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

World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 38m ago

An investigative report by Diario Libre highlights a significant transparency gap regarding municipal governance in the Greater Santo Domingo area of the Dominican Republic. The publication reveals that local city councils and councilmen ("regidores") fail to publicly disclose their official resolutions and decisions, contradicting legal requirements.

Specifically, this lack of disclosure violates Article 222 of Law 176-07, which governs the National District and its municipalities. The statutory framework mandates that municipal resolutions be made accessible to the citizenry, creating a direct conflict between established legal obligations and current administrative practices among local governments in the region.
