Nantou County Mayor Xu Shuhua's 100-day Administration List of Problems

Coordinating other counties and cities to assist incineration is not a long-term solution, but the location of the facility is vulnerable to local protests

[Reporter Zhang Xiesheng/Nantou Report] There is no incinerator in Nantou County, and the problem of garbage dumping has long been criticized by the public. Garbage wars break out from time to time, accumulating public grievances. The county magistrate Xu Shuhua, who is about to complete her 100th day in office, how to overcome local resistance and build a The independent garbage disposal facilities will fundamentally solve the garbage problem in the county, which will be the most urgent policy issue that she needs to solve.

As the first female county magistrate in Nantou County, Xu Shuhua showed a friendly attitude to the people after taking office. She presided over meetings and surveyed local construction, etc., and her performance was also very good. County colleagues generally believed that Xu Shuhua was more serious and pragmatic than expected, paid attention to the efficiency of meetings, and was able to grasp the key points , specifying the desired effect.

The garbage problem in Nantou County was fermented in this legislative by-election, which affected the election. Xu Shuhua also regarded it as the top priority of governance. After she took office, she actively communicated and coordinated with counties and cities to assist Nantou incineration of garbage. It is expected that 80,000 tons of garbage will be disposed of annually.

Build a disaster prevention APP and start ZRP video diagnosis and treatment

In addition, considering the frequent natural disasters in Nantou in the past, Xu Shuhua planned to build a disaster prevention APP immediately after taking office, and also coordinated with the Taichung Veterans General Association to cooperate with the county hospital to start video diagnosis and treatment. The county government allocates or manages it, hoping to achieve the purpose of revitalizing Zhongxing New Village.

However, transshipment of garbage is not a long-term solution. The county government is seeking to build its own garbage treatment facilities. However, since the location of the establishment is prone to local protests, whether there will be concrete results during his tenure will test Xu Shuhua's wisdom and courage in governance.

Secondly, the population of Nantou County has been immigrating and aging seriously. It has fallen below 480,000 people and has entered a "super-aged society." How the county government can promote economic development and improve the employment environment to drive the return of young and middle-aged population, the public will wait and see.

Green camps should avoid nepotism in promoting personnel

In addition, the national land plan redesignates functional zoning. Nantou County has a high proportion of hillside land. Many lands that have been planted with tea and other crops for a long time have been designated as conservation areas.

Zeng Congkai, former executive director of the Nantou County Party Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that the traffic in Nantou is seriously inconvenient. I hope the county magistrate Xu proposed to set up a car-sharing transfer center in Puli and other places and extend the Taichung MRT to Nantou. In terms of personnel, we should avoid nepotism from affecting the operation of the county government, and don't let new people and new policies become short-lived.

Hong Zhijie, executive director of the Nantou County Youth Returning Home Service Association, suggested that the county magistrate should propose more specific measures to improve the shortage of medical care, education and employment resources in the county, so that young people are willing to stay and return to their hometowns and save the population loss.

How to fundamentally solve the garbage problem in the county will be a governance issue to test the county magistrate Xu Shuhua.
