The district of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge is expecting a shortfall of 30 million euros in its budget for the coming year. "The underfunding of the municipal level can no longer be seen as short-term. Rather, a development can be observed here that is becoming permanent," said District Administrator Michael Geisler (CDU).
The citizens rightly expect an efficient administration and a solid infrastructure. "However, expenditure is higher than income, reserves are almost exhausted and the deficit continues to rise."
