The Dragon Mart continues to twist and turn. The construction permits were rejected by our county, Benito Juarez. In celebration, a group of Puerto Morelians marched, thanking officials for defeating the measure.
[During the march, they also collected signatures on a petition to prohibit the (ongoing) construction of another gas station on the mangrove side of the highway intersection. For a bit of perspective: The ground here is extremely porous. Surface spills filter to underground aquifers in matter of several minutes -- It is actually pretty amazing. Obviously, we can all see why a Gas Station isn't really the best idea on the edge of our ecologically-sensitive mangrove. So, even if we can't stop its construction, we can vote with our business. Can we all collectively agree to boycott the joint? Thanks!]
However, the Quintana Roo Governor who supports the project, recommends that developers take the project to court in order for them to decide the project's fate.
So, the Dragon isn't done breathing fire just yet...
