Councilors in trouble

[NewsWhore]

The Chamber of Deputies could soon be holding a trial for councilors from the National District after they allegedly authorized the construction of high-rise towers in the Cacicazgos area of Santo Domingo. The councilors had done so without following the required authorization process. Chamber of Deputies president Julio Cesar Valentin says that Deputy Minou Tavarez Mirabal will submit an order for an investigation today. According to Valentin, the councilors' decisions are contrary to the laws and ethics. Listin Diario explains that residents of Los Cacicazgos have been complaining because three towers that are under construction violate the urban residential area's building regulations. The campaign by the residents has put the construction on hold while the authorities mediate the situation.
