Hurricane Dean is the most intense tropical storm in the Atlantic Basin since Hurricane Wilma of 2005. It passed just to the south of Jamaica on August 20 causing major damage to homes, roads and businesses. The storm hit the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico around 3:30 am on Tuesday in the area of Chetumal. The big resort areas of the northern Yucatan coast, including Cancun, were spared a direct hit. Belize also received strong winds and rains. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Dean made a second Mexican landfall Wednesday afternoon near the town of Tecolutla in the Veracruz State as a Category 2 storm with top sustained winds of 100 mph. Dean's projected path is 400 miles south of Texas. Mexico and Texas coasts will experience large and potentially destructive waves, and the large quantity of rain is predicted to bring flooding to areas surrounding the storm.

Controversy over the direction and type of development and growth of the city of San Miguel that resulted in the temporary suspension of a multistory condo project continues to prompt local social activism.

In response to residents' demands, the Mayor has scheduled a presentation and discussion on municipal development next Tuesday, January 16, at 6pm in Teatro Santa Ana, which will include input from city authorities and guest specialists.

News: Underground Cables in San Miguel de Allende
|
|
San Miguel de Allende still suffers from visual pollution caused by unsightly cables. Ten years ago, the city began to bury cables in Centro, mainly electric lines, but cable television and phone lines have remained in public view.
On October 10 of this year, the city began installing underground lines in the centrally located streets of El Chorro and Piedras Chinas as part of a general program for Centro; work began on Recreo on October 23. Neighbors were informed that the project would be completed in three weeks. Seven weeks later, and despite numerous complaints from neighbors, the work continues.

News: Aguinaldos - Christmas bonus
|
|
The aguinaldo (Christmas bonus) is an annual bonus that all employers must pay their employees at the end of the year. Article 87 of the Mexican Federal Work Law establishes that the minimum aguinaldo must be the equivalent of 15 days of salary. Payment must be paid before December 20 of each year. The law also establishes that employees who have worked less than one full year have the right to a proportional payment of the aguinaldo according to the period worked.
Although the law does not specify it, the aguinaldo is normally calculated according to the latest salary received by the worker.
