"I object. Institutional reform is a major matter. We cannot make a hasty decision. This plan is just a child's toy. Has it gone through detailed investigations, held hearings, and consulted experts? No, not at all."
As if being stimulated, Simone suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "We should improve the efficiency of the government and provide more services to residents. What we provide now is not more, but less. Many poor families, The elderly and sick cannot be taken care of, and the government is not with them. We must reflect and improve the way we work, instead of completely abandoning it and doing nothing"
"Of course, I am not opposed to cutting down some departments that are repetitive and really have nothing to do, but we must first confirm that they really have nothing to do, and then we can cut them, rather than just slap our heads on the decision. This is Braddock, not Pittsburgh. , and not Cambridge." Simone's mouth was like a machine gun, firing out a series of bullets. She was also a veteran parliamentarian and knew when to say something and how to make her words sound high-sounding, even if she objected The real reason is not that.
Wang Lei reached out and knocked on the table: "Semonie, if you say I'm a child again, I will consider suing you. This is age discrimination."
Simone stared at Wang Lei. Because of her excitement, her plump and towering breasts were rising and falling violently. Her heavy breathing was like a bellows, making a huffing and puffing sound: "I'm just making a comparison. Only children will do it without investigation. If you come up with a plan casually, have you considered the consequences?"
Obviously, Simone is not worried about being sued. It is normal to have quarrels in parliamentary meetings, both in the federal parliament and the state parliament, not to mention the town council. Simone even had a scuffle with people, and she let that bitch Her son hid at home for a month, afraid to go out, and she was still Braddock's town councillor.
"I object too. It's not fair to the hard-working employees." Marquez threw Wang Lei's plan on the table and said expressionlessly.
"Uh, Brady, what do you think?" Jeff raised the document in his hand and seemed a little hesitant. This plan came too suddenly, although he felt that what Wang Lei said made sense. The government should be streamlined and become more streamlined. Efficient.
But this plan was proposed by Wang Lei. He did not have any objections to Wang Lei, but just felt that such an important matter should not be led by an eighteen-year-old boy with no administrative experience. Even if his intentions are good, he will mess up.
Yes, it will definitely mess up.
Jeff is not willing to come out and be a bad guy, but he has forgotten that once Brady supports Wang Lei's plan, there will be a two-vote situation. He is the key vote and the easiest to remember. of.
Brady carefully looked at the plan in his hand. It was very simple and everything that should be considered was taken into consideration. It included some of his ideas and they had discussed this aspect.
But he didn¡¯t expect that Wang Lei would actually take action, at the first parliamentary meeting.
Should we say that he is impulsive and ignorant? Brady glanced at Wang Lei and felt that it shouldn't be the case. Like most American teenagers, Wang Lei is enthusiastic, cheerful, sunny, optimistic, and open-minded. However, he also has some Asian advantages, such as diligence, humility, calmness, willingness to think and learn, etc. What's more important is that Wang Lei is very smart. He doesn't know the difficulty and consequences of this matter, but he still comes forward.
"I support it!" Brady suddenly made a decision. Wang Lei wasn't afraid, so what else was he afraid of? Most of the people who supported his election were white people, right-wingers and corporate acquaintances in the town. This bill represented their interests and they would definitely support it.
Brady sat upright and looked at the others seriously: "I ask everyone to seriously consider that we are town council members. We are sitting here to discuss matters on behalf of the residents of Braddock. Any choice we make , should all represent their interests in order to better provide services to them.¡±
"Yes, the residents need more services, not the other way around." Simone objected loudly. The members of the representative system cannot represent all residents, but specific groups. Everyone has different interests and demands. Simone's supporters are mainly black people, women, and unemployed poor people.
Marquez lowered his head and fiddled with the pen in his hand without saying a word.
Wang Lei tapped the table with his fingers: "We are streamlining staff, not streamlining services. Overstaffing is the biggest enemy of service. It makes us lack efficiency, response speed, and service attitude."
"What you are saying are all empty words. If there is no one, who will serve everyone?" Simone immediately retorted.
Jeff raised his hand, he became the key vote: "Uh, I think this matter is very important and we should be cautious. Butthe government does have too many agencies and employees and should be streamlined and made more efficient. "
"Jeff, do you know what you are talking about?" Simone was very excited at first after listening to Jeff's words, thinking that he would object. That would be three against two. If they win, that little kid Wang Lei will just I can squat on one side and cry. Unexpectedly, the Mexican took a turn, and Simone immediately went berserk and yelled at Jeff.
Jeff was spat on, and he glared at Simone angrily: "Semonie, I know what I'm talking about. I think the residents of the town will agree with this plan. I was elected by them." , so I support it.¡±
"I object, I don't agree, we can't be kidnapped by a little boy!" Simone shouted hysterically. She couldn't accept the result. She was defeated by the little boy.
But no one supported her. Marquis just lowered his head and said nothing.
"I protest, this meeting can't be held." Simone suddenly picked up her folder, stuffed it into a huge canvas bag hurriedly, and then rushed out of the conference room like a whirlwind in front of everyone's astonished eyes. .
"I'm leaving too, I have to wash the customer's car." Marquis suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.
"Uh! This is really" Jeff spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face. If it were a formal vote, Wang Lei's plan would be passed three to two. However, it was just a discussion, not a formal vote. Simone and Marquis walked out in protest. Now there are only three people left. According to usual practice, the meeting can no longer proceed.
"Oh!" The auditorium was as noisy as a vegetable market. What did they see? This is such a farce that some members actually walked out.
¡°Rex was awesome, getting rid of the bitch Seimone who was always trying to control the council.¡±
"Yes, I support Rex. Braddock has so many bureaucrats. Oh, it's unimaginable."
"But after the government cuts, will anyone still handle my garbage?"
¡°Rex is so impulsive.¡±
"Damn, this little brat wants to fire my husband. What do you know? My husband has to work overtime every day and has endless work. He works hard for you. Do you just want to abandon him like this?"
Just like the dispute at the conference table, the thirty small town residents who were watching also got into a quarrel at this time. Their views were not consistent. Most people supported it, some had doubts, and some felt that the reform It was necessary, but Rex was too impulsive and he did not have the ability to lead such a reform.
There are also people who express dissatisfaction. They either have relationships with government officials or enjoy the convenience provided by the government.
"Rex, what are your plans?" Cynthia looked at Wang Lei, her voice was gentle and contagious, making people unconsciously inspired.
Wang Lei threw the pen on the table, crossed his hands on the notebook, and showed a faint but firm smile on his face: "Obviously, I will remain steadfast."
