Chisinau Council rejects Communists' idea to dwindle heat tariff

The Chisinau Municipal Council (CMC) rejected Friday the idea of the Communist councilors (PCRM) to reduce the heat tariff for natural persons, from 540 to 233 lei/Gcal, Info-Prim Neo reports. The PCRM proposes that the difference is paid from the municipal budget. Other two draft decisions on the heat tariff, put up by mayor Dorin Chirtoacă to maintain the tariff in force to 540 lei/Gcal, and the other submitted by Termocom heating company to hike it to 842 lei – were not set for discussion. CMC chairman Eduard Musuc said the draft decisions were not inserted on the oder of the day because they were irrelevant. The PCRM's draft was voted by 24 councilors from PCRM, PPCD, PSD the PUM councilor Serghei Cires, missing two votes to pass.
