Lin Kuo-chang joins Yilan team for living room meeting, discusses county development vision

Democratic Progressive Party's Yilan County Magistrate candidate Lin Kuo-chang held a "Tea and Cake Living Room Meeting" at the Gan Ying Temple in Yilan City, aiming to rally support and present his vision for the county. He was joined by Legislator Chen Chun-yu and several other party officials, projecting an image of strong green camp unity.

Lin Kuo-chang, who was born near the temple, emphasized his deep roots in Yilan, stating he was not merely running for election. He highlighted the critical importance of extending the high-speed rail and elevating the railway lines to seamlessly connect Yilan with the central government, which he believes is essential for pushing forward major infrastructure projects. He also pledged to deepen historical tourism in the old city area.

High-speed rail extension and railway elevation are the lifeblood of Yilan's development. Only by seamlessly connecting with the central government can major construction projects be smoothly promoted.

Legislator Chen Chun-yu strongly criticized the opposition parties, accusing them of "world-record" delays in passing the central government's budget and of "colluding" to block a special budget for drones, which he argued impacts national defense and local development. Chen questioned the opposition's ability to govern the county if they obstruct national budgets, urging voters to support the "Yilan Team."

The event also featured strong backing for Yilan City mayoral candidate Han Ying, who promised to increase subsidies for newborns and infants, double the elderly gift allowance, and improve downtown parking. The gathering included prominent figures like former Magistrate Chiang Tsung-yuan and County Councilor Lin Li, underscoring the united front presented by the green camp. Supporters chanted slogans like "Yilan Team Forward, Aim for Majority in Council" to signal their commitment to Yilan's future.

The central government's general budget has not yet been reviewed, which is a 'world miracle.' The special budget for drones, which concerns national security, was blocked by the blue and white parties, and Blue legislator Wu Tsung-hsien also participated. This not only impacts national defense but also stifles local development. If the opponent maliciously obstructs the national budget, how can they govern the county well?
