Syriza has put itself in the position of attacking city services. From a news report:
Greek mayor Apostolos Kimisis is refusing to hand over local funds to the near-bankrupt state, saying he needs the money to fix roads and maintain the water supply in his small municipality. So far, only two out of 325 mayors across Greece have obeyed a central government decree ordering public entities to lend it their spare cash, the head of the municipalities’ union said. Their reluctance reflects doubts about whether the money will ever come back. The decree to local administrations and other state entities has so far collected only about 600 million euros ($675 million), the government said on Tuesday. It had initially hoped to raise 2.5 billion euros from the measure. http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite1_1_12/05/2015_549950 _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
