There was a video I found weeks back that gave a really clear and concise accounting of the whole economic debacle, plus a brief economic history. I'll try to find it again. Thanks for posting the article Second.

Saw a blurb on the internet that Con Ed of New York is sending workers to Puerto Rico to help with the electric grid.

The Latest on the White Fish scandal goes a little like this:
It seems that the contract voided by the governor of Puerto Rico had a 30-day notice clause; and so the company is still there working on the power problem until the end of the month.
1. Despite the above, work has met with a few problems (quelle surprise!) it seems that the power line that White Fish has worked on has gone down twice.
2. They are charging the government of Puerto Rico twice as much as contracted for hourly wages and for meal allowance.
Why should we care?
Cause we are paying for it.
Have a nice day!

I saw an interview Friday with recent arrivals from Puerto Rico (in Florida) and they stated that the death toll is much more than has been reported. Many elderly have passed away due to illness, dehydration and lack of medicine.
Next thing will be the spread disease - through wild animals, rats etc. A major section of San Juan has no electricity - still. A village within San Juan - Villa Capri - has a section where many elderly people live. It's been 90 days and counting.

I saw an interview of recent island evacuees that spoke of this; they said that many have not been reported due to the lack of communication throughout the island. Makes sense.
