Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 439: suggestion

So for the bill they proposed, the governor passed it without hesitation. The most intuitive information disclosed to the public every year is not how much tax the state government has this year.

People are more concerned about how much the state government has dealt with this year, so the police department's case detection rate is also an important factor in the public's assessment of whether the state government's work is qualified.

After waiting for all departments to report, Les moved his body, which was a little stiff from holding one position for a long time.

Next is the time for the lawmakers to make proposals. Each lawmaker put forward his own slogan during the election campaign, which also represents the demands of his own voters. According to the rules of the US government, the state government still has to give it a chance to deal with it.

This is also considered an unspoken rule of the political arena.

The parliamentarians are divided into two parties with distinct trajectories that are not related to each other. Les's left is the elephant party, and the right is the donkey party. His position is exactly the middle boundary between the two parties.

The proposal also started from the Elephant Party. The first congressman stood up, bowed to the governor on the stage, and then nodded to the staff of the various departments behind him.

After all, the proposal is proposed by oneself, and the real thing to do is to rely on the cooperation of these departments to complete.

The member of the Elephant Party is a white-bearded Caucasian man who looks to be in his fifties. He wears a decent suit and looks very gentlemanly. For a politician, the external decoration is to show him. The appearance of voters, so always ensuring that you dress is the most basic professional quality of politicians.

He cleared his throat, picked up his plan, and made a proposal.

"The roads from Denver to various urban areas have been in disrepair for a long time, and many areas can no longer bear the driving of vehicles, so I hope the state government will consider carefully and allocate funds to rebuild the roads."

After speaking, the congressman took the photo of the destroyed road taken by his subordinate, and the helper who was waiting immediately took it with both hands, and then presented it in front of the governor.

The governor picked up the photo, looked at it, and then passed it on to other senior officials on both sides. Several people looked at each other, and then exchanged their opinions.

"Okay, let's vote on this proposal now."

After finishing speaking, the Proposal Member of the elephant party raised his hand first, indicating his approval, and then all the members of the elephant party in his column raised their hands.

Less turned his head to observe. Most of the members of the Donkey Party were expressionless and showed little action. After all, the donkey-elephant dispute has been going on for many years. These people may not reject the opponent's proposal, but they will not either. Agree.

The governor is also aware of this situation. The state government stipulates that as long as the number of negative votes does not exceed the number of positive votes, the proposal is valid. If the two parties are tied, the issue will be postponed and the discussion will be redone.

After simply counting the number of hands raised by the legislators, the governor announced the passage of the proposal. After the meeting, a special department will make a plan, submit it to the legislators and the governor for approval, and finally start the construction.

Generally, highway facilities in the United States are not without profits. Many companies will run for this construction opportunity, and then the built highway will also be charged, which can ensure the interests of the businessmen who contract the road section.

Of course, this opportunity is not for every business family. After all, there are too many people running for election. Although this road construction project has a long revenue period, it may take ten or twenty years to pay back the capital, but the measures to ensure that the funds do not depreciate are still Very popular with investors.

Like the elephant party who proposed the proposal just now, it is the representative of the interests of a giant businessman. In the end, the result of the election project may be won by the group behind him. This is a matter of tacit understanding.

This is the essence of the American capitalist state.

The government is more for the benefit of businessmen and capital.

The motions are put forward one by one. If it is a motion about people's livelihood, the Donkey Party will raise their hands in approval regardless of previous suspicions. However, if the proposal is related to the interests of the party, the Donkey Party members will be silent and all abstain from voting.

This is already a basic way for the two factions to get along, a balance that has been achieved in many struggles.

Less was not idle either, and kept recording everyone's proposals in his notebook. If there were any issues he thought were good, he would raise his hand to agree, and express his opinions from a different perspective from the two factions.

Every time the proposal was passed, the corresponding congressman would give Less a nod with a smile. Les felt that he might be able to gain friendship from many people after such a circle.

Immediately following Les's proposal, he adjusted his tie, rubbed his palms on the legs of his trousers under the table, and wiped off the palms of his sweat-stained palms.

"The next one, oh? Senator Leith, don't be nervous and make your proposal."

Wearing reading glasses, the governor looked up at the progress, just in time to see the nervous expression of Les himself, and then used a joking tone to try to make him relax.

Now all the targets of the whole venue were gathered on Les's body. He felt that his back was sweating because of the injection of his eyes. He took a deep breath and learned from everyone just now, first facing the rostrum. He bowed, then turned his head and nodded to everyone behind him, his eyes skipped the heads of several departments that participated in the celebration banquet yesterday, and turned around to start his own proposal~www.readwn.com~Denver's taxation has always been In the United States, it ranks in the lower reaches of many cities, and the personal tax customization for the people is a bit too high, which greatly increases the hardship of people's lives, so I suggest increasing the tax of real estate companies: Colorado has a lot of unfinished ends. The phenomenon of buildings, which has caused a great waste of resources, so it is recommended to improve the approval standards for commercial land. "

With the progress of Les's proposal, there was an uproar in various departments under the stage, and everyone was talking about it. This kind of proposal has already been counted as an attack on businessmen and capital, and we have really never seen such a bold congressman.

You must know that the government can only run with the support of businessmen, and the top chaebols of the country can control whether the country starts a war. Almost all the members of the parliament present are supported by their families. This kind of foundation-digging proposal undoubtedly moved everyone. cake.

And the heads of the several departments who greeted Les just now had their faces ashen. They could not have imagined that Les was so bold to propose such a proposal. They knew Les was such a person, and they would not know how to do it. Almost like Lesotho.

The congressmen on both sides also stared at Less with a foolish expression, while the governor on the stage did not have any fluctuations in his expression. After all, he has been in politics for so many years, and at least he can do it without showing his emotions.
