translated from Spanish: Heavy inheritance | THE DEBATE

political commitments continue to weigh, and much, so that the municipalities of the State and its dependencies achieve clean up their finances. Fearing the political cost, for example, municipal administrations do not dare to increase the rates of drinking water and drainage. Some of the joints of drinking water do not have even a 50 percent efficiency in the collection. The result is that most of the managements of the South of Sinaloa are bankrupt, dependent on loans which, on account of the budget, ask the municipal administrations.
Meanwhile, councils dragged an omission of 50 per cent in the collection of property taxes, which translates into a lack of capacity to perform works and exercise priority programmes of social support.
with the beginning of the new administration, as Escuinapa councils have faced one almost paralysis, to the extent that do not have resources to cover the payroll.
the Governor of Quirino Ordaz Coppel State admitted yesterday that this situation has become widespread in the entity to the extent of having the need to ask for a bailout. There are about 500 million pesos that are petitioning to clean up public finances. Only in the case of Escuinapa, Mayor morenoite Emmet Soto Grave is requesting more than 80 million pesos so that his Administration can start its work effectively. In short, it concerns that City Hall is not operable in the situation in which it is located.
there are other municipalities as Concordia faced a similar situation, and, in the case of some units of Mazatlan, whose incumbents are running heavy debts inherited by the previous municipal administrations, without that any action be taken legal for this reason.
