Boquete blog, questions for the mayor candidates

10 years ago
From a Boquete blogger:

----questions for the four candidates competing to be the next Alcalde of Boquete. These are the questions I have assembled for them.

What is your vision for Boquete?

What I want to know is who understands the economic evolution occurring as we watch.

What is your solution for resolving the overwhelming water issues in the District?

Do you have any plans to repair streets including fixing all the unsafe changes created by the last paving of the main street in Boquete making a dangerous slope at the curbs.

Can the District create something like Leisure centers in the UK? (love this question -- like UK, get over it you're not in the UK ~~ LS)

Basically these are the questions people have, no one asked about safety, about corruption, about anything else. There is still time to add questions.

Those questions should prompt some dialogue. I have contacted the three principal candidates. Only one, Toto Gonzales from Molirena / Cambio Democratico has agreed to meet, the other two have not yet responded. I will push again this week.

One of the key issues nationally and in Boquete also is water; water quality and lack of water. There were appearances on two national television stations by residents of Santa Lucia about water. The problems in Santa Lucia have been getting worse as the area grows and it has become intolerable to residents. Residents of Santa Lucia have taken to the national media to condemn the lack of resolution and ask for what all Panama wants clean, reliable water.
