    "Derek, do you think government employees can strike at will?" Wang Lei asked, looking at an old white man in his sixties at the front of the crowd.

    Derek immediately shook his head: "No, you can't. Their work affects many people, so you can't strike casually."

    Many people were shaking their heads. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Simone quickly said: "Rex, don't shirk your responsibility. The employees don't want to go on strike. The strike will not do them any good. You are the one who forced it."  Fuck around.¡±

    "What did I do? I didn't fire anyone. I just told everyone that Braddock's government agency was too bloated and needed to be streamlined."

    "Yes, this will hurt the interests of some employees, but the existence of redundant staff has hurt the interests of Braddock residents. Can we turn a blind eye and watch them waste taxpayers' money?" Wang Lei said loudly  Still, the shock of the beating was still there, no one dared to cause trouble, they were all listening quietly.

    "Derek, tell me, should the bloated organization and redundant employees be streamlined?"

    Derek looked at Simone and hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes, it should be streamlined, but it must be redundant and the method must be paid attention to."

    ¡°It cannot affect the services provided by the government.¡± Someone added next to it.

    Wang Lei looked at the other party: "Rachel, what are you worried about?"

    "Our old house has an annual maintenance subsidy. I heard that you are going to cancel it." Rachel is a fat black woman in her forties. She and many others are fighting for that subsidy of several hundred dollars a year.  The subsidy comes, although the money is not much, but it is also a good income for them.

    "Who said that? Rachel, who told you this? I didn't say that."

    "In fact, I just came to the town hall yesterday, and I didn't even know that such a subsidy existed." Wang Lei smiled and spread his hands. He could beat the cripple, but he had to be polite to these ordinary residents.  explained angrily.

    ¡°Otherwise, it is really self-destruction.

    "The people from the Redevelopment Authority should tell me about this before going on strike so that I can give the money to you myself. As you all know, they all say that I have no administrative experience, all I have is a heart to serve everyone.  That¡¯s all.¡±

    Someone laughed at Wang Lei's humor. Rachel looked at the others in confusion. They obviously had the same confusion: "Oh, but Rashad said that you are going to lay off the Redevelopment Agency, so the money will be gone."  ¡­¡±

    Wang Lei smiled feebly. These lovely residents were really easily deceived: "Rachel, you have to understand that the subsidy for repairing the old house is not given to you by the Reconstruction Bureau. It is from Bra  The Redevelopment Agency is only responsible for distributing the funds from the fiscal revenue of the Doak government."

    "The budget was formulated through discussions between the town mayor and the budget committee, and was reviewed and approved by the council. It is not something the town mayor can change if he wants, and it will not be affected by the Redevelopment Bureau." Wang Lei explained carefully with a smile.  The words are indeed convincing.

    "What I want to know is, how much subsidy can you get, 800 US dollars? But the Redevelopment Agency has three full-time employees. Their annual labor and office expenses exceed 200,000, and they can provide subsidies to 300 households. Excuse me,  How many people can receive subsidies now?¡±

    "Oh, not many, I heard there are only about thirty" Rachel and the others looked at each other, and were frightened by the figures provided by Wang Lei. In order to issue a subsidy of eight hundred US dollars, it would cost twenty  Wan, this contrast is too strong.

    Of course, they didn¡¯t think about whether the Redevelopment Authority¡¯s job was only to issue housing repair subsidies. Anyway, that was the only thing they dealt with.

    Wang Lei smiled and immediately raised his voice and said to everyone: "Everyone has heard that the subsidy of about 30,000 US dollars from more than 30 companies is nothing compared to the labor cost of more than 200,000 US dollars."

    "I must reiterate that I have no plans to eliminate housing repair subsidies or any other public services."

    "I would also like to tell you that the ultimate goal of streamlining agencies and eliminating redundant staff is to improve the quality and efficiency of serving everyone. Many people have told me that our government services are inefficient, slow to respond, and have poor attitudes"

    "Rachel, do you have similar feelings?" Wang Lei pointed at the black woman and asked.

    "Yes, every time I receive the subsidy, I have to go to the town hall several times and fill out a lot of forms. It's really terrible." Rachel seemed to have found a resonance and immediately said loudly, and there were people beside her echoing: "Yes.  Yes, it¡¯s really bad.¡±

    Simone was standing next to Wang Lei. Seeing that the situation seemed to be a little different from what she imagined, she quickly gave her people a wink and spoke politely.He first stood up and denounced Wang Lei: "Rex, no matter what, your recklessness has led to protests and strikes by government employees, making it impossible for us to continue to provide services to residents. You have to be responsible for all consequences."

    "Yes, no one is disposing of the garbage in front of our house."

    ¡°The streets are dirty and no one is cleaning them.¡±

    "How did you become the mayor?"

    ¡°You already know how to be a mayor, you are just an impulsive little brat.¡±

    "Remove, we want to remove you as an unqualified mayor."

    "Yes, remove him."

    Several women jumped out, denounced Wang Lei and shouted that they wanted to remove him.

    Wang Lei glanced at Simone with disdain, suddenly turned around, and shouted at the women: "Shut up."

    After yelling, he imitated Udunis and made a few moves, shook his neck and shoulders, and clenched his fists loudly: "Please be quiet. The police are on strike today and no one is maintaining order. Everyone."  Be more conscious."

    The women were immediately frightened. They still remembered the way Udonis was beaten into a pig's head just now. They didn't want to make the same mistake again, so they timidly retreated back into the crowd.

    "Rex, are you threatening us? As a mayor, you actually threaten the residents of the town?" Simone was also a little scared, and subconsciously took a step back before shouting in horror.

    "I never threaten anyone," Wang Lei smiled at Simone, who took two steps back. The person in front of her dared to fight even the street fighter Udunis, but she didn't have Udunis.  So after beating.

    "I'm just reminding everyone to pay attention to order." Wang Lei glanced at the women again, and they immediately shrank back into the crowd for fear of being spotted by him.

    Wang Lei smiled, democracy is a good thing, but sometimes violence and hegemony are more effective.  The reporters were also very excited. It was really a good show. Some even gave a thumbs up secretly. This young man seemed not to be simple.

    "Rachel, why are you here to demonstrate and remove me?" Wang Lei said with a smile to Rachel who reappeared at the front of the crowd.

    Rachel looked back at the women who had just appeared and were frightened back. She did not feel that Wang Lei was scary. Although he had just beaten someone, he did not look very vicious.  He's also a street gang gangster with nothing to sympathize with.

    "Oh, maybe I misunderstood, because some people said you want to cut government services and stop our subsidies."

    Wang Lei seemed to understand and nodded: "I understand, you have heard some rumors, some rumors with ulterior motives. You have been taken advantage of. Some people don't like me laying off redundant staff, so they use you to put pressure on me."

    Rachel looked at the others, and their expressions were a little ugly. They also felt that they seemed to be too impulsive and might really be taken advantage of.

    "You're talking nonsense"

    Seeing that something was wrong, Simone was about to say something. Wang Lei turned around and shouted coldly: "Shut up. As a member of Parliament, you should represent the interests of your constituents, not those employees."

    Simone¡¯s face turned even darker. She was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she couldn¡¯t make a sound. She was suppressed by Wang Lei¡¯s momentum.

    "I know there are people who are opposed to my plan, but it won't be all employees. Just like you, they have been taken advantage of."

    "Our government, government employee unions, and even public opinion are controlled by a small group of conspirators who are trying to change the situation. I must tell them that their conspiracy will not succeed."  Wang Lei said loudly to the crowd, then turned to look at Simone, as if to say that this was a conspirator, which made the latter shrink back again in fright.

    Wang Lei ignored her and turned around and continued: "Dear residents of Braddock, I ask you to join me in crushing these conspiracies and this small group of conspirators."

    "I reiterate: Institutional reform is to provide better services. What we want to reduce is people, not services. We want to declare war on the slowness, indifference and waste of government agencies. This is a war, and you are my only  rely on."

    "By reducing the number of staff by half, we can save 40% of the annual budget. This money can be used to increase welfare subsidies, such as free lunches, housing repair subsidies, etc., and can also be used to build Braddock"

    ¡°We can do a lot of things, but the only thing we can¡¯t do is be wasted by the government.¡±
