In force for almost three years, the Access to Information Law still faces problems to be complied with in Rio Grande do Sul. According to a study released by the State Audit Court (TCE), only 20% of city halls and 5% of city councils meet the main items required by law.

Among the main criteria with low performance, are the disclosure of the administration of public assets (real estate and vehicles) and registration of expenses.

“These are aspects that have not yet had good adherence. In the assessment of the executive branch, for example, only 11% of the municipalities discriminated against the vehicles they own. And in the expense record, our assessment is that it must appear in an easier way for the citizen. We found that he was often there, but without tools ”, points out auditor Renato Lauris.
