In the Report of the Ethical Foundation there is one item in which the Municipality of Brescia really excels: the timeliness of payments. In other words, if there is a creditor to pay, the Lodge does so in a short time, it is as timely as very few other public bodies in Italy. Pay on average five days before the expiry of the credits. Very few do better than the Lioness: the usual Trento which boasts a minus 17, Cuneo -15, Udine -8 and no one else. A high-level performance that characterizes the public administration of Brescia, which also in recent years. And that is found above all in the municipalities of Northern Italy, while in the central and southern Italy payments take place over much longer times with serious damage to the supplier companies. In fact, it is no mystery that «many companies – writes the 2017 Public Rating itself in the introduction – go bankrupt due to the non-collection of receivables claimed for a service or service from a public administration: if it is true that this before or then, unlike a private individual, it will pay, it is also true that the survival of a supplier company will be strongly conditioned by how much these payments are made. SESCIA and a handful of other municipalities is impeccable in fulfilling its obligations as a debtor, there are municipalities such as Terni which pays with an average delay that exceeds three months while Potenza even exceeds seven months. Fondazione Etica which collected this data was unable to provide it with some municipalities such as Salerno, Brindisi and Cosenza. In general, FE points out that most of the administrations are not examples of open government as the Italian law would like, from 190 of 2012 to the decree on transparency of March 2013 up to the Foia signed by Marianna Madia. Data when it is consistent is data in unintelligible forms, writes the report.
