Finance committee in Göttingen: More money for the OB, less for culture!

Göttingen, Deutschland - In Göttingen, a draft budget causes excitement, which is to be approved on December 13th. The Finance Committee recently decided that a total of 10,000 euros could be saved in the selection of drinks as part of the budgetary security concept (HSK), while the mayor's presentation receives 2.5 million euros. This is explained by the Göttingen Tageblatt, which also indicates the controversy around the use of Coca-Cola, a company that is criticized due to its environmental policy practices.

controversy about budget decisions

A member of the Finance Committee had previously pointed out the discrepancies in the budget draft and wanted to ask critical questions. Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity for the question time and could not register his concerns. The demand to almost double the number of full -time positions for the public relations work of the presentation is particularly interesting, while 1.5 positions in the local museum are to be canceled. This unequal distribution of resources raises questions, especially with regard to the expenditure priorities of the city administration.

While those responsible concentrate on savings, the development of job offers at the University of Göttingen also ensures discussions. Interested parties can view the current job advertisements on the university's website. Here it is pointed out that the application requests data protection law consent, and a comprehensive overview of all vacancies is offered. This personnel policy could also affect the future orientation of the university and its financial policy, as reported on the official website of the University of Göttingen.
