A mayor testing the patience of the citizens
What the papers say
La Prensa. July 21
The mayor of the capital city tests, once again, the fragile patience of the citizens who live in this district. The attempts to salvage what he could not defend because of a lack of administrative capacity, probably end up in the same waste bin as the votes he received in the last election. The mayor wasted a great opportunity: he has not done anything that serves to improve public opinion about his management.
And now, in the agony of his unpopularity , he wants to avoid the removal of the responsibility of collecting garbage, or charging for providing the service, and wants to collect the business taxes for billboards. The Executive has shown that it has more power by subtracting functions of the mayor precisely because of his questionable role as a top official of the capital city Very little can be achieved from the members of the Assembly to reverse decisions on garbage collection when they, if anything, have been proven without a doubt to be totally submissive to the Executive.
