February 20, on a dare by State congressman Carlos Briseño Becerra, Jalisco’s 39 legislators said they would each donate a days’ wages (3,574 pesos) to the Jalisco Cruz Roja. They have yet to pony up. With the annual collection now behind it. Cruz Roja officials are wondering if the politicos will put their money where their mouths are. In Jalisco, the Red Cross attends seven out of 10 accidents. It needs 15 pesos from each of the states seven million residents to serve its inhabitants professionally, but receives a paltry 1.23 pesos per person.
