The President OF the Rēzekne District Council evaluates THE budget OF Monvīds Švarcs positively: “the local government budget is planned to maximise the resources to provide services to all local government residents. On the one hand, the income tax is increasing every year, which shows that there are employment in rural areas and people receive wages, but at the same time it must be understood that expenditure is increasing every year. It is necessary to fulfil the requirements for increasing the minimum wage and, consequently, for wage differentiation, which requires major tasks.
We have used all possibilities in addition to funding for the realization of our projects. The major projects are the construction of industrial and rural roads, but unfortunately in other programmes we cannot be involved because cities and framework programmes are being implemented in the main projects. We have a reasonable worry because the fields are too small.
In view of the development of tax policies and the development of the local government financial equalisation system, rural municipalities should focus increasingly on reducing the share of administrative expenditure in their budgets. Work on this is ongoing, but the main objective is not to tolerate the quality and quantity of services provided by the local government so that the person goes to the nearest parish administration building and receives the same services that have been received so far.
We continue socio-economic progress, realise business support with the support of the LEARN Foundation (“Rural Economy for Rēzekne District”), focusing on young people, so that they can understand how entrepreneurship is formed from the school bench.
But we don't forget about the preservation of Latvian cultural heritage, which is particularly topical for the celebration of songs and the anniversary of Latvia. I wish to pay attention not to the celebrations, but to have a pleasant sense of festival in the course of my work.
Thanks to all those who participated in budgeting to achieve our objectives, active participation of the population is of great importance. '
