Huang Minhui said that the remaining balance of this year's general budget will not be known until next year's final accounts. It is impossible to predict now, but there is only one big principle: "Use what needs to be used, spend what needs to be spent, and save what needs to be saved." It depends on what happens next year. She will try her best to do it within the limited scope that can be done, and she is also very optimistic. As long as everyone works together, this is a joint effort to give people a good welfare space and make Chiayi City live a good life.
Zhang Xiuhua said that Mayor Huang means that there will be no more universal cash before leaving office. She has reviewed the general budget proposed by the city government for next year and found that the remaining 1.5 billion yuan in the annual budget has been used to offset the shortfall in annual expenditure and revenue in the general budget. However, she still recommends that the city government carefully evaluates the possibility of universal cash if time permits.
