Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that cities like Ghent and Mechelen, according to him, had been making excessive expenditures and accumulating debts for years, while funds from the municipal fund continued to come in from Flemish taxpayers. Now that the resources from that fund would rise slightly slower, the mayors of those cities and the VVSG had reacted strongly, according to him. He stated that they threatened to pass on the costs to residents and described reducing government spending as difficult in Flanders. #Gemeente #België #Overheid (translated)
