The Yunlin County Government approved the application in just one day, even though the land use change contravened the Regional Plan Act (區域計畫法), he said. The county only fined the company NT$60,000 for illegal use of land and damage to the ecosystem, he said. Ye Yuan-zhi (葉元之), who is spokesman for Han’s campaign as the Chinese Nationalist Party’s (KMT) presidential candidate, said that Huang has no evidence of wrongdoing by Han. The only so-called evidence of Han improperly using his influence is records from meetings on the embankment project, Ye said. “We will not play along, because we know that Huang is doing this to get attention and to promote the NPP,” he said.
