Chapter 1186 Fair University
I don't know how many people will argue about today's election, or even break up diplomatic relations, but this is the Federation.

In the evening, on the large lawn of the lakeside villa area, there are many dining tables piled up with all kinds of exquisite food.

If ordinary people were here, they would be amazed that so many celebrities gathered here.

Local, out-of-town, in-state, even Mr. Adelaide came in person, and all of this was for the last vote-calling session.

People gathered around the TV on the lawn, watching the tellers take the ballot boxes one by one, show them to the camera, and then sing the valid votes on them.

Boring, boring, but thrilling, maybe this is politics, a game that is boring to most people but attractive to a few.

Catherine turned her head and glanced at Lynch, "Are you nervous?"

Lynch shook his head, "It's doomed from the beginning, why are you nervous?"

Catherine thought for a while, "Because of the uncertainty, I don't know if people will vote for me. What if I lose?"

Lynch turned to look at her with a gentle smile on his face, "You won't lose the election, don't worry."

"While elections are hailed as a spiritual symbol of freedom, we all know that they are not as flawless as people think."

"It's enough for you to be ready for applause and cheers now, and you don't need to think about other things."

The largest ticket warehouse in a city is the factory, and the strength of the working class may only be manifested at this time.

Lynch was, unfortunately, on good terms with the workers' union, at least in this city.

His family workshop plan does not directly contact the most basic production units, but subcontracts the tasks to the workers' unions. The workers' unions will definitely get some benefits from it, but this is not important.

Those family workshops thought they had nothing to lose, the labor union thought they had nothing to lose, and Lynch thought he had nothing to lose.

With less money than usual, he got things of the same quality. Not to mention, he also increased his "sense of social responsibility". There are tens of thousands of families working for him in Sabine City. Who else is more responsible than him? Socially responsible?
Coupled with his status among local capitalists and his relationship with politicians such as the governor of the state, he has many friends.

When he stood at the scene of Catherine's campaign speech, in fact, the part of this election related to Catherine has already been determined.

Workers' unions will use methods that are not illegal to favor those families in voting, and those capitalists will tell their workers their choices.

Maybe the workers will not completely obey the opinions of the factory owners, business owners, and big capitalists to vote for, but most people will still do so.

This does not violate the spirit of freedom, it is a kind of blind obedience bred in long-term exploitation and oppression.

No one will resist, and of course there is no point in resisting, and you will lose your job instead.

With such a large base, and the implications of education reform, most families with children who haven't graduated high school will vote for Catherine.

When the votes began to be counted, Catherine's hand tightly held Lynch's hand until the last one.

The mayor appeared in the camera. On behalf of the Sabine City Hall, he announced the list of city councilors for the next period of time, and Catherine was impressively ranked first!

There is no suspense.

As soon as the results came out, the sky in the lakeside villa area was dyed brilliantly by fireworks, and the quiet lawn suddenly became lively. People kept saying flattering words of congratulations, and one by one, they came to Catherine's side to talk to her. Shake hands, and praise her for winning.

A stone fell to the ground, and Catherine breathed a long sigh of relief. A force that she didn't realize entered her body and began to make her energetic.

After completing the social etiquette of congratulating most people, Lynch handed Catherine over to her mentor and staff, the former university journalism professor.

He himself stepped aside and stood with Mr. Adelaide.

"Congratulations, Lynch." Mr. Adelaide raised his glass with a smile, and the two touched each other.

Lynch took a sip and took back the cup, "Thank you for helping her say something."

Politics is always very interesting and very ingenious. For example, the governor talked about his agreement with Catherine on some political ideas in some semi-public occasions, which is enough to make people pay attention to her, and without compromising their own interests. , support her.

This kind of "help" is not something that can be solved entirely with money, it also requires a lot of influence.

If the governor can help, even if he just says a few words, it will be of great help to Catherine's victory in the election.

"Mr. President also mentioned education reform. Maybe we can find a suitable path from her." After a short pause, he continued, "It's just about universities..."

In the education reform mentioned by Catherine, there is a question about universities, a university that is more fair to ordinary people, and it will be different from the current public universities and private universities.

It will not be like the other two universities, which mainly rely on students' hobbies and recommendation letters for admission. In such a fair university, grades will become more important.

It has a suitable score line. As long as you pass the score line and prove your academic achievements and level, you can enter the university.

It's a nice idea, but...it's just an idea, and it hasn't become a reality yet.

The purpose of Mr. Adelaide's visit this time, besides congratulating Catherine on his victory, is mainly to talk to Lynch about university issues.

Universities can also be seen as the result of cultural work in a region, and they are of a very advanced kind.

Originally, the governor had no hope of being re-elected. He had been re-elected for quite some time, and the state was rapidly losing interest in the governor's administration.

People are tired of the old days and they wonder if a different governor can make a difference in York State, which makes it very difficult for the governor to be re-elected.

There is not much time left for him. If he does nothing to try to change the current situation, then he better start thinking about where he will go next.

Congress, or whatever.

But Lynch proposed to build a new university, which brought a turning point to all this.

Once a new university is established, and the admission method of this new university is different from the existing public university admission method and private university admission method, plus the student loans mentioned by Lynch, he can use these to do his job again. one term.

Two years seems to be a short time, but it is actually a long time. In two years, he can accumulate more political power, and he can calmly sell himself in the party for a good price.

And two years will allow him to take his control over the local area to another level, which will help his damn nephew get more "political legacy" and thus have a chance to go higher.

Lynch didn't evade, "I've already started working on it, and if nothing else happens, it will be established before the state election."

This answer made Mr. Adelaide heave a sigh of relief. He was a little nervous and sweaty, and now he felt a little uncomfortable when he relaxed.

"If there is anything that needs us, please call us at any time. We are willing to cooperate more actively with such a good thing that can provide an upward channel for the public."

Lynch nodded, "Do you think it's better for me to announce the news, or for the governor to announce it?"

Mr. Adelaide smiled, "If Ms. Catherine doesn't mind..."

"She won't mind!"

For Catherine now, she can't eat the benefits of her announcement. It's like giving a whale to a tadpole. It spends all its time and energy eating, and it can't eat it. only whale.

The benefits it can bring are not many, and even because of her announcement of the news, some people will feel disgusted.

There will always be people who think this way - if Lynch hadn't spent money, you would not be so dazzling.

So instead, it is better to sell this favor to the governor. It seems that it is just an announcement, but whoever announces it can leave a very deep positive impression on the public.

Catherine is not lacking, but the governor lacks this, and at the same time the governor has the political power that Catherine needs, this is a deal.

After Catherine wins the election, there are still a few days before she takes office. There is a handover process here, and the lost city councilors have to finish some work, which will take time.

During this period, the governor stood up and expressed his affirmation of the stability of the process of alternation of city councilors in various places. At the same time, he also mentioned Catherine and her ideas and plans for education reform.

At the same time, he announced that a project extending from Catherine's plan was formally established.

York State is going to establish a brand new university, which is different from traditional public or private universities, as long as excellent high school students can study in this university.

Even if some students' grades are slightly worse, but they are willing to study, especially the students who are now in the second and third year of high school, it is not impossible.

Between high school and this university, there are also some "preparatory universities". Students whose academic performance is not enough to meet the requirements of university admission can try to apply to study in preparatory universities.

When their grades meet the university's needs, they can apply for transfer.

This time, the governor did not use words that cannot be traced to specificity and vague time to describe all this. He gave people an accurate and specific project content and an accurate time.

This news aroused great repercussions in York state in an instant, and all of this was turned into his political capital under the governor's operation.

He began to seek another re-election.

These things that happened in York State began to spread outward, and soon Mr. President also knew.

He was very interested in education reform. After he had a general understanding of the admission method of this new university, he couldn't help calling Lynch to ask him when he would come back.

He can't wait to learn more, and this follow-up will also provide him with very valuable help in promoting education reform across the country!
