Lev Shlosberg: Extra billion for municipalities is not a luxury
Press Release, November 27, 2013
Head of YABLOKO faction in the Legislative Assembly of the Pskov Region Lev Shlosberg proposed amendments to the project of the regional budget. The deputy told the journalists that he was ready to make amendments to the profit tax and individual income tax.
“I think that about a billion roubles in the proposed budget shouldn’t be spent. I propose to give this money to the municipalities by means of redistribution of the income base. This measure will stimulate the municipalities’ economic activity and will raise their responsibility to the citizens. At the moment municipalities don’t have the money to meet their financial obligations”, said Lev Shlosberg.
