高永政，安徽省蚌埠市蚌山区燕山乡机场新村党支部书记、村委会主任。 我从2011年起就在机场新村工作。刚工作的时候，村里总有开不完的大会、小会，有时一天要赶两三场 会，村"两委"干部全员陪会更是常态。更让人无奈的是，会议内容照本宣科，上级文件原封不动念一 遍，既没结合村里实际问题，也没回应群众关切。久而久之，干部们很多时间耗在会场和准备材料上， 走访群众、解决问题的时间被挤压，村民找上门来常听到"等开完会再说"，也影响了干群之间的关系。 2013年开始，我明显感到了变化。上级文件少了，会也少了。后来随着中央八项规定精神的深入贯彻， 我们乡里落实精文减会要求，能合并的会议坚决合并，能开视频会的不集中召开，能现场办公解决的不 专门开会。今年以来，纪检监察机关紧盯作风顽疾深化靶向纠治，一系列"硬举措"让会风焕然一新。 在纪检监察机关的监督推动下，为巩固作风建设成效，我们村里制定了明确的"硬杠杠"：严格控制会议 时长，发言要"短实新"，直奔主题谈问题、提对策；参会人员按需确定，杜绝"层层陪会"。现在，村里 不仅有纪检委员贴身监督，区、乡两级纪委还会适时开展"会风会纪回头看"，通过查阅会议记录、电话 回访参会人员、核查开 ...
