012- Issues Rundown: 다산신도시/택배업체 갈등, 김기식 거취, 지방선거 update

- Apartment complex in 다산신도시 (Dasan New Town) in a dispute with 택배업체(delivery companies) over where to park and deliver packages. Accusations of "갑질" abound on both sides. Issue of safety vs. convenience. Hard to pick a side, but the media narrative and public sentiment has been decidedly against the apartment residents as they demand their packages to be hand-delivered regardless of the inconvenience to the drivers. Lots of previous cases of workers/laborers being abused by apartment residents. - FSS chief 김기식 continuously under fire for alleged improprieties when he was a lawmaker. The 출장 issue as well as the unfortunate mud-slinging with his young intern (여비서 being a dog-whistle?), resulting in backlash from female staff at the National Assembly. Despite the growing pressure for him to resign, 청와대 (Blue House) sticking to their guns. Counter-accusations against LKP's 김성태 of doing the same. Suspicions that Samsung and the other Chaebols are masterminding a smear campaign to oust the reformist financial watchdog. People want to see a "two-top" reformist drive with 김상조 of the FTC and 김기식 of the FSS but the political realities may preclude that scenario. - Local elections starting to heat up as more candidates officially announce. 박원순 announces his bid for a 3rd team as Seoul Mayor. Incumbent 경기 governor 남경필 reportedly prefers a matchup against 이재명 over 전해철, defying conventional wisdom. Possible blue wave in South 경상 with 경남 gubernatorial race "old boy" 김태호 vs Moon-loyalist 김경수 and Busan mayoral race with 오거돈 vs pro-Park incumbent 서병수. 제주 incumbent governor 원희룡 trying to have it both ways by quitting the 바른미래당 but not joining up with 자유한국당.
