Mayor takes stock and lashes out at critics

Recently, Mayor Ilana Neumann of Sosúa took stock of her reign during 2013 - 2014. She did this in the presence of representatives of neighborhood committees, commanders of the police and military and politicians from different political parties. She lashed out to critics who want to denigrate her with false information, gossip and lies. She called them 'wolves in sheep's clothing'.
Then she gave a summary of the results achieved for the benefit of the community of Sosúa. The Villa Liberación neighborhood now has a community center where training, information- and health activities take place. It is a poor neighborhood and the unemployment rate is very high. Furthermore, a cultural center (Casa de Arte) opened in the past period. More than hundred children receive music, ballet, painting and singing lessons. There are also dozens of youth workshops, including the manufacturing of jewelry. The mayor said the cultural center of Sosúa has a leading role for the province of Puerto Plata. 22 students take violin lessons from teacher Venus Guerrero. Furthermore the municipal choir rehearses here and there are regular art exhibitions. Even some important writers have been invited to bring their literary work under the attention of the audience.
In addition, the local authority has supported several cultural activities as the annual Gourmet Festival, the Jazz Festival and the Intensive School Development.

This school program is intended to reward outstanding students and to encourage further study. Furthermore, the mayor named contributions to religious organizations and the establishment of a literacy program. Also several sports clubs received financial support and sports equipment. The fire brigade and ambulance service received fuel all together worth one million pesos! Furthermore, sports centers were built or renovated. The garbage collection has been improved, and several garbage bins have been placed at various locations. The mayor ended with fierce criticism of her opponents and the way in which they try to denigrate her. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but gossip, lies and obstruction is counterproductive for the community of Sosúa. But she also had a point of self-criticism. The communication with the public could be better and this is where she will work on for the next period.
