Same location as garbage bags

That's right, Dan. Everyone will not just simply follow. That's the reason that international agreements on a myriad of issues which have a global effect are required.

Some people seemingly have a problem for every solution. Ocean pollution is a global crisis. First world countries should be leading by example, not by finger pointing at others while shunning their own responsibilities. Some of these topics were covered in the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement which the U.S. abandoned and is now defunct.

Biodegradable bags

Two different units of measurement make it difficult to get the picture.

The folks who wanted more enforcement of moving violations by the Transit Police are certainly getting their wish. At any given time these days there are 2 to 3 motorcycle officers between Boquete and David who are equipped with radar guns and breathalyzers ..and they’re busy.

Water OFF on Thursday September 12th from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm in Alto Boquete from Colegio Benigno Argote south to El Frances to make some connections to the new system.

The numbers at least reflect stability.

“Whoever has the Gold makes the Rules” ..or pays to have someone ignore them. This case was about a scam project from the word Go during the Martinelli era, where nothing was accomplished but millions of dollars disappeared. Among others, a former VP was involved which led to Superintendent of Banking forcing the sale of Banco Universal. Maybe the decision will be appealed.

This is the Mayor's email address, available for anyone who didn't get a chance to express their opinion about the proposal at the Public Meeting which was convened for that purpose. alcaldiadeboquete@gmail.com

As expected

Any additional taxes on tourists, airfares, or airport landings will be a huge mistake, imo. Panama needs to stay competitive in those areas.

Bob Gregory made an important announcement on another site, which I don't want to copy and paste, regarding a new clinic in Boquete . Maybe someone can give him a nudge to share it here.

Constantly increasing hurricane insurance costs encouraged me to sell my interest in a condo in Hilton Head, South Carolina a few years ago. Hurricane coverage is just another expense, such as HVAC, that isn't required to live in or around Boquete.

Over to you, Jeff.

Only because it's a start.

Climate Change has been a principal agenda item for world leaders at the G7 Conference in France this weekend and was the subject of a major bilateral meeting this morning. It was voted to send $20 million to the Amazon basin nations to assist in fire fighting there. Canada’s Prime Minister offered to send $15 million in aid and water bombers to the region. Most notably, the President of the U.S.A. did not attend nor did he participate in any discussions on the subject. Instead he chose to speak about increased U.S. production of fossil fuel in the form of LNG gas. He also criticized alternative energy wind farms. This is discouraging for the rest of the hemisphere, including us here in Panama.

Why should Panama become a dumping ground for rejected U.S. asylum seekers? These folks are not from Panama and they passed through other countries before reaching here.

Local Diputado and former Mayor Manolo Ruiz has presented a bill for consideration in the National Assembly which would change the term of vehicle license Plates to 5 years. https://twitter.com/asambleapa/status/1163594926774521857?s=20
