Almost 23 billion euros in
"wasteful" spending could be cut from local government budgets
and redeployed for more essential services, business group
Confcommercio said in a study released Wednesday. Using the
northern Lombardy region as a base for comparison, it said other
regions are wasting resources. Calling Lombardy "the most
virtuous" of regional governments, Confcommercio said that
public services at that level should cost just over 102 billion
euro compared to the current 174 billion euro.
