The Northeastern Ecological Corridor (NEC) dies due to Congressional apathy in Puerto Rico

    Perhaps it was to be expected.  The "authentic" senators--those who had opposed the Pedro Rossello clique, voted "against" the Northeastern Ecological Corridor by not allowing a vote for the P de la C 2105 bill.  Kenneth McClintock, Jorge de Castro Font, and Carlos Diaz are in too weak a political position, and they wanted to send a strong signal to the greater forces in politics--corporate influence--that they were going to be loyal to the Luis Fortuño band.  It is alleged that supposedly there existed a Senatorial majority in favor of the measure, but it is all too easy to claim this without there actually being a vote on the Senate floor.   If the rest of the Senators already know the political weakness of the "authentics" forced them to oppose the bill, then they could all too easily proclaim a vote of favor without actually having to publicly show this vote.  Allowing the issue to drag until the last moment to then try to fix it in the style of James Bond does not excuse them from culpability.  That is to say,  the ENTIRE Senatorial body was an accomplice in the fall of the measure because they did not show any strong opposition to Carlos Diaz's restriction, whom presides over the committee in charge.  (Something similar had occurred in Germany prior to World War II.)  The only congressman who forcefully expressed himself was the independent Victor Garcia San Inocencio--and he did this from the House of Representatives to which he belongs rather than the Senate floor where the bill was killed.
