933. The mayor of the town about those things

After watching TV, Qin Shiou lay on the sofa and began to swipe the web page on his mobile phone, only to find out that there was more news about the Flower Fox on the Internet, claiming that there were more than tens of thousands of people around him who had seen the ship, and Qin Shiou was also drunk, is it really okay for everyone to talk nonsense with their eyes open like this?

The ship belonged to Greenland, and it was carrying two newlyweds who wanted to go to New York for their honeymoon, and now the descendants of one of the newlyweds have come forward and claimed to form an expedition to find out what is going on on the Flower Fox.

From these people, the Flower Fox derives more legends, the newlyweds, who are the continued blood relatives of the woman, who swear that his maternal grandmother is descended from wizards and that his maternal grandmother did not die in the North Atlantic.

Qin Shiou scratched his head, he originally planned to use the Flower Fox to create some thriller topics, but now it seems that his mother's gang is going to make the rhythm of a fantasy blockbuster.

With the reappearance of the Flower Fox in people's field of vision, the topic of ghost ships has sparked a frenzy of public opinion, and even in winter, many people still sail to the waters of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic.

Farewell Island, the acting mayor of the town, Hani, is also a talent, and he plans to take the opportunity to decorate a ship, create a ghost ship atmosphere, and start a ghost ship tourism business.

The last time the Four Towns charity event was held, Hamletti yƬ Qin Shiou participated in the election for mayor of the town, but after coming back, because things were very busy and the election time was still far away, Qin Shiou had not prepared.

In Canada, the head of government from the municipal level down is the same as in the United States, elected by the voters of the jurisdiction, about the summer of the second year after the mayoral election.

In this way, Qin Shiou injured his ligaments and couldn't walk. He settled down to understand Canada's grassroots management system and the situation of small-scale elections.

According to the Constitution of Canada. Elections at the town level do not need to be reported to the central government in Ottawa, but are accountable to the municipal and provincial governments.

There are four to six candidates for each election. As long as you are not deprived of your political rights, you can participate in the election, and if you are an immigrant, you must have lived in Canada for at least one year and have contributed to the development of the regional economy, politics and public utilities.

At the end of the vote, a candidate must receive the most votes of all the candidates and more than two-fifths of the votes in order to become the final mayor.

Looking at Qin Shiou in this way, he is qualified, and Hamlet is right, as long as he runs, he will basically not run. The mayor's position is his.

Qin Shiou asked the mayor of Auerbach what he was going to do, and the old lawyer shrugged his shoulders and said, "The mayor?" That's a civil servant, you don't have to do anything, you just have to brag. ā€

This is the consistent attitude of Canadians towards civil servants, similar to Americans, when Nixon announced his candidacy for the presidency, some people questioned how he could be a small businessman to be qualified for the position of president, Nixon said lightly at the time. He can become a successful businessman, let alone a successful president.

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Don't be like this, dad, be serious." I'd love to know about the mayor's rights and duties. ā€

Auerbach reacted and asked, "Are you interested in this?" Hamlet approached you and wanted you to be mayor? ā€

Qin Shiou shrugged. "Yes, you guessed it. What do you think? ā€

Auerbach shrugged, considered the wording, and said, "Actually, the mayor's job is not complicated. Farewell Town is not a big town, the economy is on the right track, and the law and order are good, so you don't need to make any big choices. I'm not sure you're right for this, though. ā€

He sat down opposite Qin Shiou and began to slowly talk about the operation of the Canadian town and the nature of the mayor's work.

In Canada, local governments operate public finances, use public power, spend taxpayers' money, and take care of public interests, so the organization and personnel arrangements of local governments are relatively simple, and the townspeople in small towns think that whoever can lead them to develop better will be the mayor.

If Qin Shiou runs for election, he will definitely succeed, not because he has a good relationship with Hamlay, but because he is highly recognized by the townspeople of Farewell Town.

As the most basic member of the local government, the town government also manages public property, and has more contact with the townspeople, and it must be recognized by the townspeople.

"It's not easy to be the mayor of the town, Qin, how do you feel about what you're doing now? It must be pretty good, right? Every time you go to town, everyone greets you kindly and likes to play with you, doesn't they? Auerbach asked.

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, I think my popularity is good." ā€

"The standards are different, and everyone recognizes you because you're just an ordinary immigrant, you took over a bankrupt fishing farm, and then invested heavily in the town to provide twenty jobs. As a newcomer, you also helped you bring tourism resources, and everyone is very grateful to you, but this qiē has a premise! ā€

"The premise is that you are just an ordinary immigrant, a good-natured and generous young man."

"If you're the mayor of the town, that's not the case, do you know how satisfied Hamre was when he last left town?"

"48%, not more than half! And if the tourism industry hadn't been developed a year ago, it would have been remarkable to have a 20% satisfaction rate! Auerbach said heavily.

Qin Shiou couldn't believe it, he didn't understand this.

"The mayor of the town is a very complicated position, and from the outside, it looks like the power of all people is one, like the emperor of the soil. In fact, it's a babysitter, but instead of taking care of one or two kids, it's taking care of the whole town! ā€

"I told you, Farewell Town is a small town, it has a Housing Authority, a Redevelopment Committee, an Education Committee and a Finance Committee, but in order to save money, there are these positions, but no one does them, so who will do the related work?"

Facing Auerbach's gaze, cold sweat broke out on Qin Shiou's back: "Don't tell me, Dad, these jobs are all done by the mayor of the town!" ā€

"Now it seems that the mayor of the town has done at least half of it, for example, Hamre was the director of the Housing, Education and Redevelopment Board, but now it is Hani who is doing it." Auerbach brutally accused him of a fact.

"If you think these committees are all there is, that's a joke, and there are also the Human Resources Committee, the Housing Cooperation Department, the Government Business Relations Committee, the Voter Registration Department, the Land Planning Approval Council, the Design Review Board, the Children's Services Advisory Committee, ......" Auerbach spat out the names of these institutions, and Qin Shiou's eyes straightened.

"These are all directly subordinate departments under your jurisdiction, you must be responsible for managing the personnel of these departments, you must make overall plans, and you must be directly responsible for them!" Auerbach said.

"And that's not all, it's just the beginning, the simplest thing......" (To be continued......
