Foreword. I have not (intentionally) detailed the news of the Mayor of Adro, Brescia, who has arranged a bus to her home the children in arrears with payment of school meals service. In this post I will only say how I would have behaved in a similar situation and I understand if I am a crypto-racist.
Scene 1. DAY. Mayor's Office.
Model: the Mayor, the Director of the Budget Committee.
R - Mr. Mayor, we have a problem.
S - What kind of problem?
R - Quarantamilaeuro.
S - hole, I guess. Great big problem. And what is that caused this shortfall?
R - The school canteen.
S - Yes, the canteen, and then what?
R - And then nothing. The table and nothing else.
S - ...
A - There are unpaid bills. Years.
S - for years? And now you noticed?
R - Um ...
S - Oh well, never mind. Sure € 40,000 of unpaid bills ...
A - No. .. ie they are not all unpaid bills ... those amounts to approximately € 10,000 ... the rest is because the service is losing his.
Scene 2. DAY. Office of the Mayor.
Model: the Mayor, the Director of the Budget Committee, the Minister of Education, the Dean School.
A - You know how ... There are many non-EU ... those demanding the table without pork and free wine ...
S - But the children given the wine?
A - No. .. that is ... had to say ...
S - Go ahead.
A - I said, all these non-EU ...
S - But I'm just not paying them?
A - No. .. that is ... There are also Italian ... but there are too many immigrants.
S - I understand, I understand, will continue.
A - Well, 'is people do not pay. Only after the successful casino in Verona ...
R - Yes, Verona ...
A - ... we can not leave without eating.
R - Oh but you can not go on like this ...
P - I would try with a letter parents.
S - Explain better Mr. Dean.
P - Something like: if, within one month of unpaid debt, your children will have to eat somewhere else. Obviously written with the proper way.
S - She realizes that this might take us a figure worse than Verona. At least they gave him a sandwich. But the idea of \u200b\u200bthe warning letter is not bad. Let's do this: while we bring in three months time to get back at least part of the debt. Then write that in the event of financial problems can come to talk about it here in town that a solution is found. And as a last resort ...
R - We are always there. We exclude them from the table.
S - No, not that. But what else can we do?
P - I may have an idea. There is already home to the van that accompanies those who do not use the canteen and then he drove them to school. We can use that.
S - Good idea Mr. Dean. Let's do this: you write the letter. But please, be as comprehensive as possible. Say we're sorry, we would like to avoid any negative impact on children but that is not right to ignore it, especially against those who have always paid regularly. And then we hope that journalists ...
