PRESENTATION OF 2010 BUDGET FOR MUNICIPAL COUNCILLORS
Lords this evening the Executive Board begins the presentation of Budget 2010, which you are called to discuss, on which you can make suggestions, ask for clarification and explanation, since the ' administrative act most important of the year then you will be asked to approve, considering that most of you is the first time he addresses this topic. ;
while remaining within the limits set by the Government (April 30 ), we are slightly delayed in comparison with single years, but this is due to the problems that the council has met and discussed with the various offices and then to decide certain choices and to meet the increasingly diverse and quote =
diane demands of our citizens, still gripped by a crisis Economic perhaps worse than in 2009.
Unemployment has reached record levels: 8.6% or 2.8 million unemployed, of which about 28% under the age of 30 years and for the most part looking for first job. Only in our province are laid off have doubled in three months, and the unemployed amounted to 23,172.
All this despite the optimism of the national government that continues for months to argue that we have begun to emerge from the crisis, maybe they are coming out of those who used the benefits of the tax shield and certainly 'else, no need of the poor incentives from April 6 the last Council of Ministers has made available to make consumption share. Hopefully!.
I try to explain the guidelines that led to the drafting of budget 2010.
The first thing I can tell you is that the overall increase of approximately 10% of both incoming and outgoing currents of the so-called put-on-year 2009, we imposed drastic cuts for failing to comply with the Stability Pact in 2008 and resulted in penalties, bringing the current expenditure equal to that of 2006, as contained in the trien 2005-2007.
Having complied with the Stability Pact in 2009, for 2010 we had the opportunity to return to the which was our historical spending and do so further action in current expenditure: routine maintenance on the property, transfer of their share of ASP services used by our community in the years 2008-09, full recognition of the fees the administrators (mayor, councilors and advisers) , higher contributions to the integrated education service, then a fund of 70,000 euro crisis in support of our citizens in distress.
With regard to transfers of state revenue will more sull'Ici, first house back in 2008-09, and the properties of category "D" (industrial halls), as agreed between the government and ANCI.
Other major revenues are recorded in the chapters on the dividends of subsidiaries (Sabar and Enia), higher rents always Sabar, and an increase of 4% fee on municipal solid waste (Tarsu) because as of July 1 will be started gathering near the workforce, I remember that last year this tax, because they are already in the presence of the economic crisis, had been reduced by 10%, the only common province.
They were not made to individual service rate increases, (kindergarten, sports facilities in the communal canteen and school bus) that undergo changes in 2007 and the funding, by those who use it about 46%, remember that the home care service from 1 January has been outsourced ASP.
Pure unchanged ICI ordinary rate of 7% is levied on second homes and commercial buildings and vacant land. It also confirmed the additional income tax of 4% on income above € 10,000.
the infrastructure costs if the intervention is terminated Multiplex and related buildings as it is the intention of the builders later this year, we decided to budget for about € 700,000, of which 155,000 already collected. These were used to cover current expenditures, accounting for 20% of the total. They are always very short of capital shares (240,000 euro) to be repaid for those loans in the past and used to make investments.
You will not find the particular investment for public works, but only what we can =
the infrastructure costs will flush occurred. These works are shown at the output of the financial statements of Title 2, postponing the implementation of measures relevant to the use of any surplus by the end of April that administration must be approved by you.
I think the speech should also address compliance with "the internal stability pact" which once again sees the increasingly common problems regardless of their political juntas. (See the planned protest of Mayors Lombardi April 8 in Milan). It 'hard to understand why a common covenant is out only because in 2009, and Walter is one of them, approved the Budget after the "fateful" date of March 10, when the deadline set in law by the government was March 31 . The City Council approved the budget on March 26, respectful of the law and rules which do not account for the purposes of compliance with the agreement, the proceeds from the sale Enia shares, which occurred two years before that in 2007. ; ;
Inexplicably, the Parliament approved with effect back on, the Law No. 33 of April 9, 2009, (defined by the national press "law save Brescia) requiring municipalities that had adopted the 2009 budget after March 10, to recognize as extraordinary revenues from 2007 sales or dividends on securities and thus obtain a desired balance of positive sign as the target for compliance with the pact. This also applies to 2010 and 2011.
; Because "the fateful date of 10 March? Soon said the town of Brescia, a city administered by the center-right, had approved the budget March 10, 2009, and then it could exclude dividends A2A (Enia companies similar to ours), amounting to 65 million euro, the Stability Pact and remain within the required parameters. Decree-law defined by the national press "save Brescia." One explanation I found it: the Mayor of Brescia is a Member of the PDL, the president of the province is in charge of the League, and his deputy also deputy the PDL, all three elected to the House in 2008 and still in Parliament, ready to defend legally, first and foremost the interests of local administrators, and are not the only ones with two hats, but all of the center-right.
I can not remember another "curious" Decree of the Council of Ministers last March, where they are assigned to the City of Rome 80milioni euro for other so-called "fulfillment = Community minds." Others who are not lower profits that ACEA, multi utility Capitoline, paid less in the coffers of the town, having to pay back taxes, in his time as exempt all municipal-owned by decree law, considered aid State against the competition, as set out, years later, by a ruling of the European community. Under the same conditions there are the towns of Turin, Milan, Genoa, Bologna, down to us with the Sabar, all forced to reduce the profits of municipal utilities such as Rome. All this is understandable: arrived in Rome as there are two senators and one deputy commissioners all of the PDL, and is still in Parliament. It continues its policy of aid to municipalities so-called "friends" that is center-right that administrators have increasingly to the right place at the right time, keeping the so-called dual task even though the law forbids it in some cases.
The two episodes described above are to demonstrate how difficult it is to administer the bulls =
public with a central government that continues to grow government spending and tried all means to block the expenditure of local authorities who are able to invest its own resources without recourse to debt.
A confirmation of the above over in 2009 for the first time, we will not have a primary surplus (the difference between the income and expenditure of the State, net of interest on public debt) and
a debt, the highest in the industrialized world, close to 120% of gross domestic product.
Finally point out an important fact: in the 4th quarter in 2009 the total revenue represented 55% of GDP and expenditures of the state have exceeded 59%. The government accounts never as bad since 1996.
(Istat data from the daily La Stampa, 03/04/2010)
This is the country where we talk about federalism at every turn, but also the only country in Europe and perhaps in the world in which municipalities and provinces have not the least fiscal autonomy This is a contradiction that cries out for vengeance to the ongoing promise of the League, which often speaks on the outskirts of the opposition party, forgetting to be the government in Rome "thieving".
