Presidential Visit to Loreto

Phil C - 4-20-2007 at 10:31 AM

From what I've been able to read, and my spanish isn't the best, it seems that FONATUR signed over the Loreto water system to the city of Loreto durring the visit to Puerto Escondido by the President. So Mr. Grogan dosen't "own" Loretos water anymore? Hope that is the case.

Is this the article referred to:

http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n247864.htm

I have to go back to my home office and I'll read it over there but my first questions is why is Dona;d Trump's photo at the bottom of this article without a caption?? HAHAHA

Phil C - 4-20-2007 at 11:40 AM

Yes Pam thats the one. Trump is pluging his condo development in Rosarito, being built next to the sewage outflow for part of Tijuana. For referance to my first posting... during an interview with Ted Donavon on Baja Talk Radio April 11 2006 segment 3. Mr. Grogan states regarding 19 wells in the San Juan valley,"We have the rights to all that water"

Life=water=supply=demand=money.

Shades of the LA-Owens Valley 'water war' of the last century.

History continues to repeat itself all over the globe. Middle East, Africa, Western US, now Loreto...

Here's a quick translation of what Phil is refereing to from the article that has Donald Trump's photo at the bottom but makes no mention as to why....

"Al fungir como testigo de honor en la firma del convenio en el cual FONATUR hace entrega al gobierno municipal de la planta de tratamiento y el acueducto de San Juan Londo, Calderon Hinojosa senalo que este paso permitira que el gobierno local pueda vigilar el uso racional del agua, impulsando la utilizacion del agua tratada en los proyectos de desarrollo y buscando soluciones a futuro, tal y como se ha logrado en el municipio de Los Cabos, con instalacion de una planta desaladora."

Acting as a witness to honor the agreement which FONATUR has delivered to the municipal government the waste water treatment plant and the San Juan Londo aqueduct, Calderon Hinojosa indicated that this process will permit the local government to look after the reasonable use of water, urge the utilization of treated water in development projects and look for future solutions such as that which was successful in the municipality of Los Cabos.

So what the hell does that mean? I dunno only translated what's there. so many preguntas, so little time.

back to work for me for several hours :saint:

Presidential Visit

As a future (and current part time) resident of Loreto, I am encouraged that President Calderon was here in Loreto yesterday.

Two prominent residents I know (my architect and my realtor) were both at the meeting, and told me that the development and water issues facing Loreto were the primary subject of discussion. They don't want Loreto to go the way of Los Cabos, either.

I love this little town. I'm going to keep a positive attitude, and have faith that our Harvard educated Sr. Presidente is going to keep Fonatur in check, and by default, the dreaded Loreto Bay. :yes:

Here's the Quetzalcoatl flying out yesterday afternoon, 6:30 pm.

Well I would be a lot more impressed if he actualy came to Loreto. He arrived at the airport then was whisked to Puerto Escondido where he innugrated the Mar de Cortez project because PE is the head port for this project then he was whisked right back to the airport and flew over town. He did not visit town like he was suppoed to maybe the open sewage running down the street scared him away from the reality that the real people face here. A realtor and an architect told you this, dont you think that they benefit greatly from attending a meeting such as this? :no: The real citizens that I speak to about this are a bit upset and disappointed, same as Fox but I at least can give him credit for actually getting off the plane.
