    Donna and Belinda looked at each other. Donna looked back at Wang Lei and said, "It depends on what you plan to do. It is to compromise with the employees and give up your plan"

    "This is impossible, we can't give up halfway." Wang Lei waved his hand fiercely and said decisively.  If he can't even do such an obvious thing that he should do, he might as well give up the idea of ??becoming president and stop entering politics.

    "Unless I am no longer in the position of mayor."

    Donna shrugged: "Then you have a lot to do, find a way to keep the government functioning at a minimum, we can't paralyze Braddock, and then advance your plan and win the understanding of the striking employees,  Ask them to come back.¡±

    "I understand." Wang Lei nodded. Although Donna said it simply, it was the key points, and he knew how to do it.

    "Okay, now I want to know the information of all employees, focusing on their contract periods. Is there no problem?" Wang Lei looked at Donna and Belinda: "I can only rely on you now."

    "The people from the Human Resources Bureau are also on strike, but I can find out their contract, which may take a while." Belinda thought for a while and said.

    "Okay, let's hurry up." Wang Lei watched Belinda walk out the door, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number.

    ¡°Hi Jaxon, hello, I¡¯m Rex.¡±

    Wang Lei made this call to the town lawyer Jaxon: "There is trouble in the town. I need your help. I have some legal questions to ask. When will you be free?"

    "Okay, then I'll go find you and prepare some information first." Wang Lei put down the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up quickly, and looked up at Donna.

    ¡°What happens if the town government stops functioning?¡±

    "It's hard to say. If it were a normal situation, maybe nothing would happen. Everyone would still be eating, working and sleeping as usual. We just need to find people to clean up the streets, keep an eye on those illegal elements, and keep the town from being chaotic.  Okay." Donna thought for a while and said.

    It is not uncommon for local governments in the United States to shut down, and even the federal government will shut down. In the past 22 years, the federal government has shut down 17 times, with an average of one in less than two years.  During Clinton's term, this happened twice, and the federal government was shut down for a maximum of 21 days.

    During this period, more than 1 million federal employees were forced to go home to rest and were unable to receive wages.  Parks and museums are closed, national medical institutions are closed, visas and passports cannot be processed, and even the garbage in the city is left uncollected.

    Of course, the so-called shutdown does not mean that all government departments will cease operations, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Postal Service, the Treasury Department¡¯s Treasury bond issuance, the federal health insurance program, the unemployment benefits program, and Pentagon military personnel, etc. will not be affected.  , still have to go to work on time and maintain the most limited government.

    "Okay! So, if it is a minimum level of operation, what needs to be done? Municipal management, as well as the police station and fire station, they must return to their posts immediately. What else is there?"

    Wang Lei has been studying the operation of the government this month and how to be a qualified mayor. He has read many books, including history, documentary, biography and political science monographs. Brady, Abel and others also gave him a lot of advice.  , so he was not at a loss, but tried to make arrangements based on what he knew, and let Donna supplement it.

    "I will contact the municipal government. In addition, there is no one in the Budget Execution Bureau, so we can't get the money; there is no one in the Human Resources Bureau, and we are not familiar with the employment contract; and the Administration Bureau" Donna picked up a piece from the table.  On the white paper, I wrote on the bottom with a pencil, and quickly wrote densely on a piece of paper.

    "Municipality, public security, fire protection, finance, personnel, administration, relief You know, I am only in charge of the Public Utilities Bureau and have worked in the Budget Bureau. I am not very clear about the affairs of other departments and cannot guarantee that I have not missed anything.  ." Donna frowned and thought for a while, then wrote a few more items on the paper.

    Wang Lei took a blank sheet of paper and looked at it. These matters involved most departments. If Donna had another look at it, she would definitely be able to write a lot more. He picked up a pen and scratched out a few items: "Now is an extraordinary period. We can only do this for everyone."  The most basic services are provided to residents.¡±

    "I've always thought so." Donna said with a smile.

    "Haha, I know, the Conservative Party's small governmentism, to a certain extent, I support and am practicing it. But we can't forget those vulnerable groups, they need the government's help, you know, the power of individuals will always  It¡¯s trivial.¡±

    Wang Lei read through the items written by Donna one by one, and finally felt confident. He used a pencil to write on it.He knocked on his face and said: "Okay, let us split up. You take care of the municipal management first, and I will go to the police station. Don't worry, we have the support of the residents, and they can't afford to make big waves."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???  But he couldn't care about that anymore. He had to try his best to save the current situation to prevent Braddock and the residents of Braddock from being affected by the strike.

    "Rex"

    Donna looked at Wang Lei and was about to say something when suddenly there was a burst of noise outside. She stood up and walked to the window and immediately shouted: "My God!"

    "What happened?" Wang Lei asked.

    "The residents are protesting" Belinda hurried in, her face frighteningly ugly.

    "Outside were the residents of the town, about forty or fifty people, and others were joining in one after another. They were protesting against the government's cuts in public services. They also said and said that the town mayor wanted to take their free lunches in exchange for his football field.  "

    "**!" Wang Lei punched the table. What he was most worried about finally happened. There was no support from the residents, yes, no one supported him.  Not only did they not agree with his plan, they even opposed it and gathered in crowds to protest.

    Wang Lei bit his lip, his face pale.  He rushed to the glass window, opened the blinds with a swipe, and saw dozens of people gathered at the door of the town hall through the window. Many people held signs that read: "You want to eat, not the stadium."

    "We want order."

    "Little boy, go back to school."

    "Rex¡ª¡ª" Donna stood next to Wang Lei, staring at him with a heavy gaze, which seemed to contain regret, pity, sympathy, and heartache

    "This is politics. There is no distinction between black and white, no justice, nothing is good or bad There are only interests. This is true for politicians, employees, and the people"

    Wang Lei's breathing became very rapid, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently. The world in his ideal world was not like this, it was definitely not like this.

    There should be politicians there, politicians who do everything for America and the American people, without any personal desires; there should also be simple people there, who put aside all prejudices and selfish desires for the sake of freedom, democracy, equality, for the people, and for the people.  People; every American should have the Constitution of the United States of America in their heart, strive for an American dream, and actively participate in political life.

    But no, at least what he saw was that his Braddock wasn't.
