Leonel is just cooling off as he caught a lot of heat for donating $25mil from Estate funds to the privately owned hospital being built in Santiago while the public hospitals in SD stay falling apart. The Metro project is halted for the time being. But the Metro minister, the infamous Diandino who built elevated roads in SD with no drainage systems to keep rain water from flooding the elevated roads, had said that all the "studies" for the Metro project were done and in his office, but last week he said that his office is working at full steam on the (halted) project. I think Leonel owes him a lot of $ that Diandino "invested" in Leonel while in his election campaign, so Leonel is trying to pay him back and then some with the Metro jackpot. BTW, I think Diandino is a godfather to a Leonel sibling, so one hand washes the other.:bandit:<>:bandit:
BTW, I cant wait to see how the monorail/metro are going to handle the good old DR earthquakes.
