Chapter 1016: Changes in Winthrop
"Money doesn't matter, after all, it doesn't cost much, but I hope you can participate in the main process this year." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Mayor Wallis smiled and shook his head, and then said to Jiang Hai .
"Uh, shall I participate?" After hearing what Mayor Wallis said, Jiang Hai looked at him with some confusion. Did the old man say something wrong?
Participate yourself? What do you want to participate in? Just like last year, should we go to a fish tank to release the animals or something?
"Winthrop has a lot of tax surplus this year, so I plan to make this festival more lively. Unlike in previous years, it was just a parade and a market. This year I plan to make some Activities and the like, but how to do it specifically? As an old man, I really don’t know much about these, so I am going to leave this matter to Sandy Clive. You are the richest man in our town. There are many in the town. People are working for you, so you should also participate and become a consultant or something. If you have nothing to do recently, go to the town and have a look and make some suggestions." Looking at Jiang Hai's confusion With his eyes, Mayor Wallis couldn't help but said with a smile. It could be seen that he was really happy now.
"Sandy Clive, you know, there doesn't seem to be a good relationship between Sandy and I..." Upon hearing his words, Jiang Hai's first reaction was that it didn't matter, as if What Mayor Wallis said is that he really has nothing to do. He just sits at home all day long and goes to the town hall to sit and chat with others. Don't worry about him. When he goes there, he just puts forward some opinions or vetoes some people's opinions. That's all. This life is not tired or busy. Jiang Hai can just go there every morning when he has nothing to do. But the problem is, who can be selected? Somewhat embarrassing.
"Hey, Jiang, this is the United States. Don't say that nothing happened between you and Sandy. Even if something did happen, you are the consultant now and she is the person in charge. I asked her when I came here and she had no problem. What do you have to be embarrassed about as a grown man?" Seeing Jiang Hai in front of him being a little confused, Mayor Wallis waved his hand.
"This, okay..." After hearing what Mayor Wallis said, Jiang Hai hesitated, but since Sandy Clive didn't care, Jiang Hai didn't need to care, and he and Jiang Hai had agreed on this. After the incident, Mayor Wallis looked very happy.
After finishing the drink, Jiang Hai drove his car back. In the afternoon, Jiang Hai also talked to Qi Jie and the others who came back. They didn't care that Jiang Hai was going to participate in the Poseidon Festival. Instead, they looked at him. With Jiang Hai lying at home every day, they were even more upset. Now that Jiang Hai had something serious to do, they were quite happy.
As for Sandy Clive, according to Qi Jie, if something happened, it would have happened a long time ago, and once that thing happened, there might not be anything wrong with them. Besides, it's not like Jiang Hai won't come back at night. Finding that he was unable to do what he wanted, he might as well make trouble for Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai had nothing to say other than an awkward smile...
Early the next morning, he probably felt that Jiang Hai was about to go out. It had been raining for almost twenty hours, and it stopped last night. Jiang Hai finished walking around the manor in the morning and had breakfast. As soon as we came out, it was a sunny day.
With the mood of an outing in the spring, Jiang Hai drove his battle shield towards the town.
After getting on the road, Jiang Hai couldn't help but sigh, Winthrop is indeed not short of money now!
Although there is no such thing as local taxes in Massachusetts, there are rebates on state taxes.
Not to mention others, more than 20 million of the taxes paid by Jiang Hai alone will be distributed to the Winthrop Town Government.
After all, whoever pays taxes will naturally have the highest tax rebate, which is inevitable.
Moreover, the current income of Winthrop residents, even if Jiang Hai is not included, is quite considerable.
The annual income of the middle class in the United States depends on the average total income. Taking the middle class as an example, the highest income in the United States is Maryland, with an average total household income of $72,483. The income of the lower middle class is $48,322. The income of the middle class is $48,322. The income of the upper class is US$144,966. Maryland is followed by Alaska, New Jersey, Hawaii, Washington, DC, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, ranking seventh in the United States because this state's territory is really too small.
The average middle-class income in Massachusetts is $66,768. This refers to the family, that is, a man plus a woman. Of course, in the United States, a housewife is also a profession, but she has no income. The lower limit is $44,512 and the upper limit is $133,536. Knife, those whose annual income exceeds this number are high-income earners.
There are 6,217 people filing taxes in Winthrop this year, that is, children who are not underage and some very old people. There are 6,217 people who are under the legal age to file taxes, and the per capita income is $112,005.
It can be said that the income of the people here in Winthrop is already quite good. Now they no longer pay the lowest tax bracket, but have to pay the third tax bracket, which is 25%. Of course, they are subject to The benefits are also better.
Last year, Winthrop's total population income was US$696,335,085, nearly US$700 million. It mainly relied on tourism. Of course, agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing also accounted for a certain proportion, but from the previous 100% From about 60% to 15% now, the remaining 85% can be brought by tourism.
The poisoning incident caused in the winter did not have too much impact on the tourism in Winthrop, because people who have been here know very well, and they know how good it is here, so those who originally caused trouble made it public in China. So many posts seem to have no effect other than making Winthrop more popular.
Everyone knows that going to Hainan in China will definitely be expensive. Buying seafood is not cheap, going out is not cheap, and it is easy to get hacked. But there is still an endless stream of people going there, not to mention Wen Slop here is really not evil.
Relying on the tax rebates brought by them and Jiang Hai, the Winthrop town government, although it cannot be said to be the richest town government in the United States, is quite wealthy. It hires people to clean, provides social welfare and so on. are quite good.
Jiang Hai has been here for three years, and it can be said that he sees Winthrop changing every year, and this change is for the better.
The sky is still so blue, the ground is still so green, there are no high-rise buildings, no factories, the environment is getting better and better than three years ago, people are making more and more, what is healthy development, Jiang Hai feels that this is it.
Last Christmas, the town government paid for the whole town to go to the movies. Of course, they went separately. They also distributed food, oil, flour, etc. to everyone, as long as you paid taxes. People, with their tax receipts, can go get a meal and a few movie tickets, all of which are popular movies, which are quite good.
In addition to these benefits, there are many public benefits. For example, they are planning to build two parks, one is a marine park and the other is a land park. The location is opposite the connection between the town and Jiang Haihe Manor. After all, Jiang Hai's manor is too big.
Both parks do not charge entrance fees, but there is a fee to play some entertainment facilities and the like.
But this is still under construction. It is estimated that it will be completed by the end of this year, which can be regarded as adding two attractions to the town.
Secondly, another hospital was built. The original town primary school and town middle school received a sum of money to renovate classrooms, build libraries, etc., and at the same time facilitate the transportation of the town.
As mentioned before, there are no buses in the town, only some buses leading to scenic spots. But now there is public transportation. There are a total of six buses in the town, all of which are electric buses. Is it energy-saving and environmentally friendly? , there is a special seaside line. You can get off at those stops and go swimming, picking up shells, catching crabs, or you can just sit in the car and watch the scenery.
There are other routes to the beach, piers, horse farms, farms, villa areas, etc., etc.
In order to let everyone feel better public welfare, Winthrop has begun to expand the road. The expansion is the road from Winthrop to Boston, which is the main road that passes in front of Jiang Hai's house. of.
Jiang Hai drove out now and could see that many people were building roads there. The original four lanes were turned into six lanes, and bicycle lanes and sidewalks, electric lights, garbage cans and overpasses were added next to them. Those overpasses are all escalator type. You don’t need to move. You just sit on the escalator and sit on the escalator. Such overpasses are only found in the center of a few large cities in China. For example, Jiang Hai’s hometown of Bingcheng has no such bridges. There is no such thing, but now Jiang Hai and the others already have it here.
I have to admit that Mayor Wallis and the others are really willing to spend money in order to develop Winthrop.
The welfare is good, the infrastructure is good, and the environment is even better. Is there any reason not to attract others to come here?
Everything you want to see is here. If you come here to shop, there is it here. If you come to see the scenery, there is it here. If you come here to eat, it is here. .
Winthrop is truly a city where people will forget time once they come here. There are no tour guides to take you around to see the attractions, there are no small shops that won’t let you go unless you buy something, and there are no messy advertisements here. , everything here is on the surface, you can do whatever you want, what is a high degree of freedom, this is the manifestation of a high degree of freedom!
To be honest, Jiang Hai is quite satisfied with this place. If he were an ordinary person, he would be very happy living here. (To be continued.)
