I visited "the Green Center" of my hometown Kitami City on my way of jogging early in the morning. I make a point of visiting there every morning during my stay in my cozy old home but keeping this place well-maintained will be tough for the municipality.
I had heard of the bad financial situation of the municipality and it turned out that it was worst in Hokkaido and worse than that notorious Yubari City that had experienced bankruptcy after the overdrive of spending its small-scale budget making the most of subsidies from the central government.
After the closing of coalmines in the city, the municipality of Yubari turned its direction to tourism-centered development but too much debt brought by the mayors leadership deteriorated the service system of the municipality. What the leader and the city councilors of my hometown failed to do?
