The market town of Altomünster wants to massively increase kindergarten fees. Most of the members of the municipal council, however, are behind the decision.
The administration had proposed an increase of five, ten or 20 percent in the table template. Parents would accept a 20 to 30 percent increase, "but 80 percent is too much," says Cornelia Neidhart, chairwoman of the Kleine Strolche in Altom Münster. "Parts of the local council are absolutely not child- or family-friendly," says Kerstin Tetzel.
