Willie Ray Hudson
Wille Ray Hudson is the only Grantviller appointed to the Emergency Committee that has any practical experience with government, having been on the state legislature of West Virginia for a number of terms. He is considered by many (including Mike Stearns) as the best farmer in Grantville, and so is appointed to the Grantville Constitutional Sub-committee. His primary role is making sure Grantville and the influx of refugees have sufficient food— Chairman of Agriculture co-ordination and rationing. Wille Ray accordingly works closely with both the Resource committee and Rationing committees and plays a role in many of the ground-level-view stories published in The Grantville Gazettes. He has not appeared in a major novel since his cameos in 1632, save by reference or mentions.

“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”

“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
