The "fun train" at the Farm is unconstitutional.

Naira Trindade_ Brasília247 – The controversial proposal to unify the positions of tax inspectors, tax agents, and tax auditors at the Finance Secretariat of the Federal District is still going to generate a lot of discussion. Formally questioned by thirteen deputies who requested a study on the constitutionality of the Executive's proposal, the Legislative Chamber's attorney, Fernando Augusto Miranda Nazaré, deemed the "merging" of the positions into one unconstitutional. The Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) is due to meet to decide on the proposal on Tuesday (8), but the trend, according to comments in the House corridors, is that the committee will not approve the proposal. Dubbed a "gravy train" by the civil servants who oppose it, the bill sent by Governor Agnelo Queiroz to the Chamber in September has become taboo among the district representatives. They avoid commenting on the proposal that gives tax and fiscal agents – who are technicians and professionals at the intermediate and higher levels – full authority to audit and levy taxes, functions that are currently exclusive to auditors, who have a higher education degree. Not even the members of the CCJ (Committee on Constitution and Justice) want to reveal their vote in advance, as it is expected to follow the opinion of the legislative attorney's office. Since its arrival in the House, the proposal has led deputies from both the government's base and the opposition to seek help in understanding the matter. They consulted the Attorney General's Office of the Federal District and the Chamber of Deputies, the Legal Advisory Office of the Federal District Government, and the Constitution and Justice Unit of the Chamber of Deputies to support their votes. Of the four consultations, the two that have already been answered – both from the Chamber of Deputies – deemed the proposal unconstitutional. The others have not yet been completed. The president of the Union of Employees Integrated into the Tax Audit Career of the Treasury of the Federal District (Sinafite), Jomar Mendes, prefers to wait for the conclusion of the CCJ (Committee on Constitution, Justice and Citizenship) before commenting, because he does not consider the opinion definitive. The president of the Union of Tax Auditors of the Federal District (Sindifisco), Jason Henrique Cares, is waiting for the government to follow the Attorney General's decision and not approve a project that could be considered unconstitutional in the future. Today, upon taking office, a tax inspector and a tax agent start with salaries of R$ 12,2. Tax auditors, on the other hand, have a starting salary of R$ 18,2. If the proposal is approved, the government would hold only one public competition for auditors with a starting salary of R$ 12, and salary progression would occur over 17 years. Conversely, agents and inspectors with lower salaries would start earning the highest remuneration, that of a tax auditor. In 2009, an opinion from the Attorney General's Office of the Federal District (PGDF) deemed the creation of a single position combining the three functions of the Finance Secretariat unconstitutional. In his opinion, the then head of the personnel department, Luís Augusto Scandiuzzi, considered the "impossibility of fitting the current occupants of the positions of agents and inspectors into the new position, including those who came from the Tax Revenue Service's competitive examination." This time, the government did not consult the Attorney General's Office before sending the proposal to the legislature.
