경기도의회 건설교통위원회(위원장 김종배)는 지난 9월 8일 김동연 경기도지사와 ‘오찬 간담회’를 갖고 확장추경 관련 주요 현안사업 논의를 통해 ‘여야정 협치’를 위한 계기를 마련했다.

김종배 위원장(더불어민주당, 시흥4)을 비롯한 건설위 의원들은 이날 옛 도지사 공관인 ‘도담소’에서 열린 긴동연지사와의 오찬 간담회에서 추경예산과 도로건설 주요 현안에 대한 자유로운 토론을 진행하고, 이 자리를 통해 ‘여야정 협의체’ 활성화 재도약의 발판이 되길 기대했다.

김동연 경기도지사는 인사말에서 “도의회 도정 질의에 나름 성의껏 답변드리려고 애쓰고 있지만 부족한 점도 있을 것”이라며, “더 노력하도록 하겠고 5분 발언도 잘 듣고 허투루 듣지 않겠다”고 말했다.

김종배 위원장은 인사말에서 “이번 회기에 세수부족 상황에도 본예산 대비1,432억원이 증가한 1차 추경안이 제출됐다”며, “건설위 소관 건설국 692억, 교통국 29억, 철도항만물류국 191억 원 등이 증액 편성돼 도로건설 등에 집중투자가 예상되고 있어 건설교통위원장으로서 막중한 책임감을 갖고 있다”고 말했다.

이어 김 위원장은 “오늘 협의 자리가 각종 도로건설 등 SOC사업 확충과 ‘시내버스 준공영제’의 성공적인 시행, GTX 플러스 연장 및 신설, 고속철도 경기북부 연장 및 광역철도 등의 제5차 국가철도망 구축계획 반영 등 우리 위원회 주요 현안에 대한 발전적인 공론의 장이 되길 바란다”고 강조했다.

이날 건설교통위원회 오찬간담회에는 김종배 위원장을 비롯해 허원 부위원장(국민의힘, 이천2), 이기형 부위원장(더불어민주당, 김포4), 김정영(국민의힘, 의정부1), 양운석(더불어민주당, 안성1), 김동영(더불어민주당, 남양주4), 김동희(더불어민주당, 부천6), 오석규(더불어민주당, 의정부4), 오준환(국민의힘, 고양9), 이영주(국민의힘, 양주1), 이홍근(더불어민주당, 화성1) 의원이 참석했다.

Construction and Transportation Committee and Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon pledge to promote ‘cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties’

Discussing current provincial administrative issues related to the Construction Committee, such as the supplementary budget and semi-public bus system

On September 8, the Construction and Transportation Committee of the Gyeonggi Provincial Council (Chairman Kim Jong-bae) held a ‘luncheon meeting’ with Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon and discussed major pending projects related to the expanded supplementary budget, providing an opportunity for ‘cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties.’

Construction Committee members, including Chairman Kim Jong-bae (Democratic Party of Korea, Siheung 4), held an open discussion on the supplementary budget and major road construction issues at a luncheon meeting with Governor Kin Dong-yeon held at the old provincial governor's official residence, 'Dodamso'. It was hoped that the event would serve as a stepping stone for the revitalization of the ruling and opposition-government consultative body.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon said in his greeting, “I am trying my best to answer the Provincial Council’s questions, but there are probably some shortcomings.” He added, “I will try harder, and I will listen carefully to the five-minute speech and not listen in vain.”

In his greeting, Chairman Kim Jong-bae said, “Despite the tax revenue shortfall in this session, the first supplementary budget was submitted with an increase of KRW 143.2 billion compared to the main budget,” and “Increases of KRW 69.2 billion for the Construction Bureau under the Construction Committee, KRW 2.9 billion for the Transportation Bureau, and KRW 19.1 billion for the Railway, Port and Logistics Bureau, etc. “As intensive investment is expected in road construction, etc., I have a great sense of responsibility as the chairman of the Construction and Transportation Committee,” he said.

Chairman Kim continued, “Today’s discussion reflects the 5th national railway network construction plan, including expansion of SOC projects such as various road construction, successful implementation of the ‘city bus semi-public system’, extension and new construction of GTX Plus, extension of high-speed railway to northern Gyeonggi Province, and metropolitan railway. “I hope this will be a forum for progressive public discussion on our committee’s major issues,” he emphasized.
