1186 Fair University

I don’t know how many people will quarrel or even break off relations over today’s election, but this is the Federation.

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

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

People from the local area, from out of town, from within the state, and even Mr. Adelaide came in person, and all this was for the last voting session.

People gathered around the TV on the lawn and watched the vote counters take out the votes one by one from the ballot box, then showed them to the camera, and then sang the valid votes above.

Boring, boring, but thrilling, perhaps 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, "Why should you be nervous about something that was destined from the beginning?"

Catherine thought for a moment, "Because of the uncertainty, I don't know if people will vote for me, and 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."

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

"You just need to be ready for the applause and cheers now, and you don't need to think about anything else."

The largest vote bank in a city is the factory. Perhaps only at this time can the power of the working class be reflected.

Lynch unfortunately had good relations with the workers' unions, 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' union. The workers' union will definitely get some benefits from it, but this is not important.

Those family workshops think they are not losing money, the workers' union thinks they are not losing money, and Lynch also thinks he is not losing money.

He used less money than usual to get things of the same quality. Not only did he also increase his sense of "social responsibility", there were tens of thousands of families working for him in Sabine City. Who else could be better than him? Have a sense of social responsibility?

Coupled with his status among local capitalists and his relationship with politicians such as the governor of the state, this gave him many friends.

When he stood at Catherine's campaign speech, the fact that the election was about Catherine had already been determined.

People from workers' unions will use non-illegal methods to bias those families in voting, and those capitalists will tell their workers their choices.

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

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

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

With such a large base and the implications of education reform, most families with children who have not yet graduated from high school will vote for Catherine.

When the counting started, Catherine's hand held Lynch's hand tightly until the last one.

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

There is no suspense.

When the results came out for the first time, the sky in the lakeside villa area was dyed with brilliant colors by fireworks, and the quiet lawn suddenly became lively. People kept saying nice words of compliments and congratulations, and one by one they walked up to Catherine and talked to her. Shake hands and compliment her on her win.

A stone fell to the ground, and Catherine let out a long sigh of relief. A force that she had not even discovered entered her body and began to make her energetic.

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

He himself walked aside and stood with Mr. Adelaide.

"Congratulations, Lynch." Mr. Adelaide smiled and raised his glass, and the two clinked.

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

Politics is always very interesting and very clever. For example, when the governor talked about his agreement with Catherine’s political ideas on some semi-public occasions, it was enough for people to pay attention to her and not harm their own interests. , support her.

This kind of "help" cannot be solved entirely with money, it also requires a lot of power.

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

"Mr. President also mentioned education reform. Maybe we can find a path that suits us from her." After a pause, he added, "It's just about the university..."

Among the educational reforms mentioned by Catherine, there is an issue about universities, a university that is more equitable to ordinary people, and 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' interests and letters of recommendation 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, it hasn't become a reality yet.

The purpose of Mr. Adelaide's visit was not only to congratulate Catherine on her victory on his own behalf, but also to discuss university issues with Lynch.

A university can also be seen as the result of a region's cultural work, and it is also a very high-level one.

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 governance.

People are tired of the past and want to know if a change of governor can bring some changes to York State, which makes it very difficult for the governor to be re-elected.

There isn't much time left for him. If he doesn't do anything to try to change the current situation, then he'd better start thinking about where to go next.

Congress, or wherever.

But Lynch proposed a new university, which brought a turn to all this.

Once a new university is established, and the admission method of this new university is different from the existing admission methods of public universities and private universities, plus the student loans mentioned by Lynch, he can rely on these to continue his career. One term.

Two years may seem like a short time, but it is actually very long. In two years, he will be able to accumulate more political power and be able to sell himself at a good price within the party.

And two years will allow him to take his local control to a higher level, which will help his damn nephew obtain more "political legacy" and have the opportunity to go higher.

Lynch did not evade, "I have already started working on it. If nothing else happens, it will be established before the state election."

This answer made Mr. Adelaide breathe a sigh of relief. He was a little nervous and sweaty. Now that he relaxed, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"If you need us for anything, please call us at any time. We are willing to cooperate more actively with this kind of good thing that can provide an upward path for the people."

Lynch nodded, "Do you think it would be better for me to announce this news, or for the governor to announce it?"

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

"She won't mind!"

For Catherine now, she can't eat the benefits from announcing the news. It's like giving a whale to a tadpole. It spends all its time and strength on eating, and it can't eat it. A whale.

The benefits it can bring are not many, and it may even make some people feel disgusted because she announced this news.

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

So it is better to sell this favor to the governor. It may seem like it is just an announcement, but whoever announces it can leave a very deep positive impression in front of the people.

Catherine is not lacking, but the governor is lacking this. At the same time, the governor has the political power Catherine needs. This is a deal.

There are still a few days left before Catherine takes office after she wins the election. There is a handover process, and the defeated city councilor has to finish some work, which will take time.

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

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

York State is about to establish a brand new university. This university is different from traditional public or private universities. As long as high school students with excellent studies can enter this university, almost all high school students can study in it.

Even if some students' grades are slightly worse, it is not impossible for them to be willing to study, especially those who are now in their second and third year of high school.

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

When their grades meet the needs of the college, they can apply to transfer.

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

This news instantly aroused a huge response in York State, and all this was turned into his political capital under the governor's control.

He began seeking re-election.

What happened in York State began to spread outward, and soon the president also knew about it.

He was very interested in education reform. After he had a general understanding of the new university's admissions methods, he couldn't help but call Lynch and ask when he would come back.

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