The last issue of the Courier Zwierzyniec, "a local magazine VII District Council, District Council President Andrew Hawranek joined his open letter, which criticizes my willingness to try the liquidation of Krakow's districts. My answer to the Lord President:
Honorable Andrew
Hawranek
Chairman of District VII
In his open letter to residents Zwierzyniec and attached to the issued paper money from the urban district, you accused me of trying to liquidation Krakow's districts and actions to the detriment of locals. Let me respond in a similar form to the Lord's allegations.
never advocated for the removal of the districts. They have a very important consultative role and assist in the management of the city, because as you rightly said, the magistrate can not see the holes in the sidewalks, or the leaking roof in the school building. However, I disagree with you that the task is to carry out repairs districts. Repairs do municipal units from the source of the city of Krakow. Councillors only indicate the most urgent needs. I will not judge, or 4 million zł annually for the maintenance of district councils for the exercise of their advisory role is a lot or a little. Let everyone himself to answer this question.
It is not true that, from year to year decline measures to dispose of council districts. In 2002, when I assumed the presidency on the duties assigned to Krakow's districts have 26 mln zł, and the priority - 9 mln zł. In 2009 - the sentence conferred on districts spent more than 44 million, and the priority - 11 mln zł. You mention that this year's budget is more modest, but please remember that the savings related to the entire city, not just neighborhoods.
You ask, whether the city authorities are watching exactly the same way every million spent on a fountain of gold or a concert, as neighborhoods are watching a buck for repairs sidewalks. For a moment I wondered whether or not to respond to such a populist terms, but out of respect for the people Zwierzyniec answer you - yes, the authorities are watching closely Krakow every penny spent on the new museum, a cultural event, the renewal of the Old Town and attractive public spaces. It is through such activities tourists want to visit us, to recommend to your friends and leave the money in Krakow. And the richer the town, the more you can put on the renovation of sidewalks.
And finally, let me raise another issue. Krakow presidential candidate, issued by the same political party, of which the Lord is a candidate to the Council of the City of Krakow, Krakow, told people how much you benefit from the enlargement of powers of district councils. Well, I had to start the syntax promises by reading the Local Government Law, which establishes a three-step self-government in Poland - at state, county and municipality. The neighborhoods there are no words. Second case, such promises are cheating people, most of which thought that if the council districts will have greater power, it will be easier to get things done for the administration. And that's not necessarily true, because council districts will never be issued identity cards, birth child or register the vehicles. And it is usually in the office we handle.
Dear Mr. President, just like Andrew Hawranek, I strongly encourage you to participate in elections to district councils on Jan. 9, 2011 year. I hope that through your elected representatives will not play in the practice of high politics at the party political signs, but knowing the needs of his district, will support local authorities that led to the district money is not wasted, but contributes to improve the quality of life for residents.
