Kate Playground How Old

The Mayor's car

We call the mayor regularly on the car that gives it its municipal majority. At the last council, we had to answer for the less singular. This article summarizes the facts, figures and the law.

"This car is a benefit in kind of EUR 500 monthly" : True and False ...
The new car (C5), bought 29,900 euros excluding tax, if stored 5 years, will cost although 500 euros per month (if you do not take into account fuel, maintenance, insurance and driver). It's better than the 1330 euros per month for the mayor spent the previous car (a 607) for two years (3282.96 euros per quarter, plus 5871.92 euros cancellation fee), in 2009 and 2010.

"As mayor, I only get 632 euros net monthly" : True but ...
one hand, this argument does not justify the fact that the mayor has a city car available, but second and especially the 632 euro monthly just perfectly complement the maximum compensation to which they are entitled. As a reminder, these amounted to 2757.34 euros in addition to allowances of the member. When we add up the salaries of SIVOM LMCU and mayor of Lambeth, the account is good. (1)

"Mrs Smith, if you do not want the service directors receive a company car, you should not ask me for a while you were employed at the town hall" : Forgery and True False
... because we have never asked that department heads have no car or service (in addition we would like cars, there are a few bikes, but it another debate ...). It's just the Mayor's car that we question.
True, because Th Dupont (DGAS) has prepared a 106 Peugeot from December 1997, purchased second-hand (first release on 08/03/1996). This car was not a company car but a car service, put away home and left the parking lot in case of absence. This car was also set to provide services which she had borne, and was of course never used on weekends or holidays. She kept the same car until his retirement in late 2007.

"I often travel in Paris, where I back subsidies for the city ": True, but not as mayor of Lambeth.
We know ( the "Petit Journal" Canal Plus it regularly reports ) that MP Daubresse attending the press conference of the UMP in Paris on Monday morning. The Lambersartois have to pay for the number 2 of the UMP could get on television?
MP MP Daubresse regularly goes to the National Assembly in Paris. To do this, as all members, it has a card to travel by train, first class, without limit. Then, from Gare du Nord to the Assembly, it can take a taxi and be reimbursed for expenses. Moreover, in addition to compensation, he receives "fresh mandate" at its disposal as it sees fit, up to 6412 euros a month, which does not obviously allow him to buy a car.

"Ambition for Lambeth" is only concerned about the expenditure of public money!
In fact, other than we were interested in the subject. Let us mention the
Regional Chamber of Auditors of the Nord-Pas de Calais, which, in its comments on the Common Cross in 2002, recalls the jurisprudence of company car, benefits in kind "self-arrogated" by some Mayors: "The General Code of Local Authorities do not provide for the allocation of official cars to the local executive ( ...), as well, the ministerial circular of 15 April 1992 as exercises on local mandates, does not recognize the possibility for local assemblies, assign official cars to their elected officials, it only organizes support of travel expenses.
We include the response (of the Minister of Interior) to the written question to the Senate (EQ 01308 of September 27, 2007 ): "In accordance with a principle laid down by law and regularly reminded by the Council of State, local elected positions are free. Any derogation to this principle, whether for compensation or benefits in kind, should therefore be provided by an express provision, the scope of which is strictly interpreted (EC May 4, 1934, Union of Taxpayers Borough of Aix-en-Provence, Rec. p. 528; more recently, July 21, 2006, Common Boulogne-sur-Mer; EC July 27, 2005, Mr. Millon). However, the award by a community a company car to a mayor or a deputy being provided by any text, the resolution in question therefore liable to cancellation by the administrative judge. This irregularity may also be reported by the regional chamber of accounts, as part of its supervisory powers of the quality and consistency of management. As judge of the accounts, that court may otherwise be required to apply for reimbursement of overpaid benefits. By cons, there is no reason why local executives make use of a vehicle to service the community is with dedicated, driven by themselves or by a driver, provided that this is strictly justified by the exercise of municipal functions. "Let each

reaches its opinion! Ours is known, and will be repeated when necessary and when the public interest comes after interest, we respond!

(1): Recall that the opposition councilors, claiming they have no delegation (meaning: "they do not perform actual work for Lambeth), do not benefit from compensation.

My Wife Does Not Bathe

City Council February 16, 2011 The big difference

the menu of this council, we are offered both parties.
Part One: The budget orientation debate (or DOB)
After a briefing by Mr. Caudron, Finance Assistant (in short: in a difficult environment, Lambeth is doing excellently, everything is under control and controlled. Note that this is generally the speech of Deputy Finance in all municipalities, regardless of political color ...) we made our contribution. We actons that margins for maneuver are low, that borrowing is inevitable, and he will have to tighten their belts. Our comments focused cause interesting reactions:
No information on the CCAS (2 million grant last year, anyway): Mr. Caudron said our good faith and transparency on the subject. It's so transparent it will seek in vain in the documents submitted to this council, any reference to that body.
no information about the AGEMLAM (300 000 euros in grants last year, anyway): Mr. Caudron contends that we are in bad faith, that speaks to each council. We talk so, we talked about it again today, saying "I do not prejudge anything at this time" (Mr Caudron). We are now well advanced for debate.
2% increase in base is more than the 1.8% inflation: Mr Mayor reminds us that the municipal program urged him not to raise rates (subtle but important). What we say then? "Thank you, Mr. Mayor." Our suggestion to lower the rate of 0.2% is rejected out of hand. It's a shame: 0.2% is less than the cost of the "great vows," and, hence, remains Lambeth the city of the metropolis with the highest rates. But those who say this are demagogues, it is well known ...
All our work on the BOD by clicking here.

Part II: Classical council, more technical ( to see our votes on all the discussions, click here ).
We select three winks:
delinquency decline, the clearance rate increases! We welcome all. It is without doubt the announcement of the upcoming implementation of CCTV cameras that has driven our city's most skilled thieves, the latter being not yet operational.
What courage (or recklessness) he took the editor of deliberation on the work at City Hall! Dare write about this symbol that is the town hall: "This project aims to restructure the space age today, no real character and where different municipal activities have developed over the years without any real global thinking. ! We fully agree with this finding. We therefore voted with both hands this deliberation. The cost

the "great vows"
-see our oral question here - (more than 40,000 euros, 22,000 for decoration) and the acquisition of the Mayor's car (29900 euros excluding taxes) we have problems . We will return in another article on the Mayor's response ("As mayor, I have a net salary of 632 euros per month, this fringe benefit costs 500 euros monthly to the community") on this last point.

In this current issue, the mayor confirmed that he had told the press on February 12, namely its commitment to "do everything possible to limit the closing of classes to ... Lambeth, inviting to Moreover, the mayors of town to "do so" (Voice of the North February 12, 2011). Hard to be both mayor and member number 2 of the UMP when the interests of citizens are opposed to government guidelines. At the National Assembly, the member has agreed to vote according to "beliefs, as always."

Dunk Tank Friends Family

Bravo!

Bravo for the festival concert films. " The idea of projecting classic silent films accompanied by live musicians, is an excellent idea.
films chosen (the first animated films to Charlot, passing by Louis Feuillade and Jacques Feyder) and accompanying music were excellent. The music was forgotten, reflecting the accuracy and relevance of its performers. The participation of young dancers at the cultural center of the Canon Gold has made a local touch, again quality to the festival.
We understand that it would be perpetuated. If the quality remains, and if finances permit, we applaud again next year! Everyone has finally realized the need to offer at this event, a room worthy of its quality, the future will be promising.

Day after day, year after year the corpus Leonardian enriched.

is the case for sculpture, for example. With two terracottas, one in a church the other in private hands, sees Leonardo able to defend his beliefs outlined in Paragon. We do not know sculptor, he could be accused of bad faith even.

iconography is also, with successive versions of the Virgin of the Rocks. And they bring us to a questioning of Scripture or not.

His entourage also enlarges, his studio is gaining importance, his followers also As a discovery, such as Madonna Laroque. Who is the master of this Madonna?

Each discovery also allows us to break into the myth, to establish a profile much less mysterious, more human, closer to us. Its origins, for example: a mother slave from the Middle East. The 1001 one night ;-)

A new page of writing, a new design are not necessarily events.
Separating the chaff from the chaff is not easy, it may take another discovery to evaluate the increase or decrease the previous one.

Telephone Line Disconnection Letter

La Voix du Nord Lambeth: the voice of the Mayor?

What the blog of the municipal majority repeats the mantras of the Mayor of Lambeth, we understand its function is displayed. What
local journalists repeated without any critical the "truths" of even bothers us a lot. We find
pell-mell this past week:
- "The first digit of the location of CCTV cameras in Marcq are encouraging, although it is still too early to draw conclusions," says Daubresse. While the cameras come to Lambeth, this is a "confidence livery" which is great, no? (VDN, 28 January). It will be appreciated
"CCTV" politically incorrect, but we would have liked was the major difference between reported and Marcq Lambeth. In one of the cities, the camera images are viewed live by two municipal police officers in the other, they are saved ...
- "However, to avoid having too many projects simultaneously, work on the redevelopment of Republic Square are deferred (January 31 Vdn)
is of course for the tranquility of the inhabitants this work are shown in no case does wonders for a postponement of any difficulties in financing the work.
-In the same article, talk of the EPAHD (Ets Hosting for Dependent Elderly Persons)-topic each greeting ceremony, and the city-magazine, which will be located in the city center, rather than the 7th district, to avoid to remove the elderly from the center, so they can have access to shops and services, to avoid the "ghettoized" (but together in one place Beguine, nursing homes and EPAHD, what is it then ?). When
is found there in a critical editorial explaining that EPAHD supports people "dependent", by definition, which unfortunately can not therefore leave the institution, or even their room without be accompanied? And they will not go do not shop at the grocery store?
-Sunday, January 30, revelation: "The Mayor of Lambeth, who likes to think aloud about the future of his city, sees a bit bigger. "What is missing in the metropolis, it is a room of 2,000 people" was launched this week Marc-Philippe Daubresse [...]. And where might that be? In the future 7th district, of course, "
is what we proposed a year ago on our blog, which we had brought ridicule moult ... (read here )
We dare to think that our journalists have lost their critical faculties. We dare suggest that advertising pages purchased by the city (Lambeth-range, silent film festival) muzzling their ethics. We dare to think they are not interested in ideas of the various components of municipal life.
they are reassured, however. This article demonstrates the attention that we bring to their writings. And we will continue to read with great interest. And with a critical sense.

How Many Calories Are In Halal Food?

Business class, economy class, checked

Numerous ceremonies were completed greeting. This was an opportunity for some VIP Lambersartois to tourism over Lambeth aboard the company "Lambeth Airlines' specially chartered for these communication operations.
Boarding pass for the "lifeblood", cardboard for the "wishes of neighborhood," we've represented.
Thursday evening last, the wishes of district Canon Golden / Field Course we sat in second place! Shocking! "The opposition has moved into the top ranks" have we heard clearly. How daring is not it! This may cause problems for the pictures of the event. We could see some unusual head in the municipal magazine! But what a lack of courtesy on the part of some members of the crew and to mark his distance with respect to other elected! Sorry, we were not informed that we had to slip into the bunker! Note however
courtesy of the Deputy Assistant to the neighborhood, Ms. Angot, who strongly encouraged us to sit in the front row, as elected representatives of the neighborhood. We refused, for compliance with the protocol, leaving the senior assistants present.
We are used by council, to speak to the mayor behind a "wall" of heads, which is not very convenient to discuss, except to stand up. This should reassure some human barrier, because we having promised at the start of term we change the ordering of tables, this is still nothing after three years. It should not shock anyone, probably.
