[Reporter Lin Minzhen/Taichung Report] Taichung City Council held the second reading of the civil affairs and financial budgets yesterday. Green Camp members criticized the budget of this year's Taichung Shopping Festival as high as 370 million. Camp MPs objected.

Cai Qichang, a candidate for the mayoral election of Taichung from the DPP, believes that money should be spent on the cutting edge and not wasted.

Cai Qichang said that the city government has compiled a large budget for the shopping festival, and the money will be spent on the cutting edge. The original purpose was to drive the business district and other stores to increase their income. If the originally set performance goals cannot be achieved, the business owners will not get the benefits they deserve. , only to benefit specific businesses, such a policy should be reviewed.

Cai Qichang said that if he is the mayor in the future, he will work hard to promote the consumption of stores, but the key to the problem is the wrong method and practice. How to implement it is a demonstration of the government's ability. After Mayor Lu took office in Taichung Shopping Festival, many stores complained. Unable to feel the benefits brought by the shopping festival, Mayor Lu should first review why the design of the city government is not recognized by the public and supported by the store. This is the most important thing now.
