“One of my programmatic commitments, when I was a candidate, was to develop a Transparency and Anti-Corruption Plan. One of the main components of this plan is to audit the contracts awarded in the last 10 years and make accessible to the public all the information on the management and the public expense of all organism in the Mayorship, so that all know the fiscal reality of the municipality “, mentioned Roldán.
During his sworn message, he stressed that he will share with the citizens the economic and fiscal situation of the City. “The city council is in a serious fiscal and social state. Aguadilla has high levels of unemployment and a disproportionate municipal debt. The last administration spent more than 50% allowed by law and the tax coffers drag a $ 4 million in revenue deficit, “he added.
“I understand perfectly the mandate that the people carried out last November. This mandate, not only in Aguadilla was clear, but in all of Puerto Rico. That’s why before I swore, I’ve already started working with compueblanos de “All parties, traditional and emerging. We all have different voices in our opinions and ideologies, but we are united by our desire to serve our people,” he said.
