[Reporter Su Jinfeng/Taichung Report] The Taichung City Council held an interim meeting today to discuss the city government’s first additional budget of 17.2 billion yuan for commissioning. It was questioned by the green camp that it violated the ancillary resolution of the previous council that no additional budget could be compiled. Under the strong opposition of the DPP Taichung City Council group, the "Consumer Jinxisong" 350 million additional budget failed to be commissioned, but it can be proposed at the next meeting. The review, that is, the city government’s first supplementary budget was reduced from 17.2 billion to 16.9 billion.

DPP city councilor Jiang Zhaoguo said that he opposed the first reading, because once the third reading is legally effective, how can the city council make a fuss? All the parties and groups turned their backs after only 5 months, and they also talked about the fact that the central government issued 6,000 yuan, so how to ensure mutual trust between the government in the future.

In order to express their opposition, members of the DPP city council party group rushed to the meeting place, shouting and holding "illegal additions, contempt of parliament" hands. The council has decided not to increase the budget for the shopping festival, and the city government is in contempt of the council.

In the end, Speaker Zhang Qingzhao announced that 350 million yuan will be withdrawn from the "Consumer Gold Gift", and the proposal will be submitted for review at the next meeting, which means that the city government may propose it at the first regular meeting.
