Yeah, I had to email the zoo for a simplification. The monkeys answered and said, "Monkey goood human baaad beurocracy goood". They also sent a message about bananas that would probably get blocked so I won't mention it.
The worst word is the one left unsaid...for imagination is our worst enemy! LOL

05-Noviembre-2009 | HÉCTOR MORALES
PRESIDENTE DE LA JUNTA DE PLANIFICACIÓN
El Corredor será preservado
Es un hecho que el Corredor Ecológico del Noreste contará con la delimitación de una reserva natural y un plan de uso de terrenos el 31 de marzo de 2010 o antes de eso. Este ha sido el claro mandato del gobernador de Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuño, a través de la Orden Ejecutiva OE-2009-42 firmada el pasado 30 de octubre de 2009.
Las interrogantes que han surgido a raíz de esta acción han sido:¿por qué la Junta de Planificación (JP) devuelve el plan al Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales (DRNA)?¿Cuáles son las incongruencias?¿En qué falló el proceso?
Para contestar estas y muchas otras preguntas debemos remontarnos al pasado intento de establecer una reserva natural en el Corredor.
El 5 de octubre de 2007, el entonces gobernador de Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá, firmó una orden ejecutiva (OE-2007-37) ordenando a la Junta establecer la reserva natural del Corredor y ordenando a Recursos Naturales a adquirir los terrenos en ella comprendidos para otros fines y propósitos relacionados.
¿Por qué es esto un problema? Una orden ejecutiva es una herramienta a la disposición del gobernador para impartir a las agencias del Gobierno la política pública que deben perseguir como norte al realizar y ejecutar trabajos.
Es entonces el deber ministerial de las agencias cumplir con el mandato legal que se les requiera, pero, claro está, siguiendo los requisitos procesales que sus leyes y reglamentos establezcan, según sea el caso.
Cuando la anterior Junta intentó establecer la reserva natural cometió varias deficiencias en el proceso, según lo establece su ley orgánica, Ley 75 del 1975, que ponían en alto riesgo la integridad de la reserva natural.
Algunas de éstas fueron tan críticas como no celebrar vistas públicas, excluir propiedades de alto valor ecológico y, peor aún, nunca despachar y notificar la resolución tomada por la Junta.
En cuanto al Plan Integral y de Uso de Terrenos propuesto, la pasada Junta había determinado que no podía aprobar el plan ya que la DIA se encontraba bajo litigio en los tribunales por los desarrollistas que deseaban construir proyectos turísticos en la zona del Corredor.

En mayo del 2009 la Junta decide revisar el Plan Integral y es en ese proceso que nos damos cuenta de los errores e incongruencias de la resolución emitida, que pretendió declarar la reserva natural.
Para salvaguardar los terrenos del Corredor decidimos, luego de un extenso análisis, que teníamos que hacer las cosas correctamente y debíamos subsanar los errores cometidos en el proceso. Esto así, el Plan fue devuelto a Recursos Naturales para su revisión y para la delimitación de las propiedades de alto valor ecológico, para que entonces, la Junta declarara la reserva natural en cumplimiento con el debido proceso de Ley, citando a vistas públicas y aprobando un Plan de Uso de Terrenos para el Área de Planificación Especial del Corredor Ecológico (APECEN).
Esta Junta de Planificación y el gobernador Luis Fortuño están comprometidos en conservar y promover un desarrollo sustentable para el Corredor y para todo Puerto Rico. Un área de planificación especial, no es otra cosa que el justo balance entre la conservación del ambiente y el desarrollo sustentable; incluyendo desarrollo social, económico y físico-ambiental.
La Junta tiene el compromiso con este pueblo de no analizar proyecto alguno, desarrollo o propuesta, hasta tanto no se establezca la reserva natural y se apruebe un Plan de Uso de Terrenos del Corredor. Por esto se aprobó una moratoria por el término de seis meses o hasta que se apruebe el Plan de Uso de Terrenos del Corredor.
Debe quedar claro que todo proyecto, desarrollo o propuesta, deberá ir acorde con los parámetros, reglamentos, leyes y condiciones que se establezcan en el Plan de Usos de Terrenos para el Corredor. Todos estamos de acuerdo que tendremos una reserva natural del CEN y un desarrollo sustentable que beneficie a todo Puerto Rico y en especial a Luquillo y Fajardo.

We all know that Kenneth McClintock and Jorge de Castro Font tried their best to keep this ecological corridor from being established. I wouldn't be surprised of de Castro Font took some of those bribes to keep it from becoming an ecological reserve.

OF COURSE the Republican Governor of Puerto Rico is going to open it up to development. Those developers provide a lot of campaign contributions. The nature preservers provide almost no campaign contributions. In fact, there are almost no ecologists in Puerto Rico. It's easy to tell by merely looking around.

The fortune generated by cement gave Puerto Rico its first Republican Governor. The politics of cement still runs the country.

OR... the Governor could have Puerto Rico's best fiscal interest in mind.

George Dubbya repealed most of the wet-lands protection legislation that President Clinton had signed into law. Development on sensitive areas began in haste. All politicians are corrupt at varying degrees.

Which Governor?--The one who declared the Ecological Corridor or the one who is dismantling the Ecological Corridor.

The U.S. is a declining power and most of the countries in the world are leaning to the left. Jorge I suggest you do you history on all the recent elections in Latin America. In Spain they have elected a socialist president and even when you look around other places in the globe for example that of Europe. A majority of Europeans would like a more regulated economic sector or some type of reform. The majority of them reject free trade, liberalism that the right nut-jobs always promote.

The PP is supposed to win Spain's next elections, in Italy, Germany and France, the Socialists have lost.

I have been following ALBA and its influence; but let's see how everything plays out in Honduras. It is there where both forces are (ideologically) fighting the current battle.

I am not inclined, one way or the other, just merely stating facts and trying to stir up a debate.
