15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session.
Economic perspectives center on the financial discipline of local municipalities and strengthening their revenue base to prevent debt and the failure to provide essential services. The speaker supports collecting taxes to finance these services but emphasizes the necessity of avoiding overly rapid and crippling tax hikes, proposing mechanisms for lowering the tax rate as a solution. He warns that property tax alone cannot resolve all the supplementary costs faced by local governments.
