The Senate finance committee has rejected the idea of approving a US$90 million loan to finance the electro-mechanical aspects of the Santo Domingo Metro System. At least, not in 2006. Senator Tommy Galan, PLD-San Cristobal, reminded Senators of a note from Finance Minister Vicente Bengoa that requested all financing to be postponed until 2007. Galan also reminded the Senators that they had just postponed a US$37 million loan package intended to finance housing units for low-income families.
