of our sadness, let us be the macho and solve the serious problems of the city

Pubblichiamo qui sotto l'intervento di Umberto Cogliati apparso su La provincia di Lecco e relativo alla gestione della città da parte della Giunta Faggi 

Caro Sindaco, c'è da amazed by his interview with "The Province" on the number of year-end. It affects primarily the claim to justify a series of excuses not exactly enviable status of the city. This want to blame the other betrays its weakness in guiding a city where there are many problems that you and others that elude you in and escape notice but can not make it to solve them. You know, the bureaucracy, the procedures? Ancient litany, and let us take it for real, but says that his Cabinet and his shaky majority have nothing to do with the bureaucracy and not as the fault of the citizens who, it seems, would recipients of the administrative, rather pay the inadequacy of its political leadership, which no.
Excuse me: you claim to have character, put it to good use, because so far we have seen, not just the impression we have is that the right to be gotten out of hand a bit 'too much, and we asks whether it is normal for her "collections" without reaction all the city and press the charge in terms of delays, waste, inability to decide?. You see, people are not passionate about the issues of his advisors to mid driven by her other half and chased by others, nor can import that you find people who smiles at her and then betrayed her, or that there is half of a "woman factor "or" gossip of men "(he could save money), but would like go to see works in port around which are just endless speeches and they suffer damage (cleaner), or as they say, in the process, we do not know what to do (Palace of Fear), or major surgery but "small" as the "hole" away from the railroad on Balicco, that he speaks as if it was the cathedral of Milan, to say nothing of the operation for parking and outbuildings of the coil or the hundreds of parking spaces that for years "lie" stuck, or "Civic Hall" communal ready in time via Foscolo but inexplicably closed, or even the results from "Manual of things to do" as the avenue Turati, or why not?, square Affairs (which deal!) and even other half true and half false problems such as port or fourth tower at La Meridiana, always honor of gossip.
Nor can it be, if I may, let's figure out a unanimity in Council on the PGT (Plan of Government of the Territory) as if that plan was a done deal but, again, is to nothing but good intentions, which, however , and would see a blind man, you have to measure up as "govern" the little land left free by the tower blocks which, as yes, still marching without stopping. Remember, Mr. Mayor, a statement that years ago: The goal of a green city (!)?.
And, again, we have a city "decorated" by thousands written on the walls of indecent poses problem without them. As you get used to not feel shame over the thousands of students who come to the places and Manzoni are closed and no services (not even the toilets)? But tourism is only talk.
We would have liked that a mayor a bit 'more Santa Claus brings us to something sturdy gift: to know the measures for the elderly in some older households without services, as many always expected to have a house to the solution, the livability in urban chaos, on some strategy for facilitating solutions to the economic crisis and other targets to reverse the negative trends, but, it says, are other priorities. The impression that he takes, Mr. Mayor, is that it lacks the anxiety of choosing and resolved to see the important things, the truest and most heartfelt, resulting in a lack of policy choices. However Greetings!

Umberto Cogliati
