Kuomintang Taoyuan mayoral candidate Zhang Shanzheng attended the South District District Chiefs Association event this afternoon (10th) and warned the grassroots district chiefs about the election situation. He admitted that there is still a crisis in the election campaign. The opponent camp is actively mobilizing, but some supporters of the blue camp may not go out to vote due to various factors. If they fail to effectively collect votes, it may affect the final election results. He called on the district chiefs who were running for the same amount in each district to regard themselves as "Zhang Shanzheng's clone" and encouraged his supporters to go out and vote and work hard until the last moment.
Zhang Shanzheng mentioned that the Trustees Association and polling expert Dai Li'an released the latest poll on the Taoyuan mayoral election. Zhang Shanzheng's support was 36.9%, leading the DPP candidate Huang Shijie by 32.8%. The gap between the two sides was 4.1 percentage points. Experts said that there are two possible crises to pay attention to in this poll. The first one is that if he goes out to vote tomorrow, he will only A 4% lead is within the margin of error. Winning 4% is not a guarantee. The second one is the willingness to vote. The opponent camp will definitely come out to vote at 80%, while the blue camp will definitely come out to vote at only 70%. This means that the good part is that the opponent can come out to vote. The bow has been fully drawn. We have not yet fully drawn it, and there is still room for improvement.
Zhang Shanzheng emphasized that looking at the poll from another angle, it means that the blue camp still has 30% room for effort. Although 70% of the voting rate has been considered high in the past, the opponent has 80%, which means that the opponent has heated up the election. We must work harder here, especially this year. Many administrative districts have the same number of district chiefs running for the same amount. Please regard yourself as "Zhang Shanzheng's doppelgänger" and please encourage the folks and friends in your neighborhood to come out and vote.
Zhang Shanzheng mentioned that this year the city government increased the funding for grassroots work, and also increased the night-time fee for cleaning crews before. At that time, the bureau assessed that the budget was tight, but he believed that the cleaning crews worked hard to maintain the city's appearance and should review the standards set back then and the price increases in recent years, and adjust them as much as necessary, " This is a system, don’t use a charity mentality.” Adjustments should be made when prices rise. If prices rise by 3% to 5%, there must be an automatic adjustment mechanism. Establish this system. No matter who becomes the mayor in the future, the rights and interests of the mayor can be long-term and stable, instead of treating it as a favor given by the mayor.
He also gave examples. In the past, when he first took office, there were engineering problems such as the collapse of the Pingzhen parking lot and the floating Yangmei District Office. The system needed to be reviewed. In the past, each colleague in the Taoyuan Public Works Bureau carried an average project budget of up to 600 million yuan, and personnel were stretched. The grassroots level was relatively young, had a high turnover rate, and lacked experience. It was difficult to check the project design in detail when receiving it. Therefore, an external review system was established and Taoyuan’s Civil Engineering, Architectural, and Structural Technicians Association was mobilized to assist in review.
As for the increase in Taoyuan City's number of districts from 400 to 450, he admitted that it is difficult to achieve the goal of "one activity center per mile". If it is shared across districts, the size of the activity center must be expanded to 1.5 to 2 times. As long as the district chief and villagers can find suitable land, the city government will give priority to evaluation and construction.
The poll released today was commissioned by the Trustees Association, Mr. Dai Li'an, to be responsible for questionnaire design and analysis, and Beacon Market Research Company to conduct telephone interviews. The survey targets people who are registered in Taoyuan City and are over 20 years old. It was conducted from November 4 to November 6, and 1,074 people were successfully interviewed (751 people from residential phones and 323 people from mobile phones). The maximum sampling error of the combined sample at a reliability level of 95% is ±3.0%.
