“We do the work, are also liable for false bookings, but the financial compensation is too low!” There is criticism of mayors. Only the shareholders of Post -G Comfort more than 123 million euros in dividends.
“We can no longer pay ourselves!” More and more mayors are forced to set the red pencil on the board of their hometown. The act of despair is based on a simple calculation: the bottom line is that many more expenses get considerably less income. The prospects are anything but rosy: according to predictions of municipal finances, the reductions in the coming years are inevitable without countermeasures.
“Valuable services for citizens”
Mayor over the political camps break the head where you can also save. Post AG is now being criticized. Where in the past there was for the population in all pension regions, only post partners who are operated by private providers or the municipalities that are often found today are found. “We fulfill valuable services for our citizens, but the compensation is in no way a relationship with the actual costs we incur,” said mayor and head of the head.
Hoffmann: “Continue” Burgers’ service “
The municipal spokesperson and mayor of Spö in Bestendorf, Thomas Hoffmann, is increasing heavy weapons. “With us, despite the annual deficits of around 35,000 euros, we have to maintain the” civil service “because the population rightly presupposes the benefits of postal and money transactions in the house,” he says. This expectation is understandable for him, but the conditions under which the municipalities offer this offer are unreasonable, Hoffmann takes the floor for many counterparts.
Liability for incorrect bookings that may occur lies on the shoulders of the municipalities. “Printing the mail with tax money” “It is unacceptable that our employees are not trained for money transactions and, if they pay, the authenticity of banknotes cannot digitally check what is standard, even at gas stations,” Hoffmann criticizes.
Reform is required
He accuses the former government of ÖVP-FPö to carry out privatization in 2006 that seriously limited the availability of public services. Now the decision was made to release more than 123 million euros to the shareholders of Post AG. “These are profit that, to a large extent, completes communities with tax money – bizarre,” said Hoffmann. Reform required!
