Chapala Mayor Alejandro Aguirre and District 17 state legislator María Dolores López Jara announced the mechanisms for the statewide public opinion survey on the fiscal pact between the state and federal government that will be held locally on Sunday, November 28.
They are encouraging registered voters to vote in favor of periodic revisions of the 40-year-old agreement that allows the federal government to determine how it shares its tax revenues with states and municipalities. The objective is to gain public support for retooling the agreement so that Jalisco would get a more equitable cut to pay for government programs and projects. The survey will be conducted with electronic voting machines set up at Chapala City Hall, Ajijic’s Saúl Rodiles elementary school, the Niños Héroes school in San Nicolás de Ibarra and Jardín de Niños 56 in Atotonilquillo.
