La corrupción, ineptitud y Cerro del Vigía

Apareció un artículo iluminante en el periódico "La Jornada" con la fecha del 29 de marzo del año 2004 que yo acabo de descubrir. Creo que describe muy bien la corrupción e ineptitud que padece nuestro gobierno municipal, estatal y federal relacionada con la pérdida del Cerro del Vigía, lo que era zona ecológica y cuyo paisaje natural forma una gran parte de la atracción turística de nuestro destino, aunque también se hacen referencias a otras proyectos como Puerto Mio e Intrawest que también ahora manchan la imagen de nuestro entorno natural.

Update (& vindication)

A little while back I had asked many readers of my message board to communicate to their lodging operators their concerns over local security and the bay's pollution problems. I took a lot of flack from some readers over my request. Some called me alarmist, others said I was appealing to the wrong audience, others said some rather nasty things. Well on August 24 the hoteliers had a meeting with one of the mayoral candidates and what do you think their primary stated concerns were about? You got it! Security and bay pollution. I rest my case. ;~) (And thanks again to all who heeded my plea!) Some noteworthy replies from some of my message board readers:
"Though we're not in the bay, Hotel Las Palmas tosses our hat in the ring of your support. These key issues are our 'golden geese' in our special corner of the earth. Let's not let them get killed." Scott of Hotel Las Palmas
"Excelente Rob! Thanks for your work. Keep following your instincts. Let's keep moving in good directions. Bravo amigo." Laura of Casa del Encanto
