Whether the special status is necessary to Petrozavodsk?
Whether the special status is necessary to Petrozavodsk?
On May, 24th this year chamber of republic of Legislative Assembly
Republics the bill "About the status is accepted in the first reading
Republic Kareliya capitals ", brought by the Petrozavodsk city
Council.
The impression makes the specified bill rather
The ambiguous. Petrozavodsk on the legal status -
Municipal union, should submit to the legislation about
Local government. And the local government urged to solve
The problems of local value specified in Law RK "About the local
Self-management in Republic Kareliya ". Simply speaking:
Local governments of Petrozavodsk are created for
Maintenance of normal ability to live large in scales
City republics, instead of for its successful functioning in
Quality of capital of Kareliya. For worthy position of capital should
To respond the state in the name of its legislative and executive
Bodies, instead of the local governments which are not entering in
Government system.
Expecting objections of opponents that Constitutions of Russia and
Our republic fix possibility of transfer of the separate
Powers of the state to local governments, I will notice,
That a legislature of Russia and our republic speak about
Possibilities of such transfer, instead of oblige to do it.
Possibility at the state to assign the powers on
Not state bodies is available. Whether only is in it
Necessity? To whom is such transfer favourable? It is thought, that
Additional loading in the form of performance of the state problems
On Petrosovet and administration of Petrozavodsk it is not called
The slightest shred of necessity.
Not going into detail of a bill, I can notice, that
Powers of self-government institutions of Petrozavodsk on realisation
Functions of capital of Republic are stated it is declarative, in many respects
Duplicate that it is offered to execute to local government in
Force of the law on him.
To public authorities of republic developers
The bill take away a modest role on assistance rendering
To Petrozavodsk in realisation of functions of capital of Kareliya by it. On mine
The sight, all is put upside down. The main negative moment
The bill became, in my opinion, that it provides
Additional financial injections in the budget of Petrozavodsk from
... Fund of financial support of local budgets in the form of 10
Percent from settlement specifications. Such perekachivanie the financial
Means can promote only uncontrolled, no-purpose them
To expenditure local governments of Petrozavodsk. And
Nobody can differentiate:
How much money has left on expenses of a city as capital, and
How much - on performance of direct duties municipal
Education, as concept Petrozavodsk-capital and
Petrozavodsk-city are inseparable. Not speaking about the possible
Abusings from the city power, it is necessary to see, that
To Petrozavodsk concessionary terms to the detriment of another are created
To municipal unions. After all the additional financial
Means over expenses for needs of a city will reduce the sizes of the financial
The help to other cities, villages, republic settlements.
It, in my opinion, obvious display of ambition from the party
Local governments of Petrozavodsk. They it is perfect
Abstract from that the lion's share of charges and
The city accomplishment bears the republican government.
At the expense of means of the budget of republic many are repaired
Administrative and cultural-social buildings, roads in a city.
Pawning in a bill redistribution of financial assets
Fund of support of local budgets to own advantage, Petrosovet not
Thinks of that this fund is formed and at the expense of payments
Territories in it. In Petrozavodsk - the most part of all educational
Institutions, cultural-mass establishments, hotels, which
Receive incomes, including at the expense of inhabitants of republic, instead of
Only its capitals.
I do not exclude, as the authors who have become by subjects of the legislative
Initiatives, and deputies of chamber of the republic, passed the law in
The first reading, pursue the far-reaching aim - to secure
Support of voters of Petrozavodsk on coming in the spring 2002
Year elections. That such attraction of electorate becomes on
The party immoral methods, my colleagues not
Reflect.
Special attention was always given and given to Petrozavodsk
In every respect from the government. Petrosovetu it
There is not enough, he wishes to become the absolute owner of a city,
Being republic capital, having transformed the government
Republics in the assistant in realisation of "most important tasks".
Of one it is deeply convinced: the capital inhabitant should not live
Better the provincial only owing to geographical or
Demographic position.
If the capital of republic also requires the special status, the law
About him should be accepted in such kind, that in him at all
Local governments of Petrozavodsk were mentioned.
The state, as mother of the is obliged to contain capital
The child and not to pass it on soderzhdanie and education
To relatives. Going on a way of an establishment of the special status, everyone
The city of republican value can act as the initiator
The law on its exclusive position in comparison with others
Settlements where there live the same citizens of Kareliya. To
To happiness, it does not occur. It is convinced, that it is impossible to approach with
Double standards to equal subjects - municipal
To educations which are also Petrozavodsk, and Belomorsky area,
And Kostomuksha.
I consider, that there is necessity of giving to Petrozavodsk no special
The status - republic capitals. Article 15 of the Constitution of republic
Proclaims Petrozavodsk capital RK and it is quite enough of it
That at formation of the republican budget
Means to Petrozavodsk as to republic capital were provided.
It is necessary to remove the bill "About the status of capital of Republic
Kareliya "from the further consideration. I think, that inhabitants of Kareliya
Will support this position. However, it would be desirable to know the public
Opinion.
Alexey KOKKOV, the head of self-management Kemi and area, the deputy
The Houses of Representatives of Legislative Assembly of republic.
