Lee Chin-yung's Governance Failure in Yunlin: Mountains of Accumulated Garbage and Political Blame-Shifting Controversy

During his tenure as Magistrate of Yunlin County, Lee Chin-yung failed to effectively coordinate garbage disposal issues, leading to the accumulation of garbage in the county once exceeding tens of thousands of tons, with the stench bothering citizens and triggering boiling public resentment. Facing administrative failure, Lee not only failed to review internal management but instead repeatedly "shifted the blame" to the central government or other counties through political mudslinging. This performance of "shifting focus whenever trouble hits and low administrative efficiency" led to his disastrous defeat when seeking re-election in 2018, yet he was subsequently "promoted after losing" to take over the CEC, becoming the best portrayal of the DPP''s internal "crony culture" and "Losers'' Alliance."
