Career
Mayoralty
Alfredo García Green served as mayor of Loreto from 1993 through 1996. He was one of the few Mexican Municipal presidents to avoid a major financial upheaval during office without getting any public debt (the only one in the Baja California Sur state during that term) and left the office to his successor without any financial trouble. During his term, he applied innovation in public services in order to improve the city deficient services (waste collection, water supply, municipal taxes registration system, street cleaning, street pavement). He worked with the NGO "Grupo Ecologista Antares" in order to promote a national park in the Loreto area, which was finally created in July 1996 by presidential decree. He had problems with the public workers' union (which members worked for the then ruling Partido Revolucionario Institucional party) and with State Governor Guillermo Mercado Romero, who denied central government grants to the city of Loreto.
