Of the four promises, the Mayor says he has fulfilled
two.
Members of Coparmex Mazatlán reminded Mayor Carlos Felton of the four campaign promises he made and signed while running for the mayoral seat which he won in 2013.
Head of the business organization, José Óscar Sánchez Osuna, read out the promises during a meeting with the Mayor and some of his council members yesterday.
The first was to reinforce the Instituto Municipal de Planaeción (Municipal Institute of Planning or Implan). The second promise was to form and assist a Citizens’ Security and Transparency Council, the third to form a municipal planning council and the fourth to appoint citizens to the Jumapam council.
Almost everyone when asked what they wanted, said Sánchez Osuna, replied a better city with better security, better roads, better water and drainage service, better employment opportunities and better pay. But at the moment we are not in agreement on how to achieve these goals and instead of advancing, we are losing, he stated, adding as citizens they have to ask the Mayor to fulfill his promises.
Felton replied he had fulfilled the first promise and the proof was the increase in the annual Implan budget from two million to six million pesos to assure the institute’s autonomy. He also pointed out that the municipal planning council was formed on February 19, 2014.
What is left to be done is the Citizens’ Security and Transparency Council and appointment of citizens to the Jumapam council.
For citizens to be a part of the Jumapam council, the Mayor stated, there has to be a change in the Sinaloa water laws.
The President of Coparmex acknowledged advances in the 14 months of Felton’s administration but pointed out there are still projects to be attended to in the 22 months left of the present administration.
Media stated there are 89 development projects slated for this year at a cost of 276 million pesos.
