Background:

Puerto Rico Governor Asks for Whitefish Energy Contract to Be Nixed

The governor of Puerto Rico has asked for the cancellation of a highly suspect $300 million contract between the territory’s utility and Whitefish Energy, a Montana-based non-entity,  to repair the hurricane-stricken electric power grid.

Whitefish, which had only two employees previously, is reportedly based in the hometown of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Some of the wackiest terms of contract include a daily allowance of more than $410 dollars for food and accommodation per employee, more than $40,000 for helicopter-related services, and stipulates, “In no event shall [government agencies] have the right to audit or review the cost and profit elements,” and that the Puerto Rican government “waives any claim against contractor related to delayed completion of work.”

Mass Evacuation Ordered in Puerto Rico Due To “Significant Rupture” in Dam

Guajataca Dam: “Stay away, or be swept away”

More than 70,000 people living downstream from Guajataca Dam northwest of Puerto Rico are under order to evacuate, as the retaining wall threatens to collapse.

A fissure caused by heavy rains from Hurricane MARIA has become a “significant rupture,” the island’s governor told reporters.

Life-threatening flooding would occur, if the dam collapses, warned the National Weather Service (NWS).

“Stay away, or be swept away,” NWS warned.
