time budget, calculations and numbers. Immediately clean the field from a misunderstanding that might arise. The budget is an act of economics that the public authority is required to prepare and approve the terms established by law. The "social budget" presented by the municipal administration, is another thing.
Emilio Roman (PDL) and the former commissioner to the budget, Cosimo Napoletano, the associations have met a few weeks ago to tell them what was done and how public money is spent in two years of administrative center right. Too bad that at 10 am on Tuesday, few were able to listen, but interested parties may refer the hearing conferences organized for that purpose. He wanted to talk about the "social balance sheet explained to the citizens' but inevitable that the bending of the discussion will address the future, so that the mayor has been pointed out that "the payments to small associations are close to 0!" The national government (PDL + League) has decided to cut off funding to the municipalities and will Monopoli € 1,115,000 in less than contributions. This is the news in 2011 but seems to have passed almost unnoticed, in the press as much in local politics.
So no funding to organizations that handle the social and cultural life of our city, with all due respect to those over the years have built beautiful and important initiatives in various sectors. The little that remains, 28 million euro, will be divided between compressible and incompressible expenditure costs. For example, it is essential, according to the mayor, to continue to invest in schools, on the safety of school transport, social services, micro-credit, housing policies, the collection door to door.
"I guess sober one year - admits - the limit of austerity." Then there are the mortgage interest expense that "we are trying to shut down and amount to approximately 4 million."
So few events this year, but good and acts to protect religious traditions, music, and the unification of Italy. "I say all this for a city that meets the Pact Stability - the mayor said - and not in a critical situation. "
Then the former commissioner said the Neapolitan maxi maneuver Tremontiana "of 25 million € in the Law 122 of 2010:" The revenue is frozen because of federalism / fees and transfers are only for personnel, services, repayment of loans. The work is not easy to make ends meet. " Fortunately, he adds, "we have 15 million stored in case." In addition to the money stemming from the securitization of the former prison, "was sold at € 3,400,000, 1,300,000 more than the starting price. According to this figure, were provided 2.1 million to remake the building, but we do not know if it really be enough. " 28 million is the revenue involved due to transfers from the state, transfers, building permits, loans from the cash deposits and loans, has made it clear yet Napoletano.
In short, federalism, that is yet to be born, already has its effects even in our community so much as to turn off the taps on strategic areas such as cultural capital (library, theater, events) that should be the driving force for tourism promotion. Otherwise, we wonder who is going to the Bit (International Tourism Exchange) in Milan if you can arrange anything since the next summer?
