Now is not the time for 'austerity fiscal policy.'

Now, 'expansionary fiscal policy' is the answer.

The national R&D; budget has been cut by 16.6%.

It is as if a farmer were robbed of seeds to plant.

Gyeonggi Province will do differently.

We will continue the 'expansionary fiscal policy' direction following the last supplementary budget.

We will prepare for the future, revive the economy, and expand care services.

We will pursue the establishment of 'Special Autonomous Province of Northern Gyeonggi' without wavering.

For anything that concerns the lives and future of our residents, we will always boldly forge a new path.
