Getting involved in traffic accidents has become a “hidden occupational hazard” for Taichung city councilors, with three councilors having been involved in accidents over the past six months, a source said on Sunday.
Councilors on average attend 20 events around the city each day, and as many as 30 events a day during busier periods, the source said, but added that they are still being criticized for “not caring enough about grassroots supporters.”
