A few newsletters ago I published a post about how Guaymas is not obeying the law in the way in which they chose a Comisario for San Carlos and what the monthly budget is for San Carlos, according to the last administration in Guaymas. The below table was the monthly budget for San Carlos during the last mayoral administration.
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | SECRETARIA | 10,508.10 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | SUPERVISOR | 9,631.20 | |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | ADMNISTRADOR | 7,213.50 | |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | COMISARIO DE SAN C | 13,347.30 | |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | SUB OFICIAL | 20,475.60 | |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | CHOFER | 8,827.50 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | AUXILIAR GENERAL | 7,298.70 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 2 | PEON | 6,480.30 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | AUXILIAR GENERAL | 3,687.90 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | AUXILIAR GENERAL | 3,687.90 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | AUXILIAR GENERAL | 6,146.10 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | 1 | CONSERJE | 2,488.80 |
0409 | SAN CARLOS | AUXILIAR GENERAL | 3,630.30 |
The monthly total is: $ 103,423.20 pesos if I added correctly. Not counting bonuses, overtime or other benefits. Now anyone who has ever been to the Comisarios office knows full well that there are not 13 employees there. If you should happen to enter the Comisarios office you will find, if you are lucky, one secretary. If you are exceptionally lucky you might find the Comisario. Realistically speaking there are only two employees at the office. I think it is safe to say that the other 11 employees are completely made up thus fictitious. So lets do the math and find out how much money our illustrious PRI mayor of Guaymas and San Carlos, Otto Claussen, was able to put towards something else…..oh lets say perhaps a really nice, Casa Blanca or big white house over at La Marina Vista. Add together the two jobs that actually exist over there, Comisario and secretary. The Comisario gets paid $13,347.30 pesos per month and I do not for a second believe that his secretary who speaks no english actually gets paid $10,508.10 but for the benefit of the doubt lets just say she does. The total for those two jobs is $23,855.40 pesos per month paid out. Subtract this from the total monthly budget and you get $79,567.80 left over. I think it is reasonable to believe that at the very least Guaymas put that much money directly in it’s pocket every month! My favorite job title posted is the Chofer, can you imagine that the Comisario of San Carlos has a Chofer that makes almost 9000 pesos a month!
So take three years or 36 months, the term for mayor, and multiply it by $79,567.80 pesos per month and you get $2.86 million pesos that Guaymas got to keep!! That ain’t chump change, that is serious dinero. You can only imagine how many other projects the Mayor was able to skim money from. What could San Carlos have done with that money to improve the community? We have very little reason to believe that anything different is happening with the current mayor of Guaymas, Lorenzo Decima.
