The measure would apply to all town councilors of Cehegín
The measure will be proposed at the full City Council by a motion presented by the PSOE.
The socialist candidate to the City of Cehegín, José Rafael Rocamora, undertakes morning during the celebration of the full City Council, to lower his salary as Mayor by 40% during the crisis, a move that qualifies as "sensible and moral in a time of deep crisis and general impoverishment of the municipality. "
In addition to the reduction in the salary of the mayor, who would go from the nearly 50,000 per year to less than 30,000, the measure would also apply to other town councilors, which would lower their fees by 40%.
With this drastic cost-saving measure, which the mayor and the popular group in the City of Cehegín have refused to discuss up to two town meetings, "the City could save about 235,000 euros per year, nearly 40 million pesetas, figures very important for a municipal coffers drag a debt of more than 12 million euros, four times more than 8 years ago.
José Rafael Rocamora said the money "recovered" would serve to help especially those most affected by the crisis, as retirees, disabled, self-employed or farmers Cehegín, for whom the socialist group claiming a rebate for months in various municipal taxes directly affect them, taxes that have doubled since the arrival of the popular mayor of José Soria.
Specifically, the PSOE Cehegín suggests that retirees, disabled and unemployed with a total family income not exceeding 90% of minimum wage and large families with a household income not exceeding 100% of minimum wage, the City will subsidize all taxes as property tax or "seal" of the car, in terms of autonomous states that the council takes over half of the taxes that these workers should pay property tax as the "seal" of the car or administrative fees for opening licensed premises or the granting of planning permission.
Finally, small and medium farmers in the municipality would benefit from the establishment of a moratorium on the payment of Property Tax rustic nature for small and medium farmers Cehegín and also those who in recent years have taken their crops sold.
The money that the City would save to pay their politicians, nearly 40 million pesetas, serve to fully cover all these subsidies to residents of the municipality, which, as says the councilman José Rafael Rocamora, "we managed to produce a true equitable redistribution of municipal resources towards those most in need. "
"Any other way to manage resources, ie the money of all, he adds, is a complete immorality."
