President Medina, Electoral Board chief mull funding crunch

Santo Domingo.– A Central Electoral Board (JCE) committee, led by its president Roberto Rosario, met with president Danilo Medina on Friday to discuss the agency’s financial woes, a concern that local media have reported in the last few days.

After the meeting, Rosario Marquez said the encounter was requested by the JCE last week, and "answered promptly by President Medina, who received him and talked a lot."

In addition to the JCE president, the committee included Cesar F. Feliz, coordinator of the Electoral Board Budget Committee; financial director Diomedes Ogando; Secretary General Hilario Espiñeira, and Communications director, Felix Reyna.
