The Senator for Samana Ramiro Espino said that if the Ministry of Environment takes too long to submit the bill with the ruling of development of protected areas, he would resubmit the bill the President has requested be put aside. Espino feels Moya Pons has had enough time to submit the bill. He backs the bill that would allow hotel development of the Cabo Cabron National Park, seeing it as beneficial for his province.
