El Bronco orders audits in Nuevo León

Jaime Rodríguez was sworn in yesterday as the first independent governor in Mexico.

He also called on his officials to submit their financial, assets and conflict of interest statements this month and announced that all the agencies will be audited and if anyone committed a crime, he/she will be brought to justice.

Rlodríguez added that no one in his government will be a member of a political party.
