[Reporter Zheng Shuting/Taoyuan Report] Taoyuan City Councilor Shu Cuiling yesterday raised a question in the Taoyuan City Council regarding the subsidy project of the "Taoyuan City Charity Lottery Surplus Distribution Fund" from 2018 to 2020. Afterwards, a press release satirized Shu "not aware of the budget law." Today Shu Cuiling was accompanied by party chief Liang Weichao and congressman Chen Meimei to hold a press conference, demanding that the DPP group make a public and written apology within 3 days, otherwise legal action will be taken; the DPP afternoon Respond with 3 points, and did not respond positively to the request for apology.

The public welfare lottery surplus is exclusively used for social welfare and taking care of the disadvantaged. At the end of last year, the Oversight Council corrected that the Taoshi government’s use of this fund to subsidize the projects was not consistent with social welfare. It even subsidized the clan associations and fellowship associations with sufficient financial resources. The family association conducts commendations for the elderly, but the effectiveness of the activity is only "the elders are very happy to participate in the activity", and the average of all subsidy items is the highest on board.

Shu Cuiling pointed out in questioning yesterday that the former mayor Zheng Wencan used the public welfare lottery surplus fund to do non-social welfare things, and spent a total of 210 million yuan. As a result, the mayor Zhang Shanzheng has to pay the bill. At present, the Taoshi government has returned 60 million yuan. 150 million yuan will be returned to the public welfare lottery surplus fund in the next few years; Zhang Shanzheng also confirmed that the central government wants the city government to return the 210 million yuan of wrong subsidies. Prepare a budget.

The Democratic Progressive Party group issued a press release yesterday to ridicule Shu Cuiling, "I don't know the budget law, and the content of the question mistakenly interpreted the preparation of the official budget to replenish the surplus distribution fund of the Taoyuan Public Lottery Lottery, and interpreted it as returning the funds to the central government. It is really shaking the head. Mayor Zhang Shanzheng served The Premier, who has no financial knowledge, also believes in this kind of erroneous view that created the whole country, and agrees with Councilor Shu's statement, which is an eye-opener."

Shu Cuiling replayed the questioning video today. She never said "return the funds to the central government". She bombarded the DPP group for framing and smearing, seriously insulting her professional ability and personality as a member of parliament, and questioned the ridiculous and pathetic practices of the DPP group. There is only one purpose, which is to try to divert the correction of Zheng Wencan by the Supervisory Council, and also to highlight that the DPP group either is not serious, does not work hard, does not work hard, and does not even understand the content of her question, or it is to divert the focus and escort Zheng Wencan, The transfer of Zheng Wencan was pointed out by the Supervisory Council's correction report that he was the chief executive who did not abide by financial discipline the most. This sum of money is seriously squeezed out of the official budget and policy implementation of the Taoyuan City Government.

The Democratic Progressive Party group responded with three points. First, yesterday’s press release clarified based on news media reports; second, the Taoshi government did not clarify the official budget to supplement the "Taoyuan Public Lottery Surplus Distribution Fund" when questioned by the councilors. In fact, it is only to adjust the city government funds between different financial sources, which will not affect the total amount of funds available to the city government as a whole, nor will it affect the total amount of funds available to the social bureau. There is no so-called "return of funds to the central government" problem; Third, the Democratic Progressive Party Group respects the power of parliamentarians to ask questions, and also asks councilors to play the role of correcting the audience and conveying correct information when questioning.
