933. Those things of the mayor
After watching TV, Qin Shiou lies on the sofa and starts to browse web pages on his mobile phone. After that, he found that there are more news about the Hua Fox number on the Internet. He claims that more than tens of thousands of people have seen the ship by his friends. Qin Shiou is also drunk. Is it really good for everyone to lie with their eyes open?
The ship belongs to Greenland. The ship once carried two newlyweds who wanted to go to New York for their honeymoon. Now the descendants of one of the newlyweds showed up and claimed to form an expedition team to investigate the situation of the Flower Fox.
From these people, the Flower Fox extended more legends. The descendants of the newlywed couple were the women's blood relatives. He vowed that his grandmother's family was descended from a wizard and believed that his grandmother did not die in the North Atlantic.
Qin Shiou scratched his head. He originally planned to use the Huahuxun account to create some thrilling topics, but now it seems that his mother is going to make the rhythm of a fantasy blockbuster.
As the Flower Fox appeared in people's sight again, the topic of the ghost ship triggered a frenzy of public opinion. Even in winter, many people still drove to the Newfoundland waters of the North Atlantic to visit.
Saying goodbye to the island's acting mayor Hani is also a talented person. He plans to take the opportunity to create a ship to decorate it and create a ghost ship atmosphere to create a ghost ship tourism business.
When the last time the four towns was held, Hamre suggested that Qin Shiou participate in the election for the mayor of the town, but after returning, he was quite busy and it was still far from the election time, so Qin Shiou had not prepared.
The government minds of Canada from the municipal level downward are the same as those of the United States, elected by voters in the jurisdiction, about the summer of the second year after the mayoral election.
In this way, Qin Shiou was injured and could not move. He settled down to understand Canada's grassroots management system and the situation of small-scale elections.
According to the Canadian Constitution, town-level elections do not need to be reported to the central government in Ottawa, but only responsible for governments at the municipal and provincial levels.
There are four to six candidates in each election. You can participate in the election without deprivation of political rights. If you are immigrants, you must live in Canada for at least one year and have contributed to the development of regional economy, politics and public utilities.
When voting for the final vote, the candidate must obtain the most votes among all the candidates and the vote rate must be more than two-fifths in order to become the final mayor.
From this point of view, Qin Shiou is qualified, and Hamley is right. As long as he runs for the election, he will basically not run away. The position of mayor is his.
Qin Shiou asked Mayor Auerbach what he wanted to do. The old lawyer shrugged and said, "Mayor? That's a civil servant. You don't have to do anything, you can brag."
This is Canadians' consistent attitude towards civil servants, similar to Americans. When Nixon announced his participation in the presidential election, some people questioned how a small vendor could be competent for the position of president. At that time, Nixon said easily that he could become a successful businessman, and it would be even more problematic to be a successful president.
Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Don't do this, Dad, be serious. I really want to understand the rights and obligations of the mayor."
Auerbach reacted and asked, "Are you interested in this? Hamre has found you and hope you will be the mayor?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. What do you think?"
Auerbach shrugged and considered the words: "Actually, the mayor's work is not complicated. Saying goodbye to the town is not a big town, the economy is on track, and the public security is good, so you don't need to make any major choices. However, I'm not sure you're suitable for this."
He sat opposite Qin Shiou and began to slowly tell the operation of Canadian towns and the nature of the work of the mayor.
In Canada, local governments operate public finance, use public power, spend taxpayers' money, and take care of public interests. Therefore, the organization and personnel arrangements of local governments are relatively simple. The townspeople in the town think whoever can lead them to develop better will be the mayor.
Qin Shiou will definitely succeed if he runs for the election, not because he has a good relationship with Hamre, but because he has been bid farewell to the towns and townspeople who have high recognition.
As the most basic member of the local government, the town government also manages public property, and has more contact with the townspeople, and must be recognized by the townspeople.
"It's not easy to be the mayor of the town. Qin, how do you think you are doing now? It must be very good, right? Every time you go to the town, everyone greets you kindly and likes to play with you, right?" Auerbach asked.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, I think I have a good reputation."
"The standards are different. Everyone recognizes you because you are just an ordinary immigrant. You took over a bankrupt fishing ground and then invested heavily to provide twenty jobs to the town. You also helped everyone bring tourism resources as a new immigrant. Everyone thanks you very much, but there is a prerequisite for all this!"
"The premise is that you are just an ordinary immigrant, a good-tempered and generous young man."
"If you are the mayor, that's not the case. Do you know how satisfied Hamre was when he left the town in the end when he was doing a poll?"
"48%, not more than half! If the tourism industry was not developed a year ago, it would be great if his satisfaction level could reach 20%!" Auerbach said heavily.
Qin Shiou couldn't believe it, he didn't understand this.
"The mayor is a very complicated position. From the outside, he looks like a local emperor. In fact, he is a nanny, but he is not taking care of one or two children, but taking care of the entire town!"
"I told you that goodbye to the town is a small town. It has the Housing Administration, the Redevelopment Committee, the Education Committee and the Finance Committee. But in order to save money, there are these positions, but no one comes to do it. Who will do the related work?"
Facing Auerbach's gaze, Qin Shiou's back sweat broke out: "Don't tell me, dad, he can do all these tasks!"
"It seems that the mayor has done at least half of it. In the past, such as the directors of the Housing, Education and Redevelopment Committee, were all done by Hamre, but now Hani is doing it." Auerbach cruelly told him a fact.
"If you think these committees are all, that's really a joke, there are 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 Council, and the Children's Service Advisory Committee..." Auerbach breathed out the names of these institutions, and Qin Shiou's eyes were straightened.
"These are all directly affiliated departments under your jurisdiction. You must be responsible for managing the personnel of these departments, coordinate and plan, and be directly responsible to them!" Auerbach said.
Chapter completed!
