'''Roger C. Hole''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] and a minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. He is the mayor of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].  


Mayor R.C. Hole has been in public office for a long time, and has given up on the democratic processes of being Mayor of [[Liberty City]]. Mayor R.C. Hole was elected in 1992, meaning he served one full term and half a second (1992-96 and 1996-98). Prior to 1998 Mayor R.C. Hole had raised taxation, reduced public expenditure, increased bureaucratic costs and kept [[Liberty City]] in the national news. It is suggested on the Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories website that Mayor R.C. Hole had sex with at least two under age females. A court case was brought against Mayor R.C. Hole on this case, but Mayor R.C. Hole was cleared. He denied that he knew they were under age and that their driving licences were fakes.

According to the game manual, which looks like a [[Liberty Tree]] article dated October 30, 1998, Roger C. Hole was born in November or December of 1939. He was first elected Mayor of Liberty City in 1991, and began office in January 1992. As mayor he raised taxes, reduced public spending, increased bureaucratic costs and kept Liberty City in the national news. In 1993 he faced his "Million Dollar Lunch" scandal, in which he, three Russian prostitutes and a senior manager from a construction company were trying to secure government contracts. In [[1995]] he was photographed with members of the [[Forelli Family]], whom he protected with his influence as mayor. Despite this, he was elected to a second term the same year. In 1997, he gave drugs to city officials in exchange for sanitation contracts.


Mayor R.C. Hole survived three scandals in 1993, 1995 and 1997. In 1993 three Russian prostitutes and a manager from a construction company were trying to gain government contracts. In 1995 he was photographed with members of the [[Forelli Family]]. Then in 1997 he was accused of securing drugs for city officials in return for sanitation contracts.
According to the GTA Liberty City Stories website, Hole was accused of statutory rape in early 1998 with at least two underage females, but was cleared of all charges saying the girls showed him fake driver's licenses. Hole continued working for construction companies, as confirmed by [[Avery Carrington]] on the website.


Mayor R.C. Hole had also previously faced [[Miles O'Donovan]], who would succeed him, as Mayor of Liberty City.
In 1998, R.C. Hole demanded the arrest of don [[Salvatore Leone]].

According to the game manual, Hole would have been killed in November or December 1998 (they mention he is still incumbent mayor), shortly before his 59th birthday. To celebrate, he planned to shut down all police activity and not enforce any laws for the entire week.


The Forellis and their leader [[Franco Forelli]] control Mayor R.C. Hole. Mayor R.C. Hole is also involved with some construction companies, as confirmed by [[Avery Carrington]] on the official Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories website. Mayor R.C. Hole is eventually killed by [[Toni Cipriani]], the [[protagonist]] and player character of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories in Belleville Park in the [[Staunton Island]] area of Liberty City, despite a big entourage of security surrounding and within Belleville Park. Mayor R.C. Hole was at the time just looking to see out his term as Mayor of Liberty City and retire from politics.
Hole was buried in the [[Liberty City Cathedral|cathedral]] [[Liberty City Cemetery|cemetery]] in [[Bedford Point]]. It says: "''Running for office in Heaven''". It is also noteworthy that Hole's tombstone is noticeably larger and more grandeur that the other tombstones in the cemetery.  


The death of Mayor R.C. Hole causes an election for the position of Mayor of Liberty City, which the [[Leone Family|Leones]] and the Forellis are heavily involved with. Mayor R.C. Hole is seen wearing a light blue tracksuit jacket and dark blue tracksuit trousers with a white scarf in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Hole's death opened up a special election in which [[Miles O'Donovan]] (Democrat), a city politician who previously ran against Hole, faced off against [[Donald Love]] (Republican), an extremely wealthy real estate and media businessman.

Biography

According to the game manual, which looks like a Liberty Tree article dated October 30, 1998, Roger C. Hole was born in November or December of 1939. He was first elected Mayor of Liberty City in 1991, and began office in January 1992. As mayor he raised taxes, reduced public spending, increased bureaucratic costs and kept Liberty City in the national news. In 1993 he faced his "Million Dollar Lunch" scandal, in which he, three Russian prostitutes and a senior manager from a construction company were trying to secure government contracts. In 1995 he was photographed with members of the Forelli Family, whom he protected with his influence as mayor. Despite this, he was elected to a second term the same year. In 1997, he gave drugs to city officials in exchange for sanitation contracts.

According to the GTA Liberty City Stories website, Hole was accused of statutory rape in early 1998 with at least two underage females, but was cleared of all charges saying the girls showed him fake driver's licenses. Hole continued working for construction companies, as confirmed by Avery Carrington on the website.

In 1998, R.C. Hole demanded the arrest of don Salvatore Leone. After Leone and his accomplice Toni Cipriani escaped Portland, Salvatore ordered Toni to assassinate Hole on his morning jog in Belleville Park. According to the game manual, Hole would have been killed in November or December 1998 (they mention he is still incumbent mayor), shortly before his 59th birthday. To celebrate, he planned to shut down all police activity and not enforce any laws for the entire week.

Hole was buried in the cathedral cemetery in Bedford Point. It says: "Running for office in Heaven". It is also noteworthy that Hole's tombstone is noticeably larger and more grandeur that the other tombstones in the cemetery.

Hole's death opened up a special election in which Miles O'Donovan (Democrat), a city politician who previously ran against Hole, faced off against Donald Love (Republican), an extremely wealthy real estate and media businessman. O'Donovan and Love were in the pockets of the Forelli and Leone families, respectively. O'Donovan ultimately won, due to rumors spreading across news outlets about Donald Love's association with Toni Cipriani.
