Will Cuba Angle Kill Port Tunnel?

Turns out the company that won the bid to build the highly anticipated tunnel from the Port of Miami to Watson Island has business ties in Cuba. So do the other companies that bid on the project.

Will one of Miami's most complex infrastructure projects ever disintegrate in the minefield of exile politics?

If it does, it will be a very SAD day. It would also show the , although different form than Cuba, censorship and political witch-hunting happens here in the US too. Especially in Miami!

Building the Port tunnel with a corporation that is a "Castro collaborator" ...no problem. All they need to do is follow the example of the Dade County School Board when they bought those kindergarten books that "went too soft" on the Cuban dictator--just throw a little business towards the local hardliners. For example the school board bought a ton of books from Valladares (Gosh,a new children's author)and voila, no more conflict. So, just spread a little tunnel business to the locals and everything will be sweet. Like, maybe include a ramp directly to the freedom tower's cafeteria.
