Threats of lawsuits and hot controversies in Stintino , where in June the new mayor Rita Vallebella defeated the challenger Angelo Schiaffino , deputy mayor for years in the past legislature. The object of the dispute is the resolution of the Council no. 64 of 08.10.2022, the one on the compensation of the directors and of the mayor in particular, which in practice is doubled and goes from 1,300 gross monthly to 2,600 euros.
The provision in turn incorporates a resolution of the Regional Council (n.18-74 of 10-6-2022) which offers the possibility of increasing the indemnities to the mayors and administrators of Sardinia , with the transfer of restricted funds. There are several municipalities that have renounced the increase, with the most varied reasons, such as the municipality of Sassari. Obviously, a doubling of the function allowance, such as that of the mayor of Stintino, moreover at the beginning of the mandate, could not go unnoticed. To light the fuse the group leader of the minority in the City Council Angelo Schiaffino (group Steps forward).
"An unpleasant and inappropriate provision at a time of great suffering for the families of Stintino - explains Schiaffino - A total of 30,000 euros a year and 150,000 for the entire mandate. They will be reconfirmed in the next few years. The deed was also approved quietly, in the silence of August. No press release or even on social media from the Administration. In the face of transparency . At the limit - he concludes - no one forbade the council to pay these shares on the municipal coffers with an accounting deed ".
Today the piqued replica of the mayor Rita Vallebella. "My dedication to the cause is complete and I am giving up several emoluments in my profession as a lawyer - says the mayor -. The resolution on the indemnity is therefore legitimate , in fact it incorporates regional and national laws and directives. But above all I want to clarify one aspect : the municipality of Stintino does not put a single euro of its own resources. On this point - he concludes - I am considering complaining to those who are instead asserting the exact opposite, just to discredit this administration ".
