The SPÖ Landtag Club Burgenland starts with the municipal representative association (GVV), the city association and the 96 mayors and mayors in the seven districts an information campaign that is intended to provide information about the population about the municipal package. The topic of “community package”, especially the sale of the Burgenland waste association (BMV), has rocked up this week with the board meeting of the BMV or the presentation of the evaluation report. Above all, the ÖVP tries to unsettle people in Burgenland with populist agitation and thus continues to block an urgently needed and sustainable solution for our 171 municipalities. “There are a few in the ÖVP who want to profile themselves politically at the expense of the Burgenlanders, which is also increasingly important within the People’s Party. Without the municipal relief package of EUR 350 million from Governor Doskozil, our municipalities will have to dismiss personnel, further increase fees and screw it back or to delete investments, the ÖVP is still from August 31, which can still be prevented Still time, ”says SPÖ club chairman Roland Fürst.
GVV wants to continue negotiating
The mayor of Neutal and GVV Burgenland President Erich Trummer in favor of a serious, constructive and objective continued further negotiation and has also recently handed over his own position paper: “The community package from our governor is a very important step to get our communities in life. But we also have to fully support the federal government Stay on it, because the Burgenland still has the slightest earnings shares here.
District Association hopes for agreement
The chairman of the city association in Burgenland, Mayor of Neusiedl am See Elisabeth Böhm, wants to continue to discuss at eye level: “The community package of governor Doskozil is without alternative and future -oriented. It is about the people in Burgenland and the ÖVP should not be closed.
Parishes “go out”
For SPÖ municipal spokesman and mayor of Schattendorf Thomas Hoffmann, the time has come to take reason: “The economic data is and will not remain rosy. The earnings shares will not rise. If we do not help the municipalities now at the latest at the latest for Christmas. The ÖVP tip of the municipal package, because this is the only way we can survive communities! ” The mayor from Purbach am See Harald Neumayer hits the same notch: “I am a former building contractor and know what it means to get orders from communities. If that fails, the fun is just as bad. The situation for the congregations is just as bad. We cannot make any investments on the part of the community. Come.
Party policy games have to end
The SPÖ district chairman of Jennersdorf and Mayor of Mühlgraben Fabio half sees no disadvantage when the Burgenland waste association is on the country: “The waste disposal is a general interest. The municipalities have no disadvantages when the waste association goes to the country. Something like this has to stay in public hands, because nobody wants conditions as in many other countries. The garbage association is adopted.
Transparency of the ÖVP
The mayor of Neustift at Güssing and BMV board member Franz Kazinata are not entirely clear: “The presentation of the evaluation report on Monday was surprisingly in two directions, on the one hand the evaluation with EUR 165 million and on the other hand the evaluation with more than 300 million euros should be sold to a private investor. I decide such games on the back of the population.
Future of the garbage association
The mayor of Kemetet and also BMV board member Wolfgang Koller does not see good future prospects when the waste association has remained: “The evaluation of the Burgenland waste association through the independent auditing of the Ernst & Young company has shown one thing: If the association is continued as before, then in a few years he could only go to the insolvency in a few years. and that at the expense of the population.
Community package in detail
The state offered 100 million euros for the takeover of the Burgenland waste association or the environmental service Burgenland GmbH. In the form of an immediate measure, this sum should flow as a one -off payment this year in order to quickly strengthen the liquidity of all communities. Conversely, this would also ensure that there is an economic counterweight to the entire transaction volume – also in order to be able to map the country’s corresponding borrowing. Furthermore, the following structural measures with a total extent of EUR 253 million should be anchored in the next 10 years:
-
Reduction of the state levy by a total of 15 million euros per year
-
Increase in personnel cost funding for childcare by EUR 7 million per year
-
Participation of the municipalities in a planned nationwide tax for pollutant trucks of EUR 1.7 million per year
-
Accepting the costs for the municipalities for the expansion of the emergency services in the amount of 1.5 per year
