No money at the town hall?
I had an "interesting" meeting at the town hall yesterday. As president of the community here I´d arranged a meeting with the head of town planning to discuss the many problems that we're facing here.
I won´t mention any actual names but the person we were supposed to be seeing wasn´t there when we got there so we were attended to by one of the technical staff instead. Now, I´m not an aggressive person by any means and I know that if you want people to do things for you then it´s best to approch them in a nice manner. But there was no point with this on. I don´t know how she didn´t tear my face off. She was so aggressive, her whole manner was just appalling.
The conversation deteriorated further when I asked "when will you finish the road?" (as they have never bothered to do it) and she replied "we´ve got no money" at which point I just grinned at her. No money, what a load of b******cks. With so much construction in the area I don´t think the town hall is poor by any means. Mind you, the previous mayor was arrested last year and they found over 700K Euros in his apartment in cash!. I think I may have found the town hall´s missing money!
So the outcome of the "meeting" was that they won´t do anything for 2 or 3 years as they´ve got no money. We just have to put up with dire conditions and lack of standard services.
It looks like this one´s going to be a lot tougher than expected but I´m not waiting for 2 years.
No money....what a joke.

Don't be silly Justin! Of course the town hall doesn't have the money to spend on trivial things like roads - there are far more important things to spend your rates on - like fiestas every five minutes and fireworks!
