“One of the things that we plan to do first of all, in implementing technology, first of all starting with the work place, we need to give the staff that resource, new computers, good programs to start with, good documentation for all your data and we plan to implement the technology in various aspects, first of all the reporting, the websites, in these days we have of resource on how to share information, we have the internet and then we have face book, w have e-mail and we have different ways in which people can actually get information fast, before we had to get into our bikes and share that information one by one now you can easily send an email and the person gets the email instantly even on your phone, technology works that fast and that is how we want to work in this town.”
As for the question to the town council finances, Councilor Josue Carballo says there is money, but their ideas were never taken into consideration.
