AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Taoyuan City's bag-based garbage collection is currently only implemented on a trial basis in Bade and Guishan 4-ri on the border with New Taipei City, as well as government agencies, high school vocational and lower schools, and public markets where the garbage is collected by cleaning teams. It has not yet been extended to ordinary households. Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that Taoyuan City will comprehensively promote this policy after the election. Opponent Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate Huang Shijie has also raised many doubts about the policy, and argued in his political opinion that bag collection should not be implemented if social consensus is not reached.

From time to time, there are rumors on the Internet that Taoyuan city will promote "garbage collection by bags" after the election. Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng, who is seeking re-election, went to Taoyuan District's Xinyonghe Market this morning (8) to sweep the streets. When asked whether garbage collection by bags would be extended to ordinary households, he emphasized three times during the interview, "This is a false issue. After being re-elected, we will not consider this and will not introduce bag collection for ordinary households. This is very certain."

Taoyuan City's garbage collection fee is currently only implemented on a trial basis in Bade and Guishan 4-ri on the border with New Taipei City, as well as in government agencies, high school and vocational schools and public markets collected by cleaning teams. It has not yet been extended to ordinary households. However, there have been rumors on the Internet that Taoyuan City will comprehensively promote the policy after the election. Opponent Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate Huang Shijie also raised many doubts about the policy, and argued in his political opinion that the bag collection should not be implemented if it fails to reach social consensus.

When interviewed, Zhang Shanzheng said that he believed that his opponent was pursuing a false issue and that he would not consider this or push it at all after being re-elected. He went on to reiterate that he would not introduce baggage collection for ordinary households and would not do so after taking office. This is very certain.

With more than 20 days left in the election campaign, Zhang Shanzheng has been intensively sweeping streets and night markets recently. He said that he has been to several markets and he is very touched by the enthusiasm of the people. In recent years, the city government has worked hard to improve traditional markets, and people and vendors should feel it.

Councilor Ling Tao, who accompanied the street sweepers, said that when sweeping the streets, he saw changes in the market environment, which was more comfortable and cleaner, and everyone's business was getting better and better. In addition, voters should also be reminded not to go out to vote because they think they are stable or won the polls, like Zhu Lilun in New Taipei in the past When he was running for mayor, he won more than 20% in the polls, but narrowly won by more than 1% in the final poll. This is the best example. Former county magistrate Wu Zhiyang was greatly affected by this. Please vote in the final vote to truly support Zhang Shanzheng's re-election.

Zhang Shanzheng also said, "If you don't come out to vote, no matter how many polls you take, they will be false!" Although the current polls are promising, no one knows until the end. Especially among voters who are determined to vote, his lead is not that optimistic. He still calls on everyone to have a sense of crisis, "As long as you support our achievements in the past four years, you must come out and vote."

Blue and White rudely raise the subsidy for veteran farmers to 15,000. Chen Jizhong warns that it will expand the occupational injustice for generations.

The Blue and White-dominated Legislative Yuan approved raising the old farmer subsidy to 15,000 yuan. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates that annual expenditure will increase by 32 billion yuan compared with the political Yuan version of 10,000 yuan. Former Agriculture Minister Chen Jizhong pointed out that this move will expand inequality between generations and occupations, be detrimental to the expansion of agricultural business scale, and severely damage agricultural budget and policy flexibility. It is recommended that 32 billion yuan be used to encourage farmland leasing, farmland green environment payments, agricultural insurance premium subsidies, etc., to substantially enhance agricultural competitiveness and resilience.
