[Reporter Wang Shanyan/Report from Chiayi] Chiayi mayor is sprinting before the election. Former Vice President Chen Jianren went to Chiayi City today to support the Democratic Progressive Party’s Chiayi mayor candidate Li Junyu. He said that Li Junyu is an outstanding political figure. He has served in the government and is his good colleague. If he can be elected as the mayor of Chiayi, he will definitely make Chiayi a better city.

Chen Jianren arrived at Li Junbai's campaign headquarters at 11:00 this morning, and then he and Huang Luhui, chairman of the Chiayi City Department of the Democratic Progressive Party, took a chariot to accompany Li Junbai's motorcade to sweep the streets. People along the way waved flags and cheered in response.

Chen Jianren said that Li Junyu's political proposals, including subsidizing the elders over 65 years old to wear dentures, subsidizing elders over 75 years old for 10,000 yuan a year for health checkups, and raising maternity subsidies to 20,000 yuan, are all very helpful to the public. The construction of the light rail has made great contributions to the future development of Jiashi. I hope that the villagers will fully support Li Junyou and let him provide better services for the villagers.

When Li Junyu gave a speech at Miaokou last night, he proposed to expand the use of the elderly caring card, including the use of Taiwan Railways, taxis, etc., which received a lot of response.

Li Junyu said that the love card is for people over the age of 65 or those who have handbooks for people with disabilities, but the use of the Chiayi City Love Card is limited to the use of Chiayi Line buses and Chiayi Bus. However, Chiayi City's public transportation rate is the lowest in the country. "Do you want to invite 7,80 Year-old elders ride YouBike with a love card?"

Li Junyu said that both Taipei City and Taichung City have implemented love cards to be used in taxis. Huang Minhui has been delayed for 13 years, so don't delay any more. When he becomes mayor in the future, he will implement it immediately. Taiwan Railway also announced that 14 counties and cities can use love cards. Chiayi City is not among the 14 counties and cities that take the Taiwan Railway. In the future, it will cooperate with the central government's policy and let the love card function. This is the best way to take care of the elders.
