Councillor for Economy and Finance of the City of Lorca, Luis Amador, praised the Municipal Budget for 2012 that will be taken to Full Council this morning.

Amador has called the "real budgets, balanced, focused on helping those who are faring worse, and all this without raising taxes. Are the best example of doing more with less."

The mayor stressed that "although the revenue is lower due to the economic crisis, the City Council of Lorca offer residents the same amount of services characterized by the same quality. The shortfall in revenue has no impact on the services they enjoy the Lorca, nor the requirement of additional contributions through taxes. "

Furthermore, "we turn from the budgets in helping people who are faring worse right now. Therefore we will invest 9 million euros, more than 13% of the budget of the City, in social policy and employment promotion . The impact of this amount is higher than in previous Budgets. "

Amador also wanted to point out that "we have more contributions to cover the payment of current expenditures. Thus, 41% of current expenditure is met by local contributions of the Autonomous Region (6.5 million), state (15 million) and European funds (1.75 million), a total of 23'25 million. This means that other governments provide about 253 euros per Lorca, which is achieved by relieving the tax burden to citizens. The Team Mayor Jódar gets more money from other governments for Lorca not have to pay more. "

In another section, Amador stressed that despite the existing economic difficulty "we do not forget investment, which will be made through other means of extra-budgetary funding, without going further Lorca Plan."

The mayor concluded by noting that "this is a real budget and meet the new legal framework that requires budgetary stability. We spend what we enter, neither more nor less: this must be the economic objective of any administration. Guaranteed municipal services, create new services as the Department of Management after the earthquakes, we help neighbors are faring worse, reduce municipal debt and all what we do not ask Lorca more effort and without cost them more. The decline We solve revenue by better managing the money. I repeat, doing more with less. This is the most important budgets that are good for Lorca ".
