“We invested 3 million on roads, a record.
I thank the councilors of my coalition as well as all the others, because even the opposition can do very important team work in the commission.
To make an estimate, 3 million made it possible to redevelop around 40 kilometers of roads, an investment in favor of safety.
Like the million invested in schools, whose critical issues we know well.
I thank the financial sector and the auditors, then the manager Delia Tommaselli, Dr. Giovinazzi, Dr. Dicuia and all the employees.
Thanks to all of them, we managed to ensure that this Administration always had its accounts in order.”
