Pingtung in the News 屏東的新聞 (North 北) 6


There are 29 townships, 3 municipalities and one city in Pingtung County.  It's exhausting to include news from every township, municipality and Pingtung City every time, so what I'll do instead is include news items from eleven different townships or municipalities in each entry.  This way I should be able to work my way through Pingtung County every three entries. 屏東縣包含了29個鄉, 3個鎮還有屏東市.  每次討論所有鄉鎮的新聞太累了, 所以我會每次討論11個鄉鎮的報告.  這樣子我每三篇新聞文章就會涵蓋到全縣內鄉鎮的新聞.

1. The two biggest issues were nuclear power (specifically related to an unfinished reactor) and the importation of pork containing ractopamine.  The DPP wants to phase out nuclear power and to allow the importation of ractopamine-laced pork.  The KMT, conversely, is for nuclear power and against the importation of ractopamine-laced pork.  The two other issues in the referendum are the construction of a natural gas production facility on a reef west of Taoyuan, and a possible change in the dates on which referendums are held.  I don't think either the DPP or the KMT have done a good job arguing their positions on the referendum.

2. I'd agree with this statement.  It really will have wide-ranging repurcussions.

3. Don't be fooled by the picture!  I've been there, and aside from that one view it's not awesome.

4. Having been skimming through the local news for a while now, I can confidently assert that Linluo has the weirdest, most interesting news.

5. The relatively high population densities of these two areas is also a factor.  It rains like the wrath of God in Sandimen, Wutai and other mountain townships, but the relatively low population of those places means that flooding isn't as much of a problem.

6. They look like taxis, but operate more like buses with assigned routes.

7. I have yet to visit this event, but judging by the news coverage it sounds very popular.  I'm usually in Taitung during Chinese New Year.

8. A local DPP lawmaker was there, so I'm sure this statement was well-rehearsed.

9. The DPP enjoys a broad base of support in Pingtung County.  The current County Magistrate, Pan Meng-an, was onstage alongside Su Jen-chang.  From what I've heard the next magistrate will likely come from the DPP as well.
