Next spring, few remember that the vote will go in Lombardy, Milan and other major municipalities as well as Varese, Busto Arsizio, Gallarate, Treviglio, including the provinces of Mantua and Pavia .
In the recent debate on federalism, the role of municipal provinces were discussed only marginally. The issue is not surprising, since if we assume the local finance, as do eminent scholars of local government, as the litmus test to gauge the degree autonomy of the provinces, the conclusion is pretty obvious. We say that the autonomy of the provinces is virtually non-existent.
coastal provinces, today, about 14 billion € and 160 € per year per citizen. The expenditure is only partially offset by tax revenue (Rc Cars, transcript fee and additional energy), equal 3750 € 000 (approx). More than 61,000 employees and 4,207 among presidents, vice, advisors and counselors complete the picture of the costs.
have justified the cost of a body with limited powers? Others see in the abolition of the provinces an indispensable way to reduce the cost of the policy. Not all I agree.
The province does not have many skills ( organizes and conducts training courses, oversees the Employment Centres, manages the suburban public transport, promoting the territory and the road system and the system of public education top and a little more). In Lombardy the recent regional law last December awarded the management of the water network of municipalities to the provinces, moving from a supra-municipal plan to the central issue as that of the public management of water.
Since the Northern League is in government, the provinces that were object of arrows a day in and day were no longer questioned. The presence of the Northern League party in central government and devolved administrations in this regard was no reason to surrender to revise the role if not to abolish them. Since the president of UPA has been elected the League's president of the province of Varese Dario Galli, has even gone to weave the apologia of the province '.
The administrative issue is therefore confirmed as a problem of distribution of power and an unresolved Italian democracy. However tackling the knot today there are issues related to regional policies that should be coordinated. Perhaps the administrative boundaries of the former provinces no longer meet the needs of programming and functioning effectively, but it is not the only province that are deleted by removing the waste as was pointed out the President of CENSIS Giuseppe De Rita in a conference sponsored by the Center Romagnosi on "Development of the country and making the system of territorial diversity." On 21 January 2010, about a year ago, Aula Foscolo University of Pavia.
If anything, therefore, is to shift the power in a coherent and economically viable, as well as effective. It is not the administrative boundaries which may prevent the goods to travel, students move in search of better training, not to mention the territorial autonomy can not be anarchy, no programming.
For those who are about to go to the polls next spring, the problem is to provide solutions to the problems of homogeneous territorial areas, in the logic of re-activating the growth of those who until recently were called industrial districts, raise Employment and explain what is meant by sustainable development everyone is talking about. Mantua and Pavia are two areas that could be an interesting experiment in this respect.
