WHICH FACILITIES SHOULD RECEIVE MONEY FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES?
It goes without saying that each citizen pays such a large amount of money in order to finance
public services. Many people claim that !money!collected!from!taxes!is!not!used!properly, and
most of them are convinced that they would manage it better. However, this is not an easy task
since there are quite many facilities that need this financing.
Personally speaking, I can’t agree more with those who consider that green spaces have a positive
impact on society. Firstly, it contributes to the reduction of pollution, and moreover, encourages
people to develop healthy habits such as going for a walk or doing exercise. In other words, due
to the fact that public parks or gardens are beneficial for people’s health, from my point of view
they must receive money from local authorities.
With regards to museums, even thought some people believe that they are not as popular as
other services, we must be conscious that the more museums or expositions a city has, the more
culture will be promoted. At the same time, lots of tourists can be attracted with them, for
example, millions of foreigns come to Madrid each year to visit Prado’s Museums, and
consequently they will spend some money in our country.
Given this points we reach to the conclusion that even though there are so many facilities
deserving of receiving this financing, economic sources are limited and we have to do a balance
to decide which of them must receive it.
