Before this meeting, I made a special trip to report to Secretary Rong on my work, and I also took the opportunity to remind her of some things.
At that time, I mainly reported to her the plan on the key tasks of the government this year that we were preparing to go to the government executive meeting recently, and also told her our ideas for making this plan. After listening to it, she basically agreed with our plan.
They don’t have many opinions on the measures we will urge to complete next.
Then I reported to her the risks of urban drinking water. She frowned immediately after hearing this, and then asked me: "How long has this problem existed?"
I replied: "It must have been a long time ago, or in other words, this problem already existed when the reservoir was just repaired, but now the problems are getting more and more serious, and the possible hidden dangers are getting bigger and bigger.
Before this, I had held a special meeting to ask the environmental protection department to solve it as soon as possible. However, due to insufficient attention from below and funding issues, this problem has not been solved for a long time.
Secretary Rong, I am also responsible for this matter. I discovered the problem at that time. Although I made arrangements for this work, I did not supervise its implementation. But now this matter has reached a point where it needs to be resolved immediately without delay.
To be honest, after the mass poisoning of students occurred this time, I was very nervous. And when I heard you told me about the incident, my first reaction was that there was a problem with the water source of the reservoir...
.Fortunately not.
But Secretary Rong, we can’t always take chances on issues like this, right? So, I plan to take this issue up for special study at this government executive meeting.”
She nodded, "It must be like this. The problem is the implementation of funds. How do you consider this issue?"
I said: "Actually, it doesn't cost much. The main problem is that our current finances are too difficult. I think, on the one hand, we need to ask for some special funds from the province, and on the other hand, we ask the environmental protection department to raise it on its own, and the rest will be
Let's allocate funds from the government's finances to solve the problem. This matter cannot be delayed, so it needs to be rectified immediately, and the funding issue must be put in place immediately."
She shook her head and said: "The method you mentioned is good, but raising yourself in that way will waste a lot of time. What if something happens during this period? As you just said, hidden dangers already exist.
No one can guarantee when problems will arise."
This is also the issue that worries me the most right now. Then I said to her: "Secretary Rong, maybe we can temporarily transfer a sum of funds from the company in the industrial park. But this matter requires your consent, because the industrial park is
The municipal party committee is directly under jurisdiction."
She looked at me and said, "By the way, you seem to be still the director of the Industrial Park Management Committee now, right?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "Yes. I was waiting for you to remove me from that position. Now I really can't take care of things there, and conventionally speaking, I am not suitable to hold that position concurrently anymore.
"
She nodded and said: "That's true. So Mayor Feng, who do you think is suitable to take over your position? Can you recommend someone to me?"
I said: "According to convention, the secretary and director of the industrial park should be concurrently held by members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Currently, Mayor Wu is still the secretary there, but he has now been transferred to the municipal government, and the organizational arrangement is to be the executive deputy mayor.
position, so it is more suitable for him to serve as the director of the industrial park. As for the candidate of the secretary, you decide on this matter."
She nodded and said: "I'll think about it again. The new deputy secretary is not very familiar with local work. I think other standing committee members are more suitable. Mayor Feng, what do you think?"
I smiled and said: "Secretary Rong, you know the situation of the Standing Committee members better, so you make decisions."
She pointed at me with a smile, "You... Actually, Mayor Feng, you have wanted to remind me about this matter for a long time, right? You should have reminded me about things like this earlier, I
I am not very familiar with local work, so I may not think thoroughly about some issues. In the future, if you find any omissions or deviations in my thinking about issues, I hope you can remind me at any time. Please."
I didn’t know whether her words were sincere or a deliberate show of tolerance because of inner embarrassment. I then smiled and said: "Secretary Rong, I don’t think so. Some things should be handled earlier and later.
It doesn't matter. For example, it's about the industrial park team. Now I happen to be the director there. If you agree with my opinion just now, I will give you a report directly and then I will sign and take out the money. How simple.
What's the matter? You think so? What's more, it hasn't affected the work in the industrial park at all so far."
But she shook her head and said: "Mayor Feng, that's what you said, but after all, it's because I didn't think carefully. In fact, I don't want to make major adjustments to the city's cadres, and the organization director has just arrived, and many
He still needs to get familiar with the matter before talking about it. Well, let's not talk about these things in detail today. Your industrial park will give me a report. I will sign it after reading it, and then you will transfer the money to
Environmental Protection Bureau. At the same time, you must also raise funds as soon as possible and return the money to the account of the industrial park. It is better to do less of this matter of demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall in the future."
I seemed to understand what she said: It wasn't that she really didn't want to make large-scale cadre adjustments, but that she thought the time was not yet ripe.
However, this is also easy to understand. Adjusting cadres is something that the new leader must do, and it is also a necessary means to establish authority.
In addition, I don’t agree with what she said about demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall in the future. The current financial situation in Shangjiang City is indeed too difficult. Who would do that if there were no other ways? And maybe it will happen often in the future.
I encounter such a thing regularly. As long as it is state funds, borrowing money for projects is not a matter of principle. It is not for personal interests, let alone special funds or key project funds.
But I didn’t say anything more, because I knew that too much words would lead to mistakes. And this was also to maintain her authority. She needed authority even more in front of me, because I was the top leader of the municipal government and was responsible for all departments under her direct leadership.
The executor of major projects.
Nowadays, discord between parties and governments is very common across the country. In fact, Secretary Chen, Mayor Wen, and later Mayor Liu all fell into this problem. Now that it is my turn to cooperate with Secretary Rong, I should not go there again
Take that old path.
The root cause of the discord between the party and the government is still the struggle for power. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is wise to let the municipal government do things. As the top leader of the government, it is particularly important to position yourself correctly.
.
Secretary Rong is a little different from her predecessor. At least she is very tolerant. As for me, I don’t think some things are so important, so I believe we can cooperate well. What’s more, I am a man.
, there is no need to argue with a lesbian.
Not only when I report work to her when we are alone, I also pay special attention to positioning myself in public places. I believe Secretary Rong can completely sense my attitude towards her.
At this government executive meeting, Mayor Wu first reported on the government's work priorities and assessment methods this year. His work was very detailed. In addition to listing the overall principles and key projects individually, he also listed each individual
The key tasks of the deputy mayor's division of labor are listed. Of course, these contents have been discussed with him in advance.
Then each deputy mayor expressed his position according to the scope of his division of labor. Since we had done more detailed work in the past, they did not put forward many objections.
Next, we began to study the issue of urban water supply safety.
The deputy mayor in charge of this work still mentioned the issue of funds after the Environmental Protection Bureau Director introduced the situation. He said that the main problem in this matter is funds, and at present he really can't think of any good way to solve this problem.
Other deputy mayors also said that this matter is urgent and the government needs to find a solution as soon as possible. Mayor Wu kept smiling bitterly, "The question is, where will the money come from?"
I didn't tell him what I had discussed with Secretary Rong before this because I wanted to listen to everyone's opinions at the meeting. After all, my own thinking has great limitations. I think things like this
You should first listen to them to see if they have any other options before speaking.
But now it seems that they are unable to do anything about it. This is not a problem with their abilities and thinking, but the fundamental problem is that our finances are too poor.
The question came back to me. I immediately said: "Let me talk about this matter. First, this matter cannot be delayed, and there is no need to say more about it. It is the responsibility of the government to protect the health and life safety of citizens. Now
When we discover a problem, we must deal with it immediately and never allow existing hidden dangers to actually occur.
On this point, all the comrades here have the same opinion. Second, regarding the source of funds. I have discussed this matter with the leaders in charge before today's meeting.
We need to solve the funding problem from three aspects: First, it should be feasible to obtain some funds from higher-level departments or provincial leaders. Every year, various departments in the province will allocate special funds, and we cannot wait for others to take the initiative to allocate them.
We should take the initiative to ask for it and fight for it. The special funds for a department in the province are fixed every year, just like rice in a pot. If we don't ask for it, it will be taken away by other counties and cities.
Therefore, we must seize the time to fight for this matter. Secondly, we must raise part of the funds ourselves. As far as I know, there are still some funds in the special account of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. Although these funds have other uses, at present
This matter must be resolved immediately. We must consider key projects first, and delaying other matters will not have too much impact.
Also, all the funds obtained from leasing the reservoir for breeding in recent years must be used for the use of this project. This is a national resource, not a welfare project of a certain unit, and this fund is never allowed to be used for the welfare of the unit.
.In addition, the government also needs to consider part of the financial resources. Please ask Mayor Wu to coordinate and resolve this matter.
Second, due to the urgency of this matter, because none of us can guarantee when the existing hidden dangers will appear, we must immediately remediate the water source and the environment around the water source. In order to ensure that the remediation work can be carried out as soon as possible
To proceed, Secretary Rong and I have discussed that the upfront funds for the entire project will be temporarily advanced by the Municipal Industrial Park. After the project is completed, the funds must be returned to the account of the industrial park as soon as possible.
Mayor Wu, please make a report in the name of the industrial park as soon as possible. The Environmental Protection Bureau will also make an application report and ask Secretary Rong to sign it. Now I am still the director of the industrial park. After I sign, the money will arrive.
It's on the Environmental Protection Agency's account.
This matter must be handled immediately without any delay. Here I would like to criticize the work of the Environmental Protection Bureau, because I have held a special meeting to arrange this matter before, but until now the Environmental Protection Bureau has not made any arrangements.
As, this kind of thing cannot happen once or twice. I don’t need to say more about some things. I hope the responsible comrades of the Environmental Protection Bureau will take this as a warning.
Third, in order to completely ensure that there will be no mistakes during the implementation of the project, starting from today, the water plant must strictly monitor the sanitary conditions of the water source, and please ask the health department to coordinate this matter. Once something goes wrong during this period
If there are any problems, the person in charge of the relevant department will bear the corresponding responsibility..." (To be continued)
