Budget represents the final opportunity for a shift in the current state of affairs, according to FDP
In the heart of Germany, the city of Solingen is gearing up for a significant transformation. The city's administration, under the guidance of FDP politician Nina Brattig, has outlined a strategic plan aimed at securing a stable financial future and making Solingen a global leader in innovation.
One of the key aspects of this strategy is the city's goal to cap costs in the core administration. This will be achieved by utilising fewer employees to perform more tasks, facilitated by the best equipment, smart systems, and intelligent use of personnel. The city administration also plans to reduce costs by implementing smart systems and intelligent IT and AI support.
The city's proposed budget aims for black numbers from 2039 onwards, signifying a balanced budget. However, it's important to note that there are no self-initiated measures to improve the budget situation. Instead, the city aims to increase income without tax increases by attracting new companies.
Investment in kindergartens and schools is a crucial part of Solingen's strategy for the future. The city believes that massive investment in these areas is necessary for the city's future prosperity. The FDP in Klingenstadt is calling for a change in mindset towards an administration that partners with company kindergartens, school partnerships, and all-day care.
Economic growth is another focus area. The FDP politician, Nina Brattig, advocates for a 100% support culture for the economy, including the designation and provision of new commercial areas, fast approval procedures, and a welcoming attitude. Solingen's administration also aims to fill the gaps due to the departure of baby boomers with smart systems and intelligent IT and AI support.
The city's ambition extends beyond financial stability and economic growth. Solingen aspires to become the sharpest city in the world, a Smart City. This involves the implementation of intelligent systems to improve city services and quality of life for its residents.
Despite the optimistic outlook, it's important to acknowledge the challenges Solingen faces. The city is projected to be virtually bankrupt, and the past 5 years have not gone optimally or according to plan, as stated by Nina Brattig. However, the FDP in Klingenstadt is calling for a turning point, a shift towards a more innovative and forward-thinking approach to city governance.
