In this case there are numerous actions undertaken in education, health, social services, etc.
In this situation, the full City Council has requested from the state fund for 2010-worth 5,000 million-is intended amounts sufficient to fund these services so that "you can correct the plight of the municipalities.
According to House this proposal comes at a very appropriate time before the government announced that the nation "does not know anything about the local funding to 2011.
On the contrary, in his opinion "can not set aside a reality as the administration closer to citizens is the one that is suffering the economic crisis."
