The long running and costly Gadget Project has finally been shut down after an in depth review of the cities finances.

The newly elected mayor did as promised on his campaign and took a metaphoric ax to his first day, cutting the massive overspending that plagued our city

First to the block was Inspector Gadget.

The forty million dollar project was created ten years ago as this cities answer to Detroit’s successful Robocop campaign.

After many false starts and millions in spending, the Gadget Project finally unveiled its creation, Inspector Gadget.

The Inspector, like Robocop before him, was a half man, half robot multi tool that never seemed to function as promised. Most days he would just be seen hovering over the city with his helicopter blade gadget in constant motion.

Over the course of his time in the police force he had just one arrest, but even that was dismissed due to lack of evidence.

The most vocal about wanting the Gadget Project shut down was Dr. Claw of the M. A. D. Organization, whom the Inspector had tormented since its start.

You may remember when Dr. Claw successfully sued the city for millions in damages after the Inspector blew up one of his labs.

Dr. Claw gave a statement following todays announcement of the shut down, here is a brief snippet of what was said.

“For years the Gadget Project has been an embarrassment to this great city. Untold amounts in damages, lawsuits and far to much pain and suffering caused by this mechanical monstrosity. Let us now move past this blight and grow stronger for our future and our community. Thank you”
