government salaries
That was a fantastic, fascinating article about the president of Uruguay. Good find!!

Many years ago, a retired Dominican politician died.
All the papers said that he was the only "Honest" Dominican politician.
"WHY", they said, "Because he died poor"!
Still true Today!

Salary List - Consules
Here is a list of the Min. Relaciones de Exterior with all the salaries. The question is, if the information is already public, why isn't there yet an outcry like with the 4%? This should be the next thing on the list.

I am going to be a little cynical - but maybe many would love to have a nice government job at any level with as many perks and salary as possible - and the DR still operates, in many aspects, around who you know and not what you know - and they give loyalty to who they think will help them and their family over the years. Sometimes that can be helpful, but sometimes that means they willingly put blinders on to some issues in order to get what they think helps them.
And in it also seems an opinion that money gives power and that a person in power should have money - even if it is not right or done the right way. Again, I am just being cynical at this moment. I will try to be more positive later.

Tres de cada cuatro diplom?ticos dominicanos “cobran sin trabajar” | Amodominicana
seems that lots of these workers are not actually working after all..
and the salaries that were just published were lowered, I think, in response to an outcry a couple of years ago about how high they were.
I heard a story.. have no idea if it is true, that the last Dominican ambassador in France had his own jet and his own private yacht... so fitting for a rep from a developing country.
yes, he might have been rich. Certainly, the salaries that are paid officially to the Diplomatic corps are not enough to even live properly in the foreign capitals.. so I do not know what they are doing. Either they are having to take bribes, or doing a good business on the side with importing the jeepetas without taxes and selling them, or something.. because really, you cannot live in NYC on $3000 a month... even if your rent is paid. So there is something very fishy going one here.
not the way a consul lives,, really.. a diplomatic life in NYC? It would be interesting to see how many of these consulates.. have their rent paid for them//
I am just saying that 36k or even 56k in NYC is poor. So the people who are getting these jobs are most likely rich to begin with
as in the US

MA, not only the rent, the bills are met as well: power, water, telephone and so on. kids, i think, go to special schools and that's fully paid for as well. then all the travel too, including a holiday trip home. there are lots of perks. costs of official dinners, embassy bills, lesser workers (security, cleaners and so on) are also met.
those salaries - if really at this amount - are low, thou. but then this is a job for life, you get moved around until you are 50 or so and get a "job" signing papers or "consulting" that you continue until retirement.

well an American who is a top guy at an NGO here or anywhere in the developing world will have all those perks and will be making $150k.. I am not saying that the DR should be paying the same as the US.
But if the DR is paying ALL those expenses for ALL those Consuls and Vice consuls and everything..where is that in the budget.. under which of the transparency tabs?
And certainly these are political jobs.. since there is no civil service here so it really depends on which party wins.. ok I know that we are scheduled to have the PLD till, when is is 2036 or something?, but if the other party wins, all these guys are out of a job.
Just wonder if there is anywhere where it states what the "perks" are?
Sure, if 24or 36k is just for your groceries and clothes, you are doing ok even in NYC.

ok .. found my answer in the Juan Diaz article.. they hide the salaries in various different budgets
Todos los embajadores aparecen en la n?mina oficial del ministerio con sueldos de 3 mil d?lares al mes, pero esa cifra oculta la realidad de que por otro lado reciben asignaciones muy superiores por concepto de gastos de representaci?n, vi?ticos, para vivienda y oficinas. La mayor?a de los embajadores reciben entre 10 y 20 mil d?lares mensuales, pero los hay que llegan hasta a 40 mil, como los casos de Washington y Madrid, que junto a Puerto Pr?ncipe son las ?nicas tres que tienen residencia y oficina propiedad del Estado dominicano. Hay casos en que se pagan compensaciones desde el Banco Central, la Oficina de Promoci?n de Exportaciones, Turismo o la Presidencia de la Rep?blica. En Espa?a, por ejemplo, lo que recibe el embajador supera el sueldo del presidente del gobierno espa?ol, que el a?o pasado fue de 84 mil euros. A la tasa de 1.29 d?lar, equivale a 108 mil 360 d?lares, divididos entre 12 da 9 mil 30 d?lares mensuales.

not to mention the fact that they have gazillions of these drones all over the world.
