Therefore this year the municipal coffers of the state receive compensation greater than in the previous year, reaching the 12.4 million for this purpose. Without this confirmation had to do a calculation based on the income actually received Lorca collected from last year. "

"The budget we present today are the best I could do with the money that is coming now in the municipal coffers. Let overburdening the gum, but with the assurance that they will break. Proof of this is that so far this year we have been working with a forecast of a budget of just less than what we have and we have to pay all debt to suppliers without reducing benefits to citizens, "the mayor stressed.
Luis Amador stressed that "the savings in the budget is mainly achieved by reducing current expenditure, with measures taken this year and put out to tender the contract mobile addition of parks and gardens, renegotiate rents and property machinery, and even eliminate some of them with measures such as relocating the headquarters of the Department of Women to CLD, and reduce contributions to local businesses as Limusa, thanks to good management that you will be made having to pay this year € 300,000 less for the cleaning of public roads and municipal buildings, maintaining the quality of service.
