Legality of Puerto Los Cabos to be Investigated


Here is a news item from the Monday edition of the Baja Sur Daily News.

"The National Congress has approved carrying out a formal investigation into the legality of Puerto Los Cabos, requesting the Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat)to revoke the construction permits granted and order the repair of damages made to the San Jose estuary."

The news article goes on to recount the history of the Puerto Los Cabos project and the opposition to it. I thought to myself, this is sounding pretty good. Who knows maybe something can be done.

However, the last paragraph in the article says it all,

"THE RESULTS OF THE FERDERAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE SENT TO THE PRESIDENT, NOT THE CONGRESS. THEREFORE THIS RULING IS NON-BINDING."

So what we have is more window dressing for environmental concern. Officials have already been paid off one way or another, committments have been made, and the project is a done deal. Eventually, Puerto Los Cabos is designed to be home for over 400 boats which will make it the largest marina in Mexico. Jim Elfers, the former marina manager at Cabo San Lucas, is the the new manager at Puerto Los Cabos.

Let's see how Calderon responds. He seems to be a little different from past presidents.

We are skeptical because we have all seen what happens when our Congress sends toothless, non-binding resolutions to our President. Kinda like beating around the Bush.
