Duties in the cities rise
Knappe coffers of the municipalities are nothing new but the results of the recent survey of mayors and community leaders give cause for concern. 84 percent of the local governments want according to the study to increase their fees and taxes or introduce new fees. 60 percent plan to cut municipal services. This resulted in a study by the consulting firm Ernst & Young. Of the 300 municipalities surveyed every three declared to present a balanced budget. For 2011, they expect, if at all, only with a slight relaxation. A large majority (68 percent) referred to their own financial situation as poor or very poor. The national associations of local authorities expect this year a total of a shortfall in the funds of up to 15 billion euros. The study found that local governments want (31 percent) and Jugendund senior care cutbacks, especially in the areas of street lighting (29 percent). In many bathrooms would also be closed (14 percent) or there will be limitations in the transport program or at the daycare center opening times (each eleven percent). Additional revenue expected to be generated by local fees Relationship way raising taxes. Almost every other municipality (46 percent) plan to increase the property tax levy rate. Also during the visit of baths, theaters and museums in future higher prices will be paid in 44 percent of the municipalities. The daycare fees air jordan 4 for sale will increase about one in three municipalities (32 percent), as many plan to increase the tax on dogs. Mayor and Treasurer currently scour their budgets in all areas on potential savings, said Hans Peter Busson, a partner at Ernst & Young. This will be painful for the population, but another solution does not exist, because the debt of most municipalities is already too high. After Bussons assessment, the development will exacerbate: Still scare many municipalities from too deep cuts in municipal services back and restrict themselves to easy to turn on the fees screw. In future, should the municipalities but also take tougher action in the eye. So would need to be adapted to the population development in many regions, the public institutions. This could also mean reducing services significantly modified or removed. According to the study remain urgently needed investment on the track because of financial problems. Thus, 68 percent of local authorities that they are currently stretch maintenance measures for roads and buildings. 61 percent reduce new investment in road construction and urban development. In plain language this means, in need of renovation roads are only provisionally repaired or maintained school buildings inadequately repaired. While the revenue for the time being continue to fall, the local authorities are also faced with higher spending. In particular, the social spending will hit new record highs from the perspective of cities and towns: 73 percent of local authorities expect a further increase expected only three percent with declining spending. The financial situation of the German communities is catastrophic, Busson summarized the outcome of the study. Many German cities are basically bankrupt, You are the sovereign debt crisis can not solve on their own. A sustainable reform of municipal finances is therefore urgently needed. According ways out of the crisis is currently seeking a local government commission. In good times, throw money increase by debiting the citizen in bad times revenue. In a few years we will be allowed to nibble back to the symptoms at the latest, the cause of which we are presenting today! And hopefully the air jordan 12 sale citizens will not fly at some point the leases around the ears, the municipalities have completed with unimaginable risks! There are funds that burned until the fire goes out! Stuttgart new station under houses, Hamburg with the perennial issue of Elbe Philharmonic Hall and a new light rail construction site with a KM price of 19 million! But then closing bathrooms and youth facilities etc. Well, then go to the Kids in the areas where now banned KITAS court. And the citizens is only the bleating? Nope, but seasoned people do not want the parties no party because it would jeopardize the benefice as a newcomer to the old post holders. It only remains to establish a new party but watch that will need to be protected certainly above a certain size to creepage! Allen a refreshing shower tonight in the pool or at home! I thought how had lived beyond our means? but how is this going to be saved if everything is getting more expensive? The dog, the child, the swimming pool and going to the car body? I can guess what lies behind this policy: one wants to avoid overspending as citizens called it 'no' dog, child, swimming pool and car. As I lie with my wife (DINC) all the rage! But what I think is: we do not have a TV for years. But have to pay the household tax as of 2013. Whether the day comes where we have to pay car tax, KiKa fees and dog tax, even though we have nothing so the hat? now everyone has times scolded. Previously, you could hand in a fist in my pocket, so the forum is seen here pocket 2.0. Now change by grumble nothing. Sure you can try to avoid spending, for example, by not using the pool visit. The fact that this can not work (the financial needs of the cities will then be satisfied otherwise) is obvious. The solution may consist in my view, only in an active influence on politics. I myself, a member of the Pirate Party will continue to try 'my party' to gain more influence. In the hope that 'unspent reason' feeding.
