Reading the Municipal Council's resolution of April 28, 2010 to approve the 2010 budget by our Board, there is the intervention of the Auditor of Accounts, Dr. Joseph ARICO ', "illustrating a favorable opinion and insisting on the need to recover the fees of the past".
for past royalties shall mean all taxes related to previous years the municipality has the right to charge but has not yet done so.
What to ask for money to citizens is a job that nobody wants to do.
's administration does not do it because politically it is expensive and in fact may be harmful to ask users to pay some of the years spent exactly one year from the upcoming municipal elections.
Why the Auditor of Accounts has urged the administration to act on this front?
going round and round to groom some accounts in the budget recently approved it turns out that our town every year of interest charges on loans and various loans amounting to 600 000 €.
each year so our town has to pay € 600 thousand of interest which are taken from the budget or asking the Treasury Department a loan under the heading "cash advance" which is nothing more than asking the bank to lend money to pay interest.
Italy is known is one of the most heavily indebted nations large and it is estimated that every Italian citizen who has already come to light 28 000 € of state debt, while in San Marco we divide 600 by 2145 if it turns out that every aluntino citizen has on their shoulders around 280 €!
economic calculations aside, what deserves to be underlined is the amazing ease and nonchalance with which our common access to loans and mortgages.
Latest in chronological order are the Resolution No. 192 with which we require a loan of € 18,287 for "maintenance SP 160 turns to 'inside the City."
few days after you request another loan of 86,000 € for "maintenance lighting system via Cappuccini, C / Landro, S. Marina, Genovese" , and finally with Resolution No. 190 requesting the loan of € 88,731 for "the construction of public toilets and cemetery."
Mastrota As George would say we can pay for 20 years, every 6 months and all in 40 installments as each loan has a term of 20 years.
Everything in order and in the light of the sun, each bond is authorized by CDP (the cash deposits and loans), and the seal of the auditor's certification.
Resolution No. 189 asking the loan of 34 000 € for " 's work on water mains for fire protection in the Badia.
The propensity of this administration to contract debts does not stop with these examples.
Since 2007, when we are in the midst of pomp and luxury of white nights and the town Neapolitan singers contracted a loan of € 49,000 which will expire in 2017 at a rate of 4.67%.
In 2008, the year of festivals and magnificent fell by maccarruni leads to another loan, this time the interest is 4.12% per annum and is calculated for a refund of 40 000 € ANNUAL with ten-year maturity. All
all certified and approved by the supervisory bodies responsible.
The result is that the available credit limit of each municipality from which to draw upon and borrow in extraordinary events and emergeziali turns out to be empty and unfortunately another landslide paralyzes a road there are very few financial instruments to which recourse.
In times of financial turmoil and economic councils have also had to undergo radical changes in their budgets.
With the new changes introduced by Finance Act will give municipalities more powers to fight tax evasion and the so-called federalism or the possibility of selling state property by the municipality of their properties (actually be forbidden as state property subject to the constraint, ie the State).
on sale of properties last year the municipality has collected 40.000 €, a relatively low figure for a relatively few "rich".
The fight against tax evasion measure is designed to share a percentage of revenue that the municipality can give rise to, a sort of sharing the proceeds discovered by applying the principle: the more common works, and whether tax evasion will have more money .
Not an easy task for any administration, but the time is short and Finance cry. Will the municipalities to create a sort of Debt Recovery Office where you should take to collect the debts that the administration has against third parties?
might be a solution?
many sacrifices in terms of social and political citizens and administrators will be to meet this new standard fiscaltremontiano?
Returning to our entire facility in Aluntina loans and mortgages, leaving the fool we have done before to the media for supposedly bestowed generous advice over the years, it is worth remembering that these loans are a breath of fresh air to our finances over the medium term because it allows investment without which there could have been made.
This means jobs, employment, consumption. In the medium term is good but in the long term?
Can our municipality to bear the weight of 600 000 € per year (in 2009 were € 700,239) of interest?
This money that fail are a lot of turn (or a joke as you prefer): leaving money on interest, money coming in investment and finance.
But the sum is not zero and a balanced budget is only a mirage.
The truth is, then to construct or pave a country road in most lack the money for an emergency, a nursery with staff, a tourism project credible and planned, of facilities capable of supporting the tourism demand, the services to foster and encourage tourists to stay and spend in a 'young entrepreneurs willing to bet on itself, an urban furnished and coordinated between the different operators.
All this is possible with a visionary leadership, we find a ruling class made up of people with experience, which sinks its roots in the political passions of the sections of the party, serious people, fathers of families, experts in their little knowledge of the mechanisms at the regional / provincial level, in order to be able to attract funding in order to woo the power, the ability to establish personal and institutional relationships with the centers of decision-making power.
The banner on which they wrote their own political force was the magic word: Experience, What could we do to the experience which included knowledge, ability to deal with emergencies, head on his shoulders, time, commitment and sacrifice , a network of friends, hooks, Honourable Ministers, ladies and secretaries of Party branches, behind years of administration: experience and funding to rain.
time ago, this new resurgence of the administrative action was called campaign contributions, there is going to vote again and suddenly a painting the railings and poles of electric lighting.
At the same time we are left with mortgages and loans that will be borne on the shoulders of future generations and our budgets squandered.
Certainly not the film that we had been told to shoot in San Marco, so we can all, because it is one thing to administer debts by another administrator having debts.
It is believed that those who come after will pay as we have always done before or then when you sign a bill ending the vacancy and the deadline arrives!
Maybe in their heart, you are no longer safe to be there again and here 's administration are behaving like Saddam Hussein's burning oil wells before the' invasion of the Americans ...
