Since Vieques got shut down and Roosey Roads Naval Statiion dried up (along with the all those civilian jobs and hundreds of million dollors/yr to the PR economy), they have to find some other institution to demonstrate against. Maybe they can shut down some more jobs on the eastern part of the island :)
One: is north of the island, two: what jobs? And it didn’t really affect all that much, what hurts the most is all the pharmaceutical products that are produced in the island and then taken to the states, and also that the entire income that the companies makes of them goes to the states except the workers salaries.
