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

World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 26m ago

An investigation by Diario Libre in the Greater Santo Domingo area of the Dominican Republic highlights a persistent gap between municipal transparency obligations and the actual information made publicly available by local city councils. The reporting focuses on how certain ayuntamientos fail to publish the resolutions decided upon by their aldermen (regidores).

This lack of public disclosure directly conflicts with the legal mandates governing municipal administration, specifically pointing to the requirements outlined in Article 222 of Law 176-07 for the National District and municipalities. The situation underscores ongoing challenges regarding civic access to local government decision-making processes.
