Personnel expenses Municipal Legislative Branch

Accountability is not yet a reality in Brazilian public administration but the legal requirement for transparency and the speed of social media mean that citizens are increasingly seeking information about public spending with the main focus being on the executive branch and not reaching the same proportion in the other branches. This study collected data from 28 municipalities in Santa Catarina located in the AMAVI region from 2012 to 2014 with the aim of analyzing personnel expenses in the Municipal Legislative Branch.
