The president of the Dominican Municipal League, Amable Aristy Castro also said that he expects Congress to fix the practice by the Executive Branch that violates the law on the assignment of money to the municipalities.
As reported in Listin Diario, Reyes called for the transfer of the tax base of municipal concerns, such as license plates, remittances, property taxes and others that are currently channeled to the central government by order of the Executive Branch.
Reyes promised to maintain the 3% tax on the electricity distributors (EDEs) and telephone service as set out in law 176-07, and to continue to strengthen the Regional Municipal Associations.
