The '''Mule''' is a box truck that has been featured in almost all GTA games since GTA III.
== Politics ==
The Mayor of Liberty City in [[2001]] is [[Miles O'Donovan]], who won an election against [[Donald Love]] after the [[A Walk in the Park|death]] of the previous mayor, [[Roger C. Hole]], at the hands of [[Toni Cipriani]] in [[1998]].


== Description ==
[[File:SteeringtheVote-GTALCS5.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Toni Cipriani campaigning for Donald Love in 1998]]
The Mule can only support two occupants in the cab; the cargo hold does not normally open, but the cargo hold can be exposed when the door is removed - the truck will contain various items of cargo in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]].
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. Hole was also accused of sleeping with two underage girls. Eventually, his connections with the Forelli Family resulted in his own death in 1998. During his term in office, he raised taxation, reduced public expenditure, increased bureaucratic costs and kept Liberty City in the national news.


When introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], the Mule served as a mid-size straight "[[wp:Luton body|luton]]" truck a step below the [[Yankee]], thus being smaller in size (in actuality being narrower) and lighter. As a result, the Mule fares better in speed and acceleration but still possess average-to-poor cornering. In addition, the truck's high center of gravity may also result in easier rollovers and an inability to return upright in many occasions. The GTA III era Mule most closely resembles a 1989 or 1990 [[wp:Ford E-Series|Ford E-350]] cube van.
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.


In GTA IV, it resembles an over-scaled 1994-2004 [[wp:Isuzu Elf|Isuzu Elf]], with minor alterations. It doesn't tip over as easily as previous games' renditions of the Mule, but is still slow. The GTA IV Mule is manufactured by [[Maibatsu]], and has a 3 litre diesel engine, according to the badging. The Mule comes with various company names painted on the sides, as well as a version with no markings.
O'Donovan came to power by making numerous promises, one of which was to keep the [[Ferry]] service and another to improve the state of the [[Portland El]] service. By [[2000]], the ferry service was cancelled and in [[2001]], the Portland El service had not been improved. O'Donovan, much like Hole, is also corrupt, quickly falling under the influence of Salvatore Leone after being [[The Sicilian Gambit|rescued]] from [[Massimo Torini]] and the [[Sicilian Mafia]]. O'Donovan, who past includes rumours of corruption, drug abuse and prostitution, also begins to introduce numerous hardware stores into the city, possibly due to his brother being in charge of the Donovan Hardware company. O'Donovan, however, does introduce helicopters for the [[LCPD in GTA III Era|Liberty City Police Department]] and in April 2001 promises to revamp the [[Red Light District]].

Emblem of the Mayoralty.

The Mayoralty of Liberty City is the basic administration and total functional of Liberty City. The central office also called the mayor's office is City Hall of Newport in Staunton Island.

Politics

The Mayor of Liberty City in 2001 is Miles O'Donovan, who won an election against Donald Love after the death of the previous mayor, Roger C. Hole, at the hands of Toni Cipriani in 1998.

Toni Cipriani campaigning for Donald Love in 1998

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 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. Hole was also accused of sleeping with two underage girls. Eventually, his connections with the Forelli Family resulted in his own death in 1998. 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.

O'Donovan came to power by making numerous promises, one of which was to keep the Ferry service and another to improve the state of the Portland El service. By 2000, the ferry service was cancelled and in 2001, the Portland El service had not been improved. O'Donovan, much like Hole, is also corrupt, quickly falling under the influence of Salvatore Leone after being rescued from Massimo Torini and the Sicilian Mafia. O'Donovan, who past includes rumours of corruption, drug abuse and prostitution, also begins to introduce numerous hardware stores into the city, possibly due to his brother being in charge of the Donovan Hardware company. O'Donovan, however, does introduce helicopters for the Liberty City Police Department and in April 2001 promises to revamp the Red Light District.
