I havent noticed anyone discussing the election issues in the mayors race. i dont pretend to really follow all the politics and candidates or know in detail their history. but i thought id ask expats and argentines which issues are important to them in this election. let us know in your response, if youre elegible to vote or not.
I remember early in the campaign, some candidates couldnt decide whether to run for the nations president or mayor of BA, thats how important the job is apparently.
Rather than say "security", id say, you must enforce the laws you have. New mayor should courageously impliment a no tolerance policy for enforcing the law. if it turns out a law doesnt exist lets say, for requiring all cars to have headlights at night, then pass it. If a law doesnt exist for not running people over in a pedestrian crosswalk, when they have the green light, then pass it.
But, again, back to my number 1 issue, enforce the laws without excuse. If officials dont comply, get rid of them.
number 2. seems to me crucial the mayor has control over at least some of the police force. (did you know the police you see on the street are federal, under the presidents command or the coast guard at puerto madero?)
I call on new mayor to create a municipal police force! has this been a campaign issue? it should be. new mayor should have a plan on this and impliment it quickly.
so as a year-round resident or citizen, what issues do you think should be part of the new mayors 1st 100 days?
