Governor wants four-year terms for mayors
Jalisco Governor Jorge Aristoteles Sandoval wants to extend mayors’ terms of office in the state from three to four years. He believes three years is insufficient time for municipal administrations to generate plans and put them into practice satisfactorily.
The initiative would not prohibit mayors from taking leave of office to run for higher office, Sandoval said. Sandoval barely served two years of his term as mayor of Guadalajara before stepping down to campaign for governor.
Lorena Jassibe Arriaga, wife of Jalisco Governor Jorge Aristoteles Sandoval and newly installed president of the Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) de Jalisco, the decentralized public assistance agency, knows her own mind.
Imagine the Guadalajara metro area populated by thousands of sleek, clean, modern buses with electronic payment systems, driven with care by professionally trained drivers.
Jalisco Governor Aristoteles Sandoval met with the director of the National Water Commission (CNA) last week as he kept up his campaign to save three communities from being inundated to make way for the massive Zapotillo dam on the Verde River in the northeastern region of the state.
