All municipal services should be municipally owned to contain tariffs — Terekhov
Key city infrastructure and communal services must be under the city's control, because only then can tariffs be regulated and the budget forecasted. This conviction was expressed by the head of the Association of Frontline Cities and Communities, Ihor Terekhov.
“My deep conviction — I have been through this: all services provided today to cities and city residents should be municipally owned by the city. Then we regulate,” he said.
Transparent tariff policy, according to the head of the AFCC, makes it possible to more effectively attract investors and meet residents' basic needs, including free public transit.
“I am for the private sector, but not in providing communal services. If we had a private carrier, we would not have free transit. That's the answer. Period,” Ihor Terekhov concluded.
