　　進行中的改革

　　政府車輛使用的改革能夠真正減少辦公費用支出嗎?雖然部分地區(qū)政府已經(jīng)朝著改革的方向有所行動，但是，并沒有報告顯示支出減少這樣的結(jié)果。

　　杭州政府上個月實施了改革。副局級以下官員不能將公務出差作為商業(yè)旅行。相反，他們每個月可以根據(jù)自己的行政級別取得300元到2,600元不等的補貼。這項改革的目的是讓政府節(jié)省大量維護車輛的費用。

　　位于中國浙江省東部的杭州并不是第一個實施這類改革的地區(qū)。鄰省江蘇省的省會南京市在五年前就已經(jīng)實施了。然而，卻沒有任何報告表明南京市政府通過這些措施節(jié)省了費用。政府官員每月可能有出差補助。

　　公眾有權(quán)利要求此類改革有透明度，因為這些費用花的正是納稅人的錢。納稅入要求政策制定有透明度是因為擔心決策者做出有悖于他們利益的事。

　　很明顯，這些補助不是基于工作的需要。低級的公務員比高級公務員出差更多。因此，這項改革的作用似乎很小。

　　只有透明度能告訴我們這些改革措施是否的確降低了政府的交通費用。如果沒有公開改革所節(jié)省的費用數(shù)目，那么，公眾有理由懷疑這項改革只是官員用車補的形式提高自己收入的一種手段。政府車輛的使用需要改革。2008年，政府花費了些購車費用，并且一年的使用和維護費用也是較大的。

　　一項研究表明，稅收政策的改革越多，稅率也會發(fā)生相應的調(diào)整?，F(xiàn)在，唯一能夠防些政府車輛改革發(fā)生惡性循環(huán)的方法就是更高級別政府機關(guān)能夠?qū)Φ胤截斦M行嚴格而透明的監(jiān)管。
