After coming out of Mayor Liu's office, I found that Director Lu and others were waiting outside my office. Four people were smoking there, and the corridor was filled with smoke. My secretary Xiao Xu was accompanying them.
I smiled and said to them: "Oh! I thought there was a fire. You big smokers!"
They all laughed. Director Lu said: "Xiao Xu said you were talking to Mayor Liu about something, so we are waiting for you here. We have nothing to do, so we have to smoke and chat here."
I smiled and said: "Smoke it. Now after you finish smoking it, go to my office and smoke less. Otherwise, it will be a joke if the fire brigade drives the car to the city hall."
They all laugh.
I criticized Xiao Xu, "Why don't you open the door and let them go in first? Director Lu is your old leader, why don't you have any eyesight?"
Director Lu said hurriedly: "I didn't let him open the door. We big smokers will make your office full of smoke when we get in."
I nodded and smiled at the same time: "It's good that you know."
Xiao Xu had already opened the office, and they followed me in. Xiao Xu was busy making tea for them.
Everyone sat down on the sofa, and I said to them: "I called you here today to study a very important matter. I came to Shangjiang City a few years ago, and I felt very good here at that time. I thought this
The city is very lively. When I came here that time, I stayed here for one night. At that time, I accompanied a deputy minister of the Ministry of Education. I got up early the next day, so I was alone.
I walked around the street for a while, and I felt that the traffic in this place was very chaotic. Pedestrians, rickshaws and small businesses were all on the road. I didn’t expect that a few years later, the situation here is still the same. The same is true for the traffic in a city.
This is one of the city’s business cards, so we must immediately make great efforts to improve it. I don’t need you to come up with any plan, because there is no need for a plan, and improvement is the most direct measure. First, punish pedestrians for crossing the street
On the road, the habit of walking on the road must be educated, and if it does not work, fines will be imposed. Secondly, a special line for rickshaws must be drawn on the road, and motor vehicles and rickshaws must drive in separate lanes. Thirdly, the urban management must take good care of those small
Vendors should not be allowed to set up stalls on the road. By the way, the urban management should pay attention to one issue, civilized enforcement, focusing on persuasion and education, supplemented by fines and other punitive measures. Fourth, for those who pick up and drop off customers at any time in the middle of the road
The fines for taxis and vans must be increased. Fifth, there are too few traffic lights in the city. Traffic lights must be installed immediately at major traffic intersections and traffic police should be dispatched to direct traffic. I find it a bit strange that you do this for such a simple thing.
How could you turn a blind eye for so many years?”
Director Lu nodded and said: "Actually, everyone has already felt that this kind of problem needs to be rectified, but Shangjiang City has been like this for decades, so everyone regards this phenomenon as a habit, and at the same time, they also feel that such a lively and bustling
The scene is very good. Mayor Feng, the issues you mentioned are not difficult for us to implement, but the issue of traffic lights requires government investment. We have no money."
The captain of the traffic police brigade said: "Our Shangjiang City is already very small, and we are all familiar with each other. Sometimes we have to consider human factors when managing, so law enforcement is also somewhat difficult."
The urban management director said: "Those small vendors support their families by running small businesses, and the citizens find it very convenient. So we have not paid attention to this matter."
I immediately laughed, "You mean, these things don't need to be taken care of? Just let it continue like this? Let our city of Shangjiang continue to be dirty and messy like this?"
Director Lu said quickly: "That's not what I meant. I completely agree with Mayor Feng's opinion. The traffic and city appearance of Shangjiang City must be improved. Every time we welcome provincial leaders, we will be criticized. In the past, we have
I have managed it, but it’s all staged, so the effect is not very good.”
I said: "Remediation must be carried out immediately. I have just reported this matter to Mayor Liu, and I will report it to Secretary Chen next. In fact, Secretary Chen has long been dissatisfied with the situation in our Shangjiang City.
.This matter involves the Urban Management Bureau, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, um, and the Environmental Protection Bureau...Xiao Xu, please call immediately and ask the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau to come to the meeting. How did I forget this matter? It must be
Take control and make improvements immediately. I just want to see the effect. If you feel that you can't do this, you can replace your positions with people who can do this. To be honest, I don't like doing this to myself.
I spoke to my subordinates, but the problem is already here, and shirk and delay are not solutions to the problem."
The captain of the traffic police brigade said hurriedly: "We will take care of it, and we will take care of it right away."
The director of the Urban Management Bureau also said: "We will take care of this matter immediately."
I sighed and said: "You guys, why do you have to let me say such ugly things before expressing my attitude? I really don't want to do this. The matter is not big. The key to the problem is that you must have such an awareness. A city like this
Everyone turned a blind eye to the mess, and I, the executive deputy mayor, had to convene a special meeting to solve it. Is this your job? Why can't you be more proactive? In the future, I will suggest to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee that we should
The initiative of the department heads in their work is listed as one of the items to be inspected in the future. Now you can tell us individually, how are you going to manage it? How are you going to rectify it? Think about it carefully, I'm going to listen right away."
Director Lu said: "Let me make a statement first. Our Municipal Public Security Bureau will resolutely implement Mayor Feng's decision. We will solve the traffic light problem immediately, but the cost issue has to be solved by Mayor Feng. The traffic police brigade will send traffic police immediately.
On duty on major road sections in the city, trained traffic police should be dispatched to direct traffic at intersections with traffic lights. Pedestrians who jaywalk will be criticized or even fined, and operating vehicles that pick up and drop off passengers at will will be strictly enforced against regulations. At the same time,
We need to educate and publicize the city's traffic police so that they must enforce the law strictly and not be merciful."
I smiled and said: "The leaders from our municipal government office are still good. Isn't this great? But Director Lu, the municipal government will not consider a cent of the cost of installing traffic lights. First, the municipal finance is very
Nervous, secondly, I know you have money. Especially the traffic police brigade, I am very aware of the things you do. You have set speed limits on some roads in the suburbs, but you have placed speed limit signs in secret places.
, and then impose fines on passing foreign cars. You have earned a lot of income over the years, right? There are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of fines a year, right? Forget what happened in the past, it is not okay to do this again in the future. You do this
It will cause great damage to the image of our Shangjiang City. Do you know what outsiders think of our Shangjiang City traffic police? They say we are bandits in uniform! Isn’t this blatant robbery? Law enforcement is not the purpose.
It is a means! It is necessary to punish overloaded vehicles, all kinds of traffic signs must be eye-catching, and these things must be regulated. Originally, I was going to find a special time to talk about this matter in the future, but now that I have talked about it today
, I’ll just talk about it together. Director Lu, my gay brother, it’s not okay to go on like this.
People's Public Security, People's Public Security serves the people. It is your duty to ensure the safety of one party. How can it be used as a tool to make money? Director Lu, shouldn't we all think deeply about such things? And our urban management,
On the one hand, there is no management of street vendors in downtown areas, because most of the people setting up stalls there are urban residents, and they are more or less relatives or acquaintances with our law enforcement officers. But what do you think about setting up stalls in rural areas and in cities?
But those people who enforced the law brutally enforced the law. They confiscated their stalls when they saw them, and sometimes even beat and kicked the vendors.
Think about it, who of our elders three generations ago did not come from the countryside? Why are you so cruel? That’s why I talked about the issue of civilized law enforcement earlier. Think about it, what should we do next?”
Director Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Feng, it turns out you know everything? That's fine. We'll be responsible for installing the traffic lights on all streets. We will definitely pay attention to the issues you just mentioned in the future."
The director of the Urban Management Bureau looked very frightened, "Mayor Feng, I accept your criticism. This is because we did not pay attention to our working methods before, and we will definitely improve in the future."
I looked at him, "How are you going to improve?"
He quickly said: "Strictly enforce the law, and enforce the law in a civilized manner."
I nodded, "You said it very well. Strict law enforcement and civilized law enforcement are not contradictory. Strict law enforcement is your responsibility, and civilized law enforcement is the way you must follow. The urban management department is very important to the management of a city, and your
Strict law enforcement can bring order to a city, but your rough law enforcement may also cause social instability and intensify social conflicts. So do not take it lightly.
. Today I put this sentence here: If you continue to enforce the law roughly in the process of law enforcement, and this causes strong dissatisfaction among the masses, I will ask the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to punish the person.
There are also problems within the public security team. Director Lu, this time our city-wide anti-gang operation was a complete success, which shows that our public security team is still very capable and has very strong combat effectiveness, but this does not mean that our public security team
No problem. From now on, you must avoid fishing for law enforcement in your work. The image of the public security team is more important than anything else.
Isn’t the fine for you caught gambling and prostitution enough? Isn’t the penalty and fine imposed by the traffic police department for traffic violations less? Why do you have to do such a thing? Isn’t this self-destructive? You must pay attention to it in the future.
Notice!"
While we were talking, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau came. I immediately said to him: "You are here just in time. We are studying how to rectify the problem of urban traffic and vendors setting up stalls. Your Environmental Protection Bureau will consult with the urban management and public security departments. First,
It is necessary to reschedule the city cleaning time, neither too early nor too late. Second, you must increase efforts to renovate the small river that runs through the city, as well as the treatment of sewage discharged by residents.
I walked through every alley in this city, and I found that sewage flows across many places, especially during this season, and some places simply stink. Why doesn't your Environmental Protection Bureau care about such a thing? Also,
It’s the water source management issue in the mining area, and more importantly, the domestic water supply in our city... Our domestic water comes from the reservoir on the mountain, right? But someone is raising cage fish in that reservoir! Who is this?
What do you agree with? Is it true that the water you drink at home and at work is bottled water? Even if you have such conditions, what about the common people? You can tolerate them drinking contaminated water?" (To be continued)
