He called on the villagers to work together to "the mayor takes over the baton, the council has a majority, but Zuo Nanhong will not give up."

He said that Zuoying has the cultural heritage of the old city, Lotus Pond, and military villages. It also integrates high-speed rail, MRT, Taiwan Railway, and national highways. It is an important core in driving the development of Kaohsiung. In the future, it will combine the National Interschool Talent Center, the Zuoying High-speed Railway Science and Technology Heart, and the MRT Purple Line to connect talent cultivation, enterprise settlement, and transportation construction to build Zuoying into Kaohsiung. The technology gateway connects the world, allowing industrial development and citizen life to simultaneously improve.

He explained that in addition to cultivating talents, it is also important to create local job opportunities. The "Zuoying High-speed Railway Technology Heart" that has already started construction will be an important base to attract high-tech companies, R&D and operation teams. In the future, the advantages of high-speed rail and sea and air ports will be used to strive for international companies to set up headquarters in Kaohsiung. "Let talents stay in Kaohsiung and their headquarters in Kaohsiung." It will also allow the employment and tax benefits created by industries to stay in Kaohsiung.

Lai Ruilong also cited the phased opening of the New Taiwan Line 17 to traffic at the end of October as an example. He thanked Minister Liu Shifang, Legislator Li Boyi, and the central and city government teams for their long-term efforts. This road has gone through problems such as military land coordination and dormitory relocation. Only through the joint cooperation between the central and local governments can the bottleneck be gradually broken.

He asked villagers to support Huang Wenzhi, Li Yahui, Yin Li, and Zhang Yili to enter the parliament so that Zuoying can continue to prosper and Kaohsiung can continue to progress.

House Democratic leader expresses support for impeachment of Hegseth: He must step down

The Democratic Party won a big victory in the U.S. midterm elections, taking control of the Senate and House of Representatives. Jefferies, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives, is expected to become the speaker of the House of Representatives and expressed "absolute support" in impeaching Defense Secretary Hegseth, accusing him of abusing his power and undermining national security. Republican Congressman Massie plans to introduce an impeachment resolution as soon as the 9th.
