved to be corrupt. Hole, who was being controlled by [[Forelli Family]] [[Boss|Don]] [[Franco Forelli]], caused numerous controversies during his term in office. In 1993, three Russian prostitutes and a construction company manager were caught trying to get a government contract from Hole. In 1995, he was photographed with members of the Forelli Family whilst he was accused of securing drugs for city officials in return for sanitation contracts.

During his term in office, he raised taxation, reduced public expenditure, increased bureaucratic costs and kept Liberty City in the national news. | ||
An election was then triggered, with businessman Donald Love running against former candidate Miles O'Donovan. Love received help from [[Salvatore Leone]] and Toni Cipriani, who campaigned for him, stopped the Forelli Family rigging the election and even attempt to rig the election in Donald's favour. However, after links between Love and the [[Leone Family]] were discovered, the people voted in favour of O'Donovan. | An election was then triggered, with businessman Donald Love running against former candidate Miles O'Donovan.
