Eddy about care reform – communication is everything

In the current debate about the Styrian care reform, all those involved do not give a very good picture.

“Interpersonal communication – especially with the help of language or signs.” This is how the Duden defines the word “communication”. After the attempt with the language went rather suboptimal, those responsible could now try it with characters. Smoke signals between Graz Castle and City Hall would at least give the debate about the social welfare reform a certain originality. The current egg dance is one thing above all – highly embarrassing. The leaders of the city of Graz around Mayor Elke Kahr and Finance Councilor Manfred Eber feel ignored in the reform. There had never been any talks with the city, and one could read about “secret negotiations”. The other 285 Styrian municipalities apparently have trouble-free communication channels to Graz Castle or to their interest groups, the Association of Municipalities and Towns. “Not true” On Tuesday, after a meeting with the head of the Association of Municipalities, Kurt Wallner, City Councilor Eber reported that the Association of Municipalities would not sign the agreement with the state becomes. “Not true,” said the mayor of Leobner yesterday. He wants to bring the Graz proposal (elaboration of a new study) to the main committee for a vote next week. As a reminder: the sad spectacle is about the financing of social welfare in Styria. Money that many people urgently need. So it is high time that everyone involved remembered what they are well paid for, namely doing their job.
