Let Lotte girls carry themselves Ling Tao slams Zheng Wencan for stadium renovation | Baseball Stadium | The Epoch Times

[The Epoch Times, April 25, 2023](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Xu Naiyi, Taiwan Taoyuan) In response to the Vice President of the Executive Yuan and former Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan’s interview on the 25th, explaining the drainage problem of the Taoyuan stadium, the deputy executive director of the Kuomintang think tank , Taoyuan City Councilor Ling Tao said that the DPP has been in power in Taoyuan for 8 years, and should not push all the problems of the Taoyuan baseball stadium to the previous government. Compared with the KMT-ruled Taichung City Government, it only took 45 million yuan and two months to build the Intercontinental Baseball Stadium into a major league-level stadium. Zheng Wencan spent hundreds of millions of yuan to renovate the stadium. How did he spend the budget?

Ling Tao said that Taoyuan had not yet been upgraded, and the budget was only 40 billion. The county government’s financial budget was quite tight. However, it happened that in 2008, in order to revitalize the economy, the Executive Yuan compiled a 58.3 billion “strengthening local construction and expanding domestic demand plan” for the local government. The then ruling Kuomintang county magistrate Zhu Lilun tried hard to win the budget from the central government under the limited budget and build a world-class It is not easy to go from nothing to nothing for Taoyuan Baseball Stadium.

Ling Tao further stated that as for the location of the stadium, if an international-level competition venue is to be built, there must be a standard warm-up practice field next to it (that is, today’s Tsingpu Sports Park Baseball Stadium), but it is limited by the surrounding land and urban planning However, with the construction of outfield stands and electronic billboards, this defect has become within a controllable range. In addition, in Taoyuan Lotte Most of the games held in the stadium are almost after dusk. The current impact of the “Xi Sun problem” is limited. Why hasn’t Zheng Wencan improved the remaining drainage problems in eight years? Why is the DPP still trying to use old materials to lead the way?

Ling Tao pointed out that the budget of the municipal government during Zheng Wencan’s time was 140 billion, which was 3.5 times that of Zhu Lilun’s time. It has more resources but still only blames and abuses! During his term of office, Mayor Zheng has compiled a large amount of budget to improve the drainage and turf problems of Taoyuan Stadium, including a special budget of 194 million yuan in 2017, plus a repair budget of 15 million yuan per year. It took 8 years and hundreds of millions of repair costs, but did not show On the actual improvement of Taoyuan Stadium. On the contrary, Mayor Zheng Wencan only emphasized that “the signboard for Lotte to win the championship must be redone”. This kind of policy can be described as putting the cart before the horse!

Ling Tao further pointed out that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars during his term of office, but even the most basic repairs and maintenance of the stadium, such as drainage, lamps, and turf, were not done well. From the Bade Sports Center badminton court, the Taoyuan National Sports Center swimming pool, to the drainage problem of the Taoyuan Stadium, every item of the sports facilities under Zheng Wencan’s tenure was flawed, and even made it to the international page. Could it be that Mayor Zheng Wencan only knows how to abuse his power to make people Are the 9 Lotte girls shouldering themselves, but they are unwilling to shoulder the responsibility for their poor governance? ◇
