Investing public funds to play the Lotto and transform, if you win, your local city into a paradise where people do not pay taxes: This is the original bet Antonio Ament, the mayor's center-Melito in Naples. "I want to transform my small town in Monaco, where everyone can happily save their money," so
(debut) when Ament
yesterday (give) notice his idea. The decision on the measure
(be) approved by the council on Tuesday 31 and 'betting municipal elections
(from) the following Thursday. Each week
(come) played five euro for each episode. Since you can play three times a week, the weekly budget invested
(being) of 15 €.
Yeah, because the mayor intends to play forever without miss a single extraction. "In total
(calcorare - us) that, with this system,
(spend - us) about 1000 € per year. Let's start this year but
(go - us) in perpetuity. My administration is winning and I'm sure
(win - we) also on the Lotto, "says Ament. If you win the money will be used, as mentioned before, to eliminate local taxes.
residents, according to the mayor seem to like the initiative: "I know I'm the first in Italy to thinking. Just because it's so original,
(do - us) a survey among the citizens and the idea appeals to everyone. "
But which items of the municipal budget are taken money to play? The mayor explained that he considered the reserve funds: "This year we are one of the few municipalities to have closed its budget in surplus, the precision with a surplus of 250,000 euro. These resources we use for our reserve fund and that is where
(draw - us). "
The idea comes very easily, "recently - said the first citizen - listening to the news I heard a big win on the Lotto. Immediately
(think) that all these millions of euro, if they were going to solve many common problems. " Ament is enthusiastic and does not intend to wait for approval of the resolution: "Losing time means missing draws and as many chances to win. Therefore, in the meantime
(playing) with my salary and, if
(win), the proceeds
(go) to the municipality. "
