●County Government Fights Against Expensive Kinmen-Taiwan Flight Fare For At Least 13 Times.
●台金機票貴 縣府至少反映13次
There is continuous public complaint about overpriced (4) Kinmen-Taiwan flight fare recently, and suggests that County Governor should take PengHu as an example and provide citizen with airfare subsidy. The governor's response was that in the past 6 years the governor have filed at least 13 appeals to the central government and suggests that the Ministry of Transportation & Communications (MOTC) to review overall Kinmem-Taiwan airfare, examine the possibilities to lower the fare and raise the expense (5) of fare subsidy. Unfortunately, there has not yet any positive response. Starting from 2008, in order to help the disadvantaged and students, the governor has put a transportation voucher program into the budget plan, with near 95 million NT dollars of annual supplemental funds. However, if the local government takes over this responsibility, which primarily belongs to others, it will not only cause the confusion of area of responsibilities, but also impact local government budget. The county governor says they've been asking Kinmen-elected legislator to supervise MOTC in holding an overall review on this issue, and now they wish to convey their message via public voices and fight for a righteous result.
　 近來不斷有民眾反映，台金票價昂貴，建議縣府應比照澎湖提供縣民機票優惠補貼。金門縣政府回應指出，近6年來縣府前後已13次行文中央，建請交通部全面檢討調降台金航空票價，提高票價補貼額度，可惜未獲善意回應。縣府為照顧弱勢與學生，特別從2008年起編列預算發放交通券，年度補貼金額達新台幣9500萬元，但長期由地方政府負擔這項補貼，將造成權責移轉的後遺症，讓該負責的單位不必負責任，且將排擠地方政府預算。縣府表示，已多次轉請金門籍立委本於監管權責督促交通部全面檢討，也盼透過輿論爭取合理權益。
