Ideas needed for lunch with Governor

Excellent ideas, but don't forget to mention the ability of foreigners to do their wills in a Mexican Consulate.

"Your honor, the foreigners at Lake Chapala want more marijuana and quieter dogs. They came to Mexico because they thought the drugs would be plentiful and cheap and they did not realize that everything else would not be perfect. Please make everything perfect. Please start by providing stronger pot and killing the dogs. Respectfully, Sr. Spencer"


Thanks for the good laugh !!!

Yes, the wills will be part of the legislative project.

What about the downtown Chapala amusement park?

If you don't mind out of your area ..... finish the damned hospital in Cihuatlan so we don't have to drive to Manzanillo

Spencer, I had this kind of opportunity in CALI.  I had the ear of quite a few State legislators.  
There are some tricks I used and found they worked.  

Politicians hate complainers. When you present a problem or issue, have a workable solution to present along with it.

Here is an example:  The governor already knows the roads in his State are in terrible shape.  Foreigners want better roads and services in Chapala.  The solution to fixing the roads is to create a "special tax districts" with those tax funds being directly spent within the district.  The program is to be administered by the State not local government to ensure the money is spent correctly. Politicians love new programs.

Now we wouldn't want to create an undue hardship on people.  There could be exemptions for low income citizens or residences assessed for less than 1,500,000 pesos.  Then the tax would fall onto the people that can most afford to pay. That will make it a much fairer tax.

The State Govt?

Why does Chapala transitory not do drivers license anymore. Is it because of the extortion / corruption?

That is what I heard but I do not know if it is correct.

Legalize pot for dogs & they'll shut up & mellow out.

Jaja reminds me of a cat I had once. We would put him under an ottoman and you guessed it.

I fully agree.

Also you might turn things around a bit and ask him how he thinks Ex-pats might better fit into/ contribute to Jalisco society.

Great idea, SunFan.

Si! Very nice idea and gesture.

I like this too.

BTW, I just had a close call. I posted a pretty snarky comment on TOB, thinking I was here. Fortunately I was able to delete it.
