Lagoon dredging approved

From a purely selfish point of view, I worry more about whether or not the area in Centro east (?) of Cinco de Mayo and south of Morelos will be liveable during the dredging - and whether the smells emanating from the Las Salinas area will be less than, equal to, or worse than they were last tourist season.

No doubt about it. The dredging will cause that part of town to have a wonderful new smell, and yes, it will also certainly make the beaches less welcoming, but they are only authorized to dredge two small boat channels, not the entire lagoon as the politicians had boasted and tooted their horns so loudly about (I wonder how long it will take for their sycophants to realize they've been lied to and used?). So though they may ruin what's left of our summer vacation season in Zihuatanejo, which is already piss poor in Zihuatanejo although Ixtapa is booming with the All-Included hotel crowd, by this fall and certainly before the winter season the damage should have passed, unless they break the law and dredge the entire lagoon. Since the only thing the involved politicians are interested in is skimming from the millions of pesos budgeted for this project, I doubt they'll risk their livelihoods now that they've already had their hands slapped. But you never can tell in the pre-election campaign period. Folks seeking to suck off the public cash cow have been known to get greedy and wreckless.
