What is the economic basis of local government

The activity of self-government bodies in any region directly depends on its material base, on the financial resources that the bodies have, on the economic bases of local self-government. For example, if in a rural school the payment for heating, catering for children in the canteen, payment for teachers' circle work lies entirely on the local authorities and is not sponsored from above, there will most likely be problems in all these areas. As a rule, taxes and other fees on the ground are not so large as to provide all the needs and requirements from the local budget. Therefore, the gas will be economically saved, and the pupils will freeze with the teachers. Eating in the dining room for children will have a monotonous and meager, cheaper. Many circles can not function - there will be nothing to pay for the work of teachers. Students will suffer because their interests, needs can not be realized, and teachers: their workload will be incomplete, and their salary will be cut back.

The economic basis of local self-government includes the right to independently manage all types of municipal property, to formulate, approve, use the local budget, and establish local taxes. Without an economic platform, there can be no question of any local self-government. That is why the Constitution enshrines the basic economic rights of local authorities.

Thus, the economic basis of local self-government is:

• all property that is in municipal ownership. These can be enterprises, banks and other financial organizations, educational institutions, health-related institutions or those related to the cultural department, municipal sports institutions, etc .;

• a local budget with all its resources;

• property rights of municipal entities.

Real opportunities for self-government

Municipalities are urban and rural settlements, as well as districts, city districts, intracity territories of cities with federal status. Citizens can basically implement their right to self-government in small municipal units in small areas. In larger entities, the entire economic basis of local self-government is subordinate to the local administration, which takes on all rights and obligations, as well as to those self-governing bodies that are allowed by the charter of municipal units. They solve property, financial issues, improvement issues and many others. But since all this is done on behalf of citizens, it is necessary to form an active life position, a sense of master and an understanding of the fact that local self-government should protect and observe, first of all, their interests, because they are considered by law to be owners of municipal property.
