New Federal District to Include Suburban Mexican Towns
The new Mexico City government takes over suburban towns from annually elected councils. Towns will join the federal system under health, comfort, and sanitation priorities. The governor, health president, and public works director form a governing board with the capital as the head. Municipal councils cease to govern, becoming consultative bodies with limited powers and veto rights on measures affecting the district. Modern Mexico advances reforms in district administration and public welfare.
