Discontent

All seems to point that people in Cuernavaca are feed up with how the municipal president has been handling the most important issues of the city.

So far, the hasn't been a satisfactory solution on any of the most pressing problems that the people are asking him to resolve. The tax on property, which is up by more of a 90% in some cases, is still not even addressed directly by the authorities.

There has been some talks about capping the raise to 10% by some social organizations, but government officials say that it isn't an option. What's worse, is that while on the part of the society there is the will to negotiate how much the tax should go up, on the government side there isn't such will. This attitude only adds to the anger, which could lead to more friction.

Other issue, is that the works at Morelos avenue are virtually stalled. Which is unacceptable, since this is one of the main arteries of the city and it's one of the main economic centers of the state capital. About 1500 direct people are at risk of losing their jobs. With the economy as it is, this blow is only going to be magnified.

So, it comes as no surprise that the anger and dissatisfaction with how things are coming to tipping point. Several organizations have started the petition for the president of Cuernavaca to quit.

One wonders if the president actually realizes how much discontent society has.
