Election promise kept

The maire of La Salvetat-Saint-Gilles, a commune west of Toulouse, promised to help local young people to get a driving licence if elected last May. The "divers gauche" (DVG) group has saved 30000 euros by reducing the number of assistant mayors (adjoints) from 8 to 6 and the rest foregoing 10% of their expenses. Now 12 young people having driving lessons, which cost around 1200 euros are the first to benefit. As compensation the youngsters are asked to contribute 70 hours of useful community work. Sounds like a win/win idea.
