    Brady suddenly leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair, looking helplessly at the white ceiling. Before that, he specifically told Wang Lei some things to pay attention to when taking office. Now it seems that he didn't take it to heart at all.  superior.

    He actually wanted to change the town's organizational structure from the beginning. Yes, Braddock's government agencies are very bloated, with duplicate functions, overstaffing, low efficiency, and poor service attitudes But this is the hardest job of all.  Bones, because he will immediately cause a backlash, including various types of non-cooperation, inactivity, deliberate mischief, and even joint strikes by the staff.

    As an eighteen-year-old mayor who has just taken office and is full of doubts, Wang Lei is almost digging his own grave by doing this. No one will listen to him.

    "Oh, Rex, do you know what you are talking about?" Jeff slapped his forehead hard. He couldn't believe what Wang Lei said. He is really a young man, and the ignorant are fearless.

    "Yes!" Wang Lei nodded: "To be precise, I just want to reform Braddock's government institutions. This set of institutions was left over from the past. It is no longer suitable for the current Braddock.  Ruddock had nearly 20,000 people in the Fifties and 10,000 in the Seventies, but now it only has 2,000 people and doesn't need that many government officials."

    "Oh, little boy, do you know how much the government has to do? We have to take care of the elderly in Braddock, the children, the people who don't have jobs, we have to give every Braddock a drink of clean running water,  There are green spaces in front of the door, smooth roads, and clean streets. When they are in need, the government will be with them. You haven¡¯t even served as mayor for a day, and you don¡¯t know anything, so you say you want to lay off these hard-working people.  Hard-working people, oh, damn it, should I call your teacher over?" Simone stood up excitedly, her body almost lying on the table, and let out a series of roars at Wang Lei opposite.

    "You will mess up our government and make things a mess. I ask you to resign, resign immediately!"

    Simone was very excited, she thought Wang Lei was dead!  Yes, he is looking for death!

    "Oh, if that's the case, I'll leave first. I have to wash someone's car." Marquis closed the notebook in front of him angrily and slapped the table heavily.

    The low-pitched discussions in the spectator seats fell silent, and suddenly, like a flock of wild ducks that were startled, a burst of violent noise erupted.  They all became very excited, a good show was taking place before their eyes.

    "Rex, is this your idea, or is it a plan that needs to be formally submitted to the parliament?" Cynthia was also surprised, but her expression remained calm throughout. She looked at Wang Lei and said,  Even with a hint of appreciation.

    ¡°If it¡¯s just an idea, then it doesn¡¯t matter if you take it back, it¡¯s just a joke, a farce.  Although this will doom Wang Lei to lose his prestige and the trust of government employees in him.

    But if it is a formal plan, then he dropped a big bomb on the first day he took office. This will be a war, an extremely hot and difficult war.

    "It's a plan!" Wang Lei's expression became very serious. He stood up, pushed away his chair, walked over and delivered the bound documents to everyone, including the town secretary Dwayne: "I  Looking at the situation in other towns, they have about eight full-time government employees per 1,000 residents, but in Braddock, the number is twice as high, to seventeen. Note that many wealthy people  This is true of towns and cities, and Braddock is one of the poorest towns in America, with one-third of our families living below the poverty line."

    "I would like to ask all the members, why should we have twice as many government employees as other towns?" Wang Lei walked back to his seat. He did not sit back immediately, but put his hands on the table.  Sharp eyes swept across the faces of several town councilors one by one, with very serious expressions.

    After winning the election, Wang Lei began to understand the mayor's responsibilities, working methods, government organizational structure, etc. from all aspects. He was frightened by what he learned.  It turns out that 80% of Braddock's total budget is used to pay salaries to government workers, and another 10% is used to pay overtime and benefits, which means that 90% of the money is spent  Among government employees, only 10% of the budget is spent on public affairs such as road construction and greening.

    Wang Lei didn¡¯t want to take drastic measures as soon as he took office, but he had no choice. He had to do things, and he had to spend money to do them. He couldn¡¯t just watch the town¡¯s money being wasted on redundant employees.

    So he can only explode. Once the town council determines the employment contract of a new employee, it will become quite troublesome to terminate the contract in the future.

    Wang Lei knows very well that if he wants to carry out such a reform, he will definitely encounter very, very strong resistance, but he has no hesitation and he will not be the mayor of Braddock for too long.?He must remove all obstacles to the development of the town in a very short period of time, including those redundant staff who are idle and even council members with backward ideas.

    Faced with Wang Lei's gaze, Simone's eyes flashed, and she turned her head guiltily, but she was still arguing: "You don't understand, what do you know? It is precisely because we are a poor town that the poor need more  service.¡±

    "Oh, so, do we provide more services?" Wang Lei stared at Simone and asked unceremoniously.

    Simone did not dare to look at Wang Lei: "We we are working hard, this should be our work goal!"

    Wang Lei reached out and patted the notebook in front of him: "Yes, this should be our goal. For this goal, we should cut down, merge, or replace departments that cannot provide better services with public organizations instead of maintaining a  A bloated government that is inefficient, slow, and unserviceable.¡±

    Wang Lei said a few words that left Simone speechless. Someone in the auditorium couldn't help but cheer: "Oh, well said, Rex, we support you."

    Wang Lei turned his head and nodded to the place where the sound came from. Several arms were raised there, and they raised their thumbs high. As a small town resident, they obviously support the layoff of government employees. Americans are naturally full of government.  distrust.

    "What about the employees?" Marquis asked in a deep voice. He is a former government employee and was elected as a member of Congress with the support of these current employees. Even if he thinks what Wang Lei said is reasonable, he must fight for their interests.  .

    "The purpose of streamlining the organization is to better serve the residents of the town. We will boost the economic revitalization of the town and promote employment. Our goal is to allow everyone who works hard to live a prosperous life, including those who  Government employee." Wang Lei sat down and put his hand on his notebook, where he had his detailed plan.

    "I support the reform plan and always believe that small government is what Americans need." Cynthia put down the plan she had just browsed and was the first to express her support.
