Still no power in our area. The crew that was working here has been pulled out by USACE because they want to be responsible with the taxpayer money (or something).
The crew would have needed one more day to finish their job here and power up the area. ONE DAY!
USACE wrote:"While we remain focused on returning power to all Puerto Ricans, we are beginning a responsible drawdown of our current workforce to make good use of the federal tax dollars entrusted to us," said Colonel Jason Kirk, USACE Power Restoration Task Force lead. "The Unified Command is confident that we have the right number of restoration workers actively engaged and will not rest until we have the lights back on for all of our fellow American citizens in Puerto Rico."

Needless to say that the people here are sad, mad, disappointed, outraged, you name it. Whatever is behind this move, it shows that despite all the lip service "they" are not interested in helping the people of Puerto Rico.
I sent an email to colonel Jason Kirk to invite him to our area to talk with the residents but he did not answer (yet?).
