SANTIAGO. After several days of publishing a list of companies that owed millions to the local City Council, two new companies were removed from a giant billboard that was placed in an important avenue of this city.
The companies that were updated with the payment of the taxes in the Cabildo were Orange Dominicana, of telecommunications and McDonalds, of the gastronomic area.
The first company to settle its debts with the local municipality was Coca-Cola, through the company Bepensa Dominicana.
There are seven other companies or businesses published on the billboard that is placed between the avenues Juan Pablo Duarte and Salvador Estrella Sadhalá.
The placement of this billboard containing the names of delinquent businesses with the City Council provoked a public debate with sectors in favor and sectors against the measure.
Even the Association of Merchants and Industrialists of Santiago (ACIS) recommended to its associates, through a circular, not to pay the municipal taxes, if their names appear in the publication.
Meanwhile other sectors supported the measure, claiming that the City Council of this city is empowered by laws and special ordinances to do this type of publication. NP
