Rap in Palermo reduces demands but still wants a 31 million increase

Explain to me briefly the following article:

The article talks about Rap, the waste collection company in Palermo, asking for an increase in their service contract despite trying to reduce their initial request. The company initially requested an additional 36 million euros in the contract, causing controversy. However, after reevaluation, the new proposal now asks for a 31 million euro increase, including VAT, bringing the total cost of the service contract from 113 to 144 million euros. This would result in a nearly 30% increase in the citizen tax. The article also mentions concerns about the legitimacy of this increase based on the regulations set by the national authority for the regulation of energy (Arera), which allows for a maximum increase of 9.6% compared to the previous amount. Additionally, the article discusses the challenges faced by Rap in terms of financial losses, lack of operational efficiency, and potential resistance from the public to a significant tax increase.
