[Reporter Wang Rongxiang/Kaohsiung Report] The Kuomintang group of the Gaocheng Council criticized the city government's compilation of traffic fine revenue of 1.5 billion yuan is too high, and it is a punitive budget that squeezes citizens!

The Democratic Progressive Party group opposed the criticism of the Kuomintang group for using political saliva to confuse the public. Could it be that the city government will turn a blind eye and close one eye in the future, allowing traffic violations to create greater traffic risks and chaos for citizens.

Lan Ying believes that traffic fine revenue should be earmarked for special purposes, including improving the traffic environment and safety, as well as signal renewal and road renovation, etc., questioning whether the Kaohsiung City Government has really done it?

If the fine income is finally paid into the treasury and used by the high city government for other purposes to meet financial constraints, then the city government has compiled a fine income standard of 1.5 billion, which is robbing the citizens of money, because under the pressure of performance to meet the standards, the citizens will not be successful. A city hall ATM?

Jiang Ruihong, chief summoner of the Democratic Progressive Party, and Lin Zhihong, director-general of the Democratic Progressive Party, criticized the Kuomintang group in unison, emphasizing that the budget is currently on hold. Only one eye, allowing traffic violations to create greater traffic risks and chaos for citizens?

Jiang Ruihong said that in order to boycott the budget and bad-mouth Kaohsiung, the Kuomintang can even use "traffic fines" as a tool for hype. The way to confuse the public is not only to delay the discussion, but also to deliberately create panic and divide the confrontation between the public and the administrative department.

The Democratic Progressive Party group called on the KMT to keep a close eye on the pockets of the citizens, and should conduct rational supervision in line with common sense, instead of using populist language to vilify the "traffic fines" that were originally intended to protect citizens' road safety as "the city government's ATMs”, which severely damaged the morale of front-line traffic police and sacrificed the rights and interests of law-abiding citizens.
