El gobernador Pedro Rafael Pierluisi Urrutia explicó el martes su solicitud a la Junta de Control Fiscal para que le permita una serie de enmiendas al Plan Fiscal, para ayudar económicamente a los municipios.

“(Para) establecer un Fondo Municipal de Servicios Esenciales, que se va a nutrir del 25 por ciento del sobrante del presupuesto operacional del gobierno en cualquier año, luego de cumplir lo que establece el Plan de Ajuste de la Deuda. O sea, cualquier sobrante que tengamos, el 25 por ciento se destinaría a ese fondo”, dijo el gobernador en conferencia de prensa.

“¿Para qué? Para entre otras cosas, garantizar que los municipios puedan tener sus finanzas en orden, para dar los servicios esenciales que le proveen a sus pueblos. Es una formula, lo que estamos proponiendo una fórmula, que es fiscalmente responsable y ahora está en manos de la junta decidir”, añadió.

El gobernador explicó que esta propuesta no se parece al Fondo de Equiparación, que la Junta Fiscal insiste en derogar.

“Depende de una serie de factores, población entre otros, pero sí estaría disponible para los municipios.  La fórmula se asemejaría a la fórmula que se utiliza para el fondo de equiparación a la hora de distribución.  Pero es un porcentaje del sobrante o sea funciona diferente, ya no es que tienen por decir 88 millones todos los años, no, esto es más responsable”, expresó.

Vincentians have been warned that heat discomfort will continue here over the next few days

However, the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Meteorological Service says there is a moderate to high chance of some scattered showers alleviating some of the warm conditions.

Today, fair conditions could become cloudy at times, with a high chance of some scattered showers.

And, scattered moderate showers are possible during the night, as a strong tropical wave moves to the north of the island chain to affect mainly St. Lucia, northwards

Tomorrow, there is a possibility of moderate showers, mainly over the north of the mainland.

The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) is closely monitoring the progress of a tropical wave and an associated area of low pressure located near 14.5 N, 45.6 W or about 1510 km or 940 miles to the east of Barbados.

According to the meteorologist on duty at the BMS this afternoon, some models are showing the tropical wave will approach and affect the island from Wednesday night into Thursday, however others are showing the wave moving into the northern Leewards later this week, around Saturday.

Due to the inconsistencies of the models as it relates to the intensity and track forecast of this wave, the BMS will continue to monitor it closely.

The system remains disorganized at this time, but over the past 24 hours it has become slightly better organized.

Regardless of development, this system does not pose any direct threat to Barbados as it passes well north of the island. However, this will result in a reduction in wind speeds, and therefore conditions will remain warm.
