Changhua County Magistrate Urges Legislators to Back Development Project on Same Day Opponent Holds Forum

Changhua County Magistrate Wang Hui-mei released a statement early on August 12, urging local legislators to champion the "Water Five Metals Specific Area" project. This move came on the same day that Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate for county magistrate, Legislator Chen Su-yue, was scheduled to hold a public forum on the same development zone.

Chen Su-yue had announced her forum the previous day, inviting central government agencies including the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, along with the Changhua County Government. The forum aimed to discuss the project's progress and timeline for completion.

The revised plan for the 'Water Five Metals Specific Area' has been submitted to the Ministry of the Interior again yesterday for review, hoping to be included in the Urban Planning Committee meeting, so that land development and industrial transformation can be accelerated.

In her statement, Magistrate Wang announced that a revised plan for the "Water Five Metals Specific Area" had been submitted to the Ministry of the Interior the day before. She specifically called on five local legislators, including Chen Su-yue, to lobby the ministry for the project's approval, pledging the county government's full cooperation. Wang expressed hope for the project's swift passage, framing it as a crucial step for land development and industrial transformation.

The timing of Wang's press release, issued just hours before Chen's public forum and explicitly naming the legislators, has been noted. Chen's campaign team responded to inquiries by stating they would not comment on the matter, emphasizing that the scheduled forum was intended to address industry concerns.

We will cooperate with all the committee members to achieve the goal in one fell swoop and pass it smoothly in the near future.
