　　进行中的改革

　　政府车辆使用的改革能够真正减少办公费用支出吗?虽然部分地区政府已经朝着改革的方向有所行动，但是，并没有报告显示支出减少这样的结果。

　　杭州政府上个月实施了改革。副局级以下官员不能将公务出差作为商业旅行。相反，他们每个月可以根据自己的行政级别取得300元到2,600元不等的补贴。这项改革的目的是让政府节省大量维护车辆的费用。

　　位于中国浙江省东部的杭州并不是第一个实施这类改革的地区。邻省江苏省的省会南京市在五年前就已经实施了。然而，却没有任何报告表明南京市政府通过这些措施节省了费用。政府官员每月可能有出差补助。

　　公众有权利要求此类改革有透明度，因为这些费用花的正是纳税人的钱。纳税入要求政策制定有透明度是因为担心决策者做出有悖于他们利益的事。

　　很明显，这些补助不是基于工作的需要。低级的公务员比高级公务员出差更多。因此，这项改革的作用似乎很小。

　　一项研究表明，税收政策的改革越多，税率也会发生相应的调整。现在，唯一能够防些政府车辆改革发生恶性循环的方法就是更高级别政府机关能够对地方财政进行严格而透明的监管。
