On Wednesday, February 22, the third day since Li Xiuyuan arrived in the Central Town, the first Central Town Party Committee meeting after the New Year was held.
Li Xiuyuan was not late. He arrived ten minutes early for the 8:30 meeting. He originally thought he would be the first one, but he didn't expect that someone had arrived earlier than him.
When Li Xiuyuan arrived, Lu Zhenhai and Qi Weihua were already there.
"Secretary Lu, Minister Qi." Li Xiuyuan greeted them and sat down in his seat. He originally thought that he was ranked last, but it turned out that his seat was in front of Qi Weihua.
But if you think about it carefully, Qi Weihua is in charge of the armed forces and united front work, although he also holds a position as a political and legal committee member.
However, the political and legal work in the township only involves one police station, and the police station has a strong sense of independence. One reason is the particularity of public security work, and the other is that the central town is geographically close to the county. The finances of this police station are directly allocated by the Public Security Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau has the final say on personnel issues.
There isn't much this township can do.
"Mayor Li." Lu Zhenhai greeted, and Qi Weihua nodded with a smile.
After the three people sat down, the discipline committee member Ma Tao arrived next. The organization committee member Kang Yong and the town mayor Hou Peng arrived one after the other, almost at 8:30. The last to arrive was Zhang Xingguo.
After all the members of the township party committee sat down, they immediately focused their attention on Li Xiuyuan. After all, Li Xiuyuan was the only newcomer among those present.
Li Xiuyuan had a smile on his face. It was his first time attending a town party committee meeting, but he had attended many government-organized meetings.
They are all team meetings of regular-level units, no difference.
After Zhang Xingguo arrived, the town party committee meeting began. Zhang Xingguo, as the secretary, presided over the meeting and first summarized some township work before and after the New Year.
Li Xiuyuan didn't care much about his daily work.
However, Zhang Xingguo mentioned one point that attracted everyone's attention, that is, this year's tax issue. Last year, 2005, was a key year for tax reform, and the agricultural tax was completely abolished.
The impact is far-reaching. First of all, for each township, in the past, many townships, especially those mainly based on agriculture, were mainly based on agricultural taxes.
After the abolition of agricultural tax this year, the fiscal gap will become much larger.
Not to mention some towns that rely purely on agriculture, even in towns with enterprises like central towns, there will be a gap. Of course, there will be transfer payments from higher authorities, but part of the transfer payments will be intercepted when they reach the county, and it is uncertain how much will actually be received.
Money. A family can do nothing without money. The same goes for a township. Without money, nothing can be done.
Zhang Xingguo is the secretary and raises issues, and the rest is handed over to the town mayor Hou Peng. If Hou Peng wants to be the town mayor, he must first get money. If he can't get the money, he has to rely on Zhang Xingguo. Then don't blame Zhang Xingguo for interfering in the town government's finances.
Rights and responsibilities have always been equal. The more rights you have, the more responsibilities you have. In previous years, Hou Peng was quite comfortable being the mayor. After all, the financial situation of the central town was good, and he was comfortable being the mayor.
