A plea for Rio San Juan

[NewsWhore]

PLD deputy Isabel Bonilla is expressing her frustrations with government efforts in the Rio San Juan area, as reported in Hoy. She feels she has failed her constituents because President Fernandez has not been able to meet campaign promises of improving the sewage system, paving the streets and improving the low-voltage public electricity service in the area. She said that the aqueduct is the only project that has been completed, but it has not delivered as expected. She mentioned that the Playa Grande area has been affected by the extracting of sand for Cabarete beach to the west. Bonilla also complained that she has not been able to meet with the Environment Minister to look into the possibility of getting support from the Inter-American Development Bank for the Rio San Juan lagoon recovery works. She said that the Minister of Tourism argues that this is only a small municipality that contributes little foreign exchange, to explain government indifference.
