Most of the lands have been turned over the US Fish & Wildlife Service as a wildlife refuge. To me that means a caretaker role.

One must remember that RRNS and Vieques have been closed and reopened five times since WWII. The recent closing has actually been a windfall, imo, since most of the DoD resources are needed over at where the fighting is.

Maybe this is a good time to do a little property hunting...

Ah, so the agitators are going to settle there. How do they feel about this federal oversight?

Windfall? The U.S. Taxpayers have been forced to close 2 Naval facilities, by fire-bomb-throwing, Puerto Rican terrorists, that it cost the U.S. Taxpayers upwards of $30 billion dollars to acquire, build and maintain and the U.S. Taxpayers are supposed to perceive that as a windfall?

That's nuts. Could it be the water in Puerto Rico or is it the rum talking?

LOL!
