Talk:Luis Fortuño/Archives/2012/January

Northeast Ecological Corridor

I have removed a recent edit, based on a Sierra Club link (one party in a very public controversy) that states that a former governor designated the corridor, and that Fortuño undesignated it in order to facilitate widespread development. As a matter of fact, Fortuño expanded the protected area, from 3,000 to over 4,500 acres, now is protecting all rivers flowing from nearby El Yunque National Forest, connects that Forest with the expanded protected areas and does allow very minimal eco-lodge type low-impact development in some parts of the Reserva del Este. Any inclusion of this issue should be drafted in NPOV fashion and sources should not be limited to one advocate organization. Pr4ever (talk) 14:13, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Rumored potential candidacy for national office

The sentence

However, his most recent denial does not entirely close the door on national candidacies in 2012 and cannot be considered Shermanesque

Seems to be pointless. This is an opinion and should just point at the fact that he said he won't run. I've edited it, please comment (and justify) if you think it should stay. --Ljvillanueva (talk) 20:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I won't quibble with your plausible interpretation of Fortuño's denial in the El Nuevo Día interview you linked to the article, but his "no intereso...no pienso en esas cosas" denial is not Shermanesque. He did not say "Si me lo ofrecen, lo rechazaría de plano" and I think the fact that he has not made a Shermanesque statement after so much recurring speculation thus far is a relevant fact in this section of his article. But I'll let sleeping dogs lie! Pr4ever (talk) 05:33, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
