...FiCom’s policy of not funding transporation costs. Earlier in the year, the UC overruled FiCom’s recommendation and awarded $2,000 to cover transportation costs to the Mission Hill Afterschool Program.

And Fernández's party delayed implementation, which allowed a pipeline of infrastructure projects to go to favored contractors without the fuss of open bidding required by the new accord. That includes the subway contract, which went to Diandino Peña, who is Fernández's biggest financial supporter. "Transparency is an evil word here," says Kevin P. Manning, president of the local American Chamber of Commerce. Fernández has likened the subway to Paris' Eiffel Tower, which also faced opposition...
...most élite families will be in the dock. It's a case expected to go to the D.R. Supreme Court, which has been the focus of recent U.S. efforts at judicial reform.
