LRH criticizes some things – examiners in the Spittal town hall: Pirih’s era torn apart

The State Audit Office (LRH) took a close look at the city of Spittal: hardly any controls, a lot of arbitrariness, cash boxes and high heels.

One word: devastating. This is the verdict of the state audit office on the conditions in the city of Spittal during the era of the voted-out SPÖ mayor Gerhard Pirih. The report, which will be public on Monday, is already available to the “Krone”: Item 38: The Court of Auditors complains that the city has ten current accounts with seven different banks. Which is completely unusual.Point 51: The LRH reveals that the city did not make all real estate sales public.Point 54: The examiners criticize that the city paid attention to land exchanges only on equality of area and not on market prices. Which would be advisable, after all, about 100 square meters of nettles are worth less than 100 square meters of lake bed. Point 68: There were often no checks on the intended use of subsidies. Points 70 and 71: The city also granted rent reductions without proof of necessity and without subsidy agreements. So random? Point 73: When purchasing vehicles, not all car dealers in question were contacted. Points 35, 57 and 58 are no longer relevant, but they are at least entertaining. The auditors discovered a broken cash box and stated: “The State Audit Office found that a cash box was defective and criticized the fact that only intact cash boxes should be used to store cash.” with high heels” because of the lack of joint sand there.Spittal Mayor Gerhard Köfer, back in office since the 2021 election, on this report on the years of his predecessor: “There is indeed a lot to clean up. We will put everything on new tracks quickly, calmly and competently.”
