Environmental Police
Today's DIARIO LIBRE publishes a full-page ad (on page 11) with the eye-catching graphics of two towering industrial smoke stacks spewing a sooty cloud in the shape of a skull. A caption reads:
THINK

I know someone that has been fighting the Jaragua Hotel for almost 2 years because of their planta stacks spewing smoke over the buildings and school behind it. Even the Diario Libre has covered the story a couple of times.
Guess what? Nothing has happened, nada!

Robert, can you get some pics to me? we'll put them on the blog. We got people from the power plants in PP emailing us after we posted Alan's pics of their smoke stacks.

Hotel Jaragua power plant contamination
If my memory doesn't fail, I believe this case went to court in late 2004, and Hotel Jaragua was ordered to turn off the contaminating generators, later there was an agreement of sorts with the neighbors.

Well, if they're still emitting and we can get current, dated pics to show that they didn't stop, let's post them and let the Jaragua try to explain it away...

I'm pretty sure some pics were posted on the forums at the time.

Chiri, I believe those pics were taken before the case was decided. I'm talking something more recent, that would show (if this is the case) that the problem continues

I know. But you're mising the point: is it still going on, and if so, can we get CURRENT pics of it?
