The exit of Braddock Town Hall faces Maple Road, an east-west road. To the south of the road is a low-cost supermarket called "Family Dollar". It has thousands of chain stores across the United States, most of which are located in suburban communities. , the goods inside are very cheap, many only cost one dollar.
Further south is Braddock Avenue. There is a poultry market, bookstore and two fast food restaurants on the roadside. Lunch at the town hall is basically ordered from here.
Noon is the peak time for dining, but there are not many people in the restaurant. Wang Lei and the others easily found two tables next to each other, and then ordered some burgers, fried chicken, French fries and Coke, and chatted while eating. With.
"Rex, school starts next week, will you still be busy by then?" Emily pulled a piece of napkin and wiped the table.
On the way, Wang Lei had already told them the general situation of the matter, and told them easily that everything was under his control, so that everyone could rest assured. Emily and others also feel that this should not be a problem. They believe that justice can always defeat evil, and the opposition of a small group of people cannot stop the general trend of reform at all.
"Of course, I appointed an assistant to the mayor. When I go to school, she can handle daily affairs on my behalf. I only need to be responsible for decision-making. Do you know who he is?" Wang Lei smiled and winked at Emily. blink.
Emily glared at him: "Huh, don't think I don't know. You have deceived my mother's trust. I tell you, you can't bully her."
"Wow, how dare I?" Wang Lei said with a laugh.
Wang Yang made a contemptuous gesture: "He doesn't dare. He's afraid that your mother won't approve of your continued relationship."
"My mother can't control who I date." Emily even stared at Wang Yang.
The food they ordered was delivered quickly, and the boss here delivered it himself. In fact, this fast food restaurant only hired one hourly worker to deliver food during the peak dining hours. The boss and his wife also served as chefs and waiters.
"Thank you, boss." Emily said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Rex. In fact, I have to thank you very much. Since you became famous, many reporters came to Braddock. They often dine here. Thank you for bringing me business." The boss is a A very cheerful black man, probably in his forties, who seemed very talkative.
Wang Lei shook his head and quickly swallowed the chicken in his mouth: "Haha, congratulations to you, don't worry, business will be better in the future."
"Really? But I think Hawke's new neighborhood plan is more likely to bring prosperity to Braddock's population, employment and business. Although your community plan is good, we lack enough job opportunities." The boss is obviously very happy He is concerned about the policy direction of the town. It is very close to the town hall and he is very well-informed.
Wang Lei quickly put down the burger in his hand, stood up and gestured to him: "No, no, no, you may not understand that in my plan, in addition to community revitalization, it also includes economic revitalization, but I don't think it should be demolished and rebuilt. There are enough houses in Braddock that can be used for companies, exhibitions, studios, shops and markets, and there is no need for new construction at all.¡±
"In addition, high-tech companies are not suitable for Braddock. Compared with other places, especially Pittsburgh and the towns closer to downtown Pittsburgh, the biggest problem with Braddock is that it is too old. It even looks shabby. Five years after the information highway project was carried out, Braddock does not even have optical cables. High-tech companies will not choose here." Wang Lei did not bother to eat at all and just stood there to explain his policy. plan, and why you should choose such a plan.
This is an ability that U.S. officials must master. Every decision they make needs to be open to voters and accept their supervision and opinions. If they disagree, they may go through various channels, including parliament, public opinion, face-to-face questioning, Express your opposition by directly delivering letters or even holding marches and rallies.
Especially with the existence of representative institutions like parliament, they will always listen to the voices of voters and then represent them in questioning the government.
¡°Some decisions that have a relatively large impact, involve a large number of people, or that the parliament deems necessary and have strong opposition must be submitted to a referendum so that voters can vote to decide whether they can be implemented.
In order for their policies to be supported and implemented smoothly, officials must constantly eliminate objections and let more people understand and support them. They cannot miss any opportunity to explain and persuade.
¡°A long history is also our advantage. We can develop cultural aspects.?Industry, I have communicated with some people in the economic field, experts and media reporters, and they all think this is a great idea. We have the earliest Carnegie Library, representatives of the early steel industry, the remains of the earliest large-scale steel mills, the typical town culture of the Monongahela Valley, and the unique community of multi-ethnic integration. Favorable conditions for us to develop cultural industries. "
"Well, what you said seems to make sense." The boss held the dinner plate in his hand and listened very carefully. After listening, he thought for a while before nodding.
"Of course, Hawke's plan has proven to be unworkable. In the two years he has been the mayor, his plan has not made any progress. Doesn't this explain the problem?" Emily picked up a glass of Coke and handed it to Wang. In front of Lei, she sometimes came to see Donna and would eat here. She was very familiar with the boss here and talked casually.
The boss immediately smiled and said: "Haha, you are right, Rex, now it is your time, we are all waiting to see your performance."
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." Wang Lei smiled and waved his fist.
The boss nodded happily, and when he was about to leave, he smiled and said to Wang Lei: "Anyway, I support the abolition of redundant organizations. Although this will affect my business, if Braddock can be Development is still good for me in the long run.¡±
"Thank you very much for your support." Wang Lei shook hands with the boss solemnly and expressed his gratitude to him.
He found that he still missed some things in his consideration. For example, the abolition of government redundancies may not only affect the laid off government employees and their families, but may even include businesses such as fast food restaurants that deal with government employees. He had to Think carefully about who else will be affected and whether it will be serious enough to affect his plans.
After the boss left with satisfaction, Wang Lei sat down and prepared to eat. By this time, everyone else had almost eaten. Luca and the others had no interest in boring political topics. They had already talked about the start of school next week.
After two months of summer vacation, they have begun to miss school life.
"The king of this homecoming must be my brother." Wang Hua will not enter high school until next year, but when talking about the homecoming of high school, she immediately waved her little fist excitedly.
"Wow, that's really cool." Luka couldn't help but twist his big butt again, and almost knocked over the simple plastic chair. He hurriedly grabbed Douglas to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Everyone laughed, and Colin nodded: "Yes, the chance is more than 50%."
¡°Compared to running for mayor, voting in school is simply weak.¡± Emily said with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true. Whether we can get votes depends entirely on the intensity of publicity. Look, didn't we just defeat Hawke in an upset?" Wang Lei was hungry. He ate a fried chicken nugget in two bites and picked up another one. A chicken burger.
He didn't have much expectations for this year's homecoming. As Emily said, after participating in the mayoral election and becoming the mayor of Braddock as he wished, he was full of thoughts about the town. Things, the games played by minors in school, in his opinion, were simply too weak.
Today is Thursday. School will start next Monday, with two days of classes, and then the Labor Day holiday. Homecoming at Woodland Hills High School is the last weekend of September, which is the 25th and 20th of next month. There will be various celebrations during the past six days and the previous week.
"Will any alumni attend the Homecoming Festival this year?" Wang Lei asked vaguely while eating. He had not paid attention to this news for a long time.
Every year during homecoming, some alumni of Woodland Hills High School return to school. Some of them have achieved some success, and among them they may be able to find some people who can be helpful to their plans.
