Budget Vote
The vote on 2011 budget, is still marked by an extremely tight financial: debt of the city and the fragility of revenue.
On this last point that I insist tonight. That state grants are not up to the needs of the population, we said. As for the endowments of Greater Birmingham, and more particularly, the allocation of community solidarity, it will fall further. In three years, from 2008 to 2011, this decline represents more than 127 000.
At Saint Fons, a quarter of the population is under fifteen years to meet the needs of youth involves considerable outlay. A significant portion of the population is unemployed, which means many needs that the city should consider. And for many of our fellow citizens, the situation is worsening day by day. In
Accordingly, it is not less but more revenue that would be needed. And it is anomalous that this situation is not fully taken into account, both by the state, by Greater Lyon.
With the proposed budget, the municipality has chosen not to shirk its responsibilities vis-à-vis the population and to its priorities, in particular, on solidarity and Youth Awareness. We agree with these choices and we will vote the budget, although we regret any operating savings, taking account of the financial situation of the city.
