The creation of an emergency fund by the state to fund individual benefits is well received. In Mayenne, Olivier Richefou, president of the departmental council, goes further. It proposes to act on the revenue from transfer taxes for valuable consideration (notary fees) collected by the departments.
He participated on November 7 and 8, 2018 at the Congress of French Departments in Rennes. Like the other presidents of the county councils, the Mayennais Olivier Richefou (UDI) welcomed the announcement by the Ministers of Social Cohesion and Local Authorities, Sébastien Lecornu and Jacqueline Gourault, the establishment of an emergency fund 115 million euros.
For Olivier Richefou, "the account is not there"
"This is a down payment because the account is not there," however , said Olivier Richefou indicating that the "remaining burden for the departments with regard to individual solidarity grants amounted to 9 billion euros "
Olivier Richefou will submit a proposal at the next office of the Association of French Departments. His idea: to study "the levy of 0.1% on revenue from transfer duties for valuable consideration in each department. This is commonly known as "notary fees". The "better-off" departments could thus come to help the most in difficulty and expose them to the growth of social spending .
