San Luis Potosí oversight commission urges mayors to manage public spending responsibly

Luis Fernando Gámez Macías, president of the State Congress Oversight Commission, has called on municipal presidents to exercise responsibility and caution regarding public spending. This warning comes as several mayors have announced plans to seek credit to meet year-end financial commitments.

Gámez Macías emphasized that the Legislative Power and the State Superior Oversight Institute (IFSE) will be monitoring municipal finances closely. He noted that because it is an election year, mayors must be particularly careful as the public will demand accountability and results. Regarding the 2027 Revenue Laws, he stated that while the legislature cannot prevent tax increases, it will demand clarity and caution to avoid public backlash.

Additionally, the deputy addressed water utility fees, stating that any proposed increases in tariffs by water operating agencies must be supported by strict technical criteria and justifications. The legislature plans to reevaluate public services to ensure such technical standards are met.
