What do the councilors decide? City councils don't publish resolutions

Municipal governments in the Greater Santo Domingo area are failing to publish official resolutions, creating a significant gap between legal transparency requirements and actual administrative practice. Despite the mandates established under Article 222 of Law 176-07, which governs the District National and municipalities, citizens are currently unable to access information regarding the decisions made by local council members.

This lack of transparency hinders public oversight of municipal governance. The discrepancy highlights an ongoing issue where local authorities are not fulfilling their statutory obligations to provide public access to legislative and administrative actions, thereby limiting the ability of residents to hold their local representatives accountable.
