Ending weeks of speculation, Taitung County Commissioner Hsu Ching-yuan (®}¼y¤¸) formally announced yesterday that he is severing ties with the People First Party (PFP) to give his endorsement to a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate yesterday.
"I am putting politics aside to make Taitung's development my top priority. For these legislative elections, I have decided to support the DPP's candidate for Taitung County in consideration of what is in the best interests of Taitung and for no other reason.
I hope that the projects to expand Taitung's Fugang Harbor (´I©£´ä) and widen the Southern Cross-Island Highway («n°j¤½¸ô) will take place before the eyes of Taitung residents as soon as possible," said Hsu, who was one of the PFP's founding members, yesterday at a press conference.
The central government's support for the two county construction projects have long been cited by Hsu as his condition for helping the DPP in its legislative efforts in Taitung.
