Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young Participates in 'Local Autonomy 2.0 – High Hopes' Challenge

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young pledged through the 'Local Autonomy 2.0 – High Hopes' challenge that "I will achieve local autonomy that changes my life."

Mayor Yeom Tae-young participated in the 'Local Autonomy 2.0 – High Hopes' challenge on the 5th in his office after being nominated by Geoje Mayor Byeon Gwang-yong and Suwon City Council member Jo Myung-ja (former Suwon City Council Speaker). The challenge is conducted by holding a hand-written sign with a message of hope about the 'Local Autonomy 2.0 era,' taking a photo, and posting it on personal SNS.

Challenge participants nominate three additional participants. Mayor Yeom Tae-young nominated Hong Young-pyo (Chairman of the Great Local Government Committee), Kim Jung-seok (President of Gangwon Ilbo), and Lee Jae-eun (Director of Goyang City Policy Research Institute).

The 'Local Autonomy 2.0 – High Hopes Challenge' was launched in December by the Committee on Local Autonomy.

The 'Local Autonomy 2.0 era' refers to a time when local governments coordinate and cooperate based on the revised Local Autonomy Act and the capacity accumulated by local governments, activating regional communities.
