Manning on the reform

[NewsWhore]

President of the American Chamber of Commerce Kevin Manning says that instead of increasing taxes the government should remove all unnecessary government posts. Speaking in Hoy, Manning continued by saying that the government should focus on reducing the government payroll and government costs, and cited the efforts of Customs head Miguel Coco who removed two people from their posts at customs in order to reduce the payroll. Manning also cited the JCE and the State Run Electricity Companies (CDEEE) as entities that employ too many staff. The business leader commented that the proposed reform will mostly affect the country's poorer sectors, and says that it could possibly affect the DR's entry into DR-CAFTA. Manning also urged the Congress to consider the inflationary effect of the reform when reviewing the proposal.
