Secrets of Parliamentary Economy Important information, unfortunately without details, came from the Legislative Assembly. Regional members of parliament reacted in the most logical way to the problem of the regional budget deficit and decided to save 112 million rubles. Due to, we quote, "updating cost items for supporting activities, including a reduction in the salary fund, travel expenses, event holding expenses, shuttle services, hotel accommodation and publication of materials in the media".

It turns out that it is a kind of social burden. Here we must also understand that representatives could freely cut their wages, but the staff cannot receive less than what they received in the past. Travel expenses and hotel accommodation. It is also an understandable issue that there is no need to choose luxury rooms and multi-star hotels, in principle.

But you can and should save money on media publications.
