Chapter 1074
"We have sponsored more than 400 children, and there may be more people in the city!"

Catherine was sitting behind her desk doing these statistics. She went to Sabine Cask Middle School with Lynch today, which was also her first step into politics.

Lynch established a student grant fund, which does not belong to the same institution as Blackstone Insurance.

Strictly speaking, insurance companies have needs and need returns, and the student fund itself has no profit-making institutions and capabilities.

It is completely supported by donations from caring people from all walks of life, helping those in need free of charge, and providing them with help that allows them to complete their studies, mainly in terms of money.

Currently, there is only one donor, Lynch, and the main person in charge of this foundation is Catherine.

She can decide who to support and who not to support. At present, the angel student fund can only help those needy out-of-school teenagers within the city of Sabine, and the maximum can only support them to read high school.

In fact, the Angel Scholarship Fund also has some follow-up work plans, such as helping young people who graduate from high school and who may go to college to provide business connection.

They can directly negotiate a student loan with Blackstone Insurance and get a long-term installment loan, so that they will not worry about the cost of schooling.

But that's for later, all you have to do now is find the right people and spend the money.

All of this is for Catherine's next plan, which is to become a city councilor in Sabine City. Before becoming a city councilor, she will do some things.

"There are still five months to go, and the election is about to start. Our time is not too much, but it should be enough!" Lynch flipped through the lists and piled them on the table randomly.

To him, the 400 people he decided to subsidize today are about 8 yuan, which is equivalent to... He doesn't know how to calculate it, but it's the extent that he can earn back this money in a short time anyway.

Even if this number expands to 4000 people, it is not too much money for him.

This is only for him. In fact, for some normal foundations, this amount of money is not a sum of money that can be easily withdrawn.

Especially for some small foundations, there are few people donating money, and they only exist by a certain rich man or a few people. They may only select dozens of children to support them throughout the year, not so many!

If Catherine wants to enter politics, the first step is to go beautifully.

She followed Ms. Tracy in the feminist movement across the country for a period of time, and gained enough exposure in the media. Now that she is connected with the matter of funding students, at least the media cannot discredit her.

Then, with some political dealing, she could easily be made a city councillor.

This year is the second year since the president was elected. From the middle of the year, some institutions in the city will re-elect the rulers, such as the mayor and members of the city council.

The selection of these people was elected by local citizens, and with some black-box operations, there was basically no problem with Catherine being elected.

What I'm doing now is to make the whole process of her becoming a member of parliament look like there is no shady scene, that's all!

Catherine put down the work in her hands and looked at Lynch, "I'm a little worried, afraid that I won't be able to do these tasks well." She looked down at the list on the table and more complicated situations, and some of them didn't know where they came from. start.

Only when you get in touch with it will you know how complicated things are. Sometimes subsidizing students to go to school is not just about paying money.

You have to take into account the traffic situation, you have to take into account the lunch problem, you have to take into account... a lot of problems.

There are also some people in the society who make things difficult, and there will be people who make things difficult for doing good deeds. Maybe their idea is just to get some benefits for themselves from this matter.

But they can't, and then the person becomes manic and eventually attacks!
If you can't get it, destroy it. There are always some people with bad brains.

In addition, after becoming a city councilor, her work will become complicated and unspecific.

Federal city councilors do not have committees and designated permanent jobs like members of Congress.

Most of their work comes from some report letters and complaints. For example, some people think that the irregular sewage discharge of a certain factory is the main reason for his hair loss. After receiving this letter, the councilors can decide whether to investigate the matter.

You can also give up.

Or if someone feels that the current road traffic in the city is not so convenient, the councilor can discuss with the mayor and other officials in the city council after a careful investigation, whether to build some new roads.

They don't have a clear division of labor, unlike the chief of police, who have fixed jobs every day.

This also means that they will encounter many daunting challenges, and there are many traps and hidden pits. If they are not careful, they are either on the opposite side of the citizens or on the opposite side of the capitalists.

People in the Federation have a common understanding that it is very difficult for city councilors to do well, even more difficult than being a congressman.

Members of Congress want to do moderately well, just abstain frequently, and they don't even have to do anything concrete.

But the city councilors are not good, the worst, or what they do is wrong. What they face is the raging protests of the citizens. Most city councilors can't work for too long, and this is the reason.

If you protect the interests of some people, you must offend others!

Lynch walked up to him and pressed her shoulder, "You just have to do what you want, you don't need to consider what the capitalists think, if they have opinions, let them come and talk to me!"

Catherine didn't know what domineering meant, but she felt that after Lynch said this, she felt a lot more relaxed. She took Lynch's hand and rubbed it with her cheek, "Maybe I will make many enemies for you .”

"The barren market here can't feed my enemies, so you can do it with confidence!"

His answer is still so reassuring, and his words are not arrogant words.

If you want to shake Lynch's position now, it's not something a capitalist or company with tens of millions of dollars can do. If you don't have a scale of hundreds of millions or billions, and you can't have close ties with the high-level federal government, don't try to shake Lin Qi. odd power.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he may not even give face to the governor now-this is just an example, in fact he will not do that.

The federal law makes the governor equal to the king of a state. They can even ignore the demands of the federal government and the president. When they really feel unbearable, their destructive power may not be much worse than that of the high-level federal government.

Even if there is no way to fight those big capitalists, at least let those people get out of their territory!

The next day, at another school, Lynch and Catherine sat in the principal's office.

Of course, the principal has no objection to Lynch and Catherine's approach. It is their business that they are willing to pay. The principal has never been troubled by having children go to school.

They're only bothered by not having their kids go to school!

"We have counted here, and there are about [-] children who cannot go to school because they cannot pay the tuition fees." The principal handed over the list.

Lynch did not pick up, now he is just a "follower", and the real owner is Catherine.

Catherine took the list and looked at it, frowning slightly, "Is it all because of the heavy snow?"

The principal nodded, "Not exactly, but most of them are. Now many factories in Sabine City have come to a standstill. We are just a small city here."

"Once the factories stop, many families will lose their security, and the city hall will start issuing food stamps again..."

Distributing food coupons means that the problems in the city have reached the point where it cannot be ignored. It means that if relief food is not distributed, people will starve to death!
This is not a small matter, and it also proves that the disaster caused by the heavy snow is devastating to Sabine City.

There was a momentary silence in the room, and everyone seemed to be feeling sorry for the bad news.

"The situation in the north seems to be more serious..." The principal laughed and joked about the worse situation, to set off the fact that Sabine City is not too bad.

Catherine didn't have much idea about the north, but Lynch nodded.

This year's cold winter is not the same as before. Without any warning, the temperature began to drop rapidly from the end of November, and it began to snow heavily in early December. Until now, it has not stopped for more than a month.

All traffic to the north was stopped, which also resulted in no progress in the work on Mariro's side.

The materials are difficult to pass, and the newly recruited novices are also difficult to pass, but this gives them more time and opportunities for training.

Temperatures seem to be cooling around the world, with Nagalil recording the lowest temperature ever recorded and Nanan, for example, which dropped below twenty degrees not long ago.

Many Nagalilians got sick because of the "cold" weather...

Closing the subject after a short pause, the principal asked, "Would you like to meet the kids, they're looking forward to chatting with you too."

Catherine withdrew her mind and nodded, "Yes, we must meet and talk to them. There will be a reporter at that time. Is it convenient for the school?"

"Of course it's convenient, we will fully cooperate."

The principal knew what this sentence meant, and he also understood that the money was not taken for nothing. If Catherine paid, she would definitely gain something.

What you gain is not money, but prestige, and the worship of the people!

When the time comes for the media to focus, we must make preparations first, let some children who can speak be interviewed, and let those who cannot speak become the background wall.

Catherine stood up, reached out her hand and shook hands with the principal, "After we review the list, we will transfer the money to the school's account. If there is any problem, we will contact you!"

The headmaster sent the two away with a smile on his face. The headmaster didn't feel any discomfort at what they did.

The school received tens of thousands of dollars in tuition fees, the students were able to go to school, Lynch and Catherine gained prestige, and everyone earned it!
