Hold on a bit! It seems that our Minister of Tourism is mixed up in this and has signed an agreement with the French company for a 99 year lease on the land (shades of Hong Kong and Panama Canal!!!) and expropriating the 2500 tas. (800 acres) from about 50 campesino families who will receive an absurd amount for the land they are working. The Agrarian Reform will have to have a voice in this and so will the Congress.

The money works out to something like RD$33 pesos per tarea per year!! for the campesinos!!! Highway robbery.

Oh, these guys are so slick.....
