Yilan County Magistrate candidate Lin Guozhang attended the Yilan University Youth Forum yesterday. In order to "retain talents," he proposed the "North Yilan Double Heart" plan at the meeting, hoping to create a base for young people to build dreams. He has taught at Yilan University for 17 years, and now he returns to the podium as a candidate to discuss the future with young people, which is of far-reaching significance.

Lin Guozhang recalled that as a "Beimen boy", he was deeply honored by Chen Dingnan's "Yilan experience" in the past, which prompted him to resolutely give up the opportunity to return to his hometown after passing the bar exam in Taipei. Over the past 30 years, he has continued to devote himself professionally to the Legal Aid, Social University and Yida. He has always stayed in his hometown and stood firmly with his fellow villagers.

In response to the "Beijing-Yida Twin Hearts", Lin Guozhang said that he would seize the opportunity of high-speed rail extension to connect the Shuangbei Science Park to develop AI and biotechnology industries, and called on Yida to jointly cultivate talents. In terms of transportation, he promised to optimize public transportation, combining U-Bike and Xiaohuang buses to solve the commuting difficulties of young people and create convenient human-oriented transportation.

Faced with the housing and environmental issues that students are concerned about, Lin Guozhang proposed specific countermeasures and promised to build 400 youth and marriage residences in the future, which will substantially reduce the pressure on the young generation to start a family. At the same time, he promoted the "300 miniature forests" project to continue Yilan's environmental protection brand and allow the industrial economy and green environment to go hand in hand.

Students enthusiastically asked questions about renting houses, diverse families, etc. Lin Guozhang responded one by one and affirmed young people's participation in public affairs. He promised that in the future, the county government will build a smooth two-way communication platform and incorporate the voices of the younger generation, so that everyone can find their dreams, implement their ideas, and retire in Yilan, becoming a happy and secure city.

Lin Guozhang was welcomed by Yi university students, and they even showed love to each other. (Provided by Lin Guozhang Bidding Organizer)

Taoyuan's latest poll" Huang Shijie lags behind by 4.1%. Experts: The flaw is lack of popularity

The People's Association released a poll on the Taoyuan mayoral election. Kuomintang candidate Zhang Shanzheng's support was 36.9%, leading DPP candidate Huang Shijie's 32.8%. The gap between the two parties was 4.1 percentage points, which was already within the margin of error. Huang Shijie's biggest flaw is his lack of popularity. More than 55% of voters have no opinion on his suitability to serve as mayor.

The Blue Committee proposes 11 bills to amend the law to increase pensions. The Ministry of National Defense is worried about the impact on the retention of troops and the sustainability of pension funds.

The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan will review the 11 "Draft Amendment to Article 39 of the Service Regulations for Army, Navy, and Air Force Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers" proposed by KMT legislators and others tomorrow (11th). It plans to amend the retirement salary adjustment standards, frequency and indicators, including adjusting when the cumulative CPI growth rate reaches ±2%, ±3% or ±5%, or reviewing it at least every 2 to 4 years. Another proposal advocates simultaneous review with active-duty personnel salary increases. The Ministry of National Defense objected in a written report, believing that the current mechanism is sufficient. If it is adjusted simultaneously with active-duty salaries, it may reduce the willingness of officers and soldiers to serve long-term, affecting the stability of the force's manpower and the sustainability of retirement funds.

Wu Bingrui calls for the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to be allowed to be used for publicity. You Yinglong: I am happy to see the colorful democracy in Taiwan.

As the nine-in-one election approaches, Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wu Bingrui suggested that venues such as the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and the Sun Yat-Senior Memorial Hall be opened for election activities 2 to 3 months before the election due to the road occupied by the campaign convoy and the impact on traffic. Executive President Zhuo Rongtai said this is a "good idea". Culture Minister Li Yuan said that if there is consensus from all walks of life, the Ministry of Culture is willing to cooperate in the implementation of relevant law amendments; You Yinglong, chairman of the Central Election Committee, believes that the space restrictions for democratic activities can be reviewed. Wu Bingrui also suggested moving the polling day to Sunday and giving the next day a holiday. Zhuo Rongtai said that the government would consider it carefully with an open mind.
