allegations in the papers shortly before the elections. It will likely be a race btw ACDEC and Djangali's to the
DOJ and whomever gets there first, wins. . Lcdo. Celso said he was referring it, so I hope he did.
9) We actually won the hearings at OGPe, and Im surprised to learn board members did not read the press, or
that Lcda. Beatriz did not copy all ACDEC board members the ruling that the Djangali house is completely
illegal, and that their permit "gestor" threw employees of ACDEC under the bus when fraud was uncovered.
Djangali's implicated the ACDEC employees, and then accused the Mayor. Fraud is a felony offense in PR.
10) ACDEC does not have the wiggle room under law 66 to legalize, illegal structures. While its true the
other agencies do legalized illegal activities like this, or so they move when there is no credible legal
opposition, we wont let it happen to law 66. This is too important to Culebra.
11) The general public is fed up with this tourism mis-management being forced down everyone's throats at
the expense of local quality of life by the big island powers that be. That's why Ricky Cepero lost the
elections.
12) When ACDEC does not operate according to the law that defines it, it opens itself up to legal, and in this
case I feel even moral scrutiny, given the low income- public parcelas are clearky at risk. This is exactly the
social justice/ coastal zone management issue ACDEC was created to address in order to protect the
Culebrenses. The legalization of thenproject will force families with kids who cant sleep next to their party
pallace out of their residential neighborhoods, neighorhoods the municipality and ACDEC are supposed to
protect.
13) This action compromises millions in federal coastal zone managment dollars sent to Puerto Rico annually
with Law 66 as one of the few examples of a Coastal Zone Management Plan nationally, that has been
actually codified. Money ear- marked for Culebra by this program likely has never made it out of the DRNA
to get to Culebra for years.
14) If Tilsa failed to recuse herself from the vote, there could be conflict of interest, given that her husband
created an illegal landfill when he demolished and burried (without permits) Rolando's house on their
property and while on Djangali's payroll.
15) We are not going away on this and we TRULY RESPECT THIS MAYOR. It is truly frustrating to have
legitimate concerns continue to be ignored as this new ACDEC endorsement reflects.
16) I have remained rooted through many such hurricanes and against the typical accusations that we are
opposed to "local job creation." Accusations that were just as false when the Navy used them against those
defending the island from twisted NATO military target practice.
17) ACDEC and the Asamblea have been copied letters and a petition from neighbors against this projectalthough it does not seem clear if the board was even notified of this?
18) We know who the Djangali's are from a. well-documented illegal activities, b. lies about construction, c.
physical threats against neighbors, d. abuse of local police and courts to intimate neighbors and me, and e.
accusations against the Mayor and ACDEC employees.
Q. Where is the "fairness" in that decision for those legal, long-term resideintal neighbors?
