Open letter to the Mayor of Pistoia and the City Council
It 's really shocking that an administration center - left in a situation as critical as the present one, where a strong effort and downsizing are unable to provide essential services for citizens, with the risk that some of these in a not too distant future will be even suppressed, finds funding to reward its leaders, who have simply done their job already receiving a substantial salary.
's a choice because inappropriate and inconsistent with respect to the explosion of social problems due to the period of economic crisis, all contracting with the suppression of ICI, including the Municipality of Pistoia, complain of a lower volume of revenue and transfer of funds from central government. That there are no funds to finance services for the community, but which, however, are to "reward" in a very questionable their leaders.
I would like to present to the Mayor and City Council of Pistoia a serious social problem and lack of adequate services that we can find in our city, of which I mention only to summarize a few examples:
- Many people who have lost their jobs and a mortgage to pay rent or have been excluded for lack of funds from municipal rankings for the allocation of financial support. It is expected in the coming months an increase in such requests.
- Many elderly people with economic problems, no longer independent, who require care and assistance and support received by the municipality as a cover for the expenses of a carer, was informed by the social service as early as September will no longer be guaranteed them this support.
- In the so-called neighborhoods at risk, as the district of the furnaces, there are now many situations of social exclusion and also from any minor deviance, which would need to accompany specific projects and educational work, but they are not taken into account by the city for lack of funds.
- Even the service of the School until late August, many families did not know whether he would be guaranteed. For this year has again been granted but is not sure it will be activated the next school year.
- Many maintenance works necessary to the villages of our city is now a fact that is left to the goodwill of pro - on site or villagers committees, because the municipal districts are virtually absent.
- For many families the housing aspect is a huge problem for this situation and many families do not receive sufficient supports from social services. Not to mention of who was staying at the dormitory town and that it is now closed for work it had to somehow arrange themselves by making their situation even more precarious.
There is also another aspect that the choice of this administration in some ways reinforce, and that is precisely to consider those who perform exceptionally just their work, in addition, as mentioned at the beginning, when stakeholders already levy a substantial salary. Not getting into the specific work of the individual officers, it would be interesting to understand the judging criteria on which the evaluation group conferring these awards. Compared for example to officials who were also awarded, covering the role of secretariat and legal contacts and the business, how do you plan to reach the goals that those who hold these positions and then later to express an opinion on evaluation As expected and what was actually achieved?
would wonder if Mr. Mayor for the core evaluation gives these awards is included as one of many indicators such as the degree of citizen satisfaction, because if they did find it strange, even the economic recognition to the following officials:
-Urabanistica and ass. the area (it seems to me quite clear from even a few protest signs exhibited by the people that perhaps the management of this area of \u200b\u200bintervention is not fully appreciate or do not enjoy the part of the special gratitude of Pistoia);
- Development statement. (It is almost to smile thinking of many companies that are closing. I do not think the City Council, for its part, has introduced the design skills that can lead to a counter to that then you are having a real industrial decline)
Education and Training. (Recognizing that there were no direct responsibility in the case of nursery private Chip n 'Dale from the communal administration, the fact remains that asylum from the latter has received accreditation and is perhaps fair to say that at least something did not work in terms of controls and inspections. I do not think that even here the conditions are there for a special recognition)
