The increase in Tari in Quartucciu continues to inflame the political debate. The opposition accuses the council of deceiving citizens , arguing that the increase in the tax will not translate into an improved service , since the new service will only start in September. The leader of the mixed group, Franco Paderi, criticizes the fact that the increase in Tari does not reflect the actual service provided up to that point and argues that the tax should be proportionate only to the months of active service . "We have asked citizens for sacrifices without the promised improvement being visible yet," he says. Furthermore, the opposition complains that regional rewards for virtuous waste management have not been recognized and that the revenues from the sale of packaging have not been redistributed.
There is concern among their benches about how the sums paid for a service that has not yet started are being used, suggesting that they could be used for clean-ups, and accusing the Municipality of not adequately addressing the problem of waste abandonment. The Councilor for the Budget, Carlo Secci, defends the actions of the Municipality, explaining that the increase reflects the real costs of the service, including disposal and clean-up of landfills, and does not contain calculation errors. Secci emphasizes that the cost was distributed in compliance with the rules and that the increase is inevitable due to exogenous factors such as the increase in fuel and tariffs. The Councilor for the Environment, Walter Caredda, is harsher, rejecting Paderi's accusations as electoral alarmism and clarifying that the increase in Tari is not linked to the new September contract, but is due to additional expenses such as landfill disposal and Istat adjustments. Caredda also emphasizes that the rate includes a 5% increase to be paid to the Metropolitan City. Francesca Melis
