The first comes from someone at city hall.
Many people base their judgment of whether or not the mayor is doing a good job on whether or not the fiestas go off without a hitch.
To ensure that there will be power at tonight´s Miss Arenillas beauty pageant, he has instituded a program of roving blackouts.
Their logic being that if the mayor can´t even get the lights to work during the party, then he must not know what he is doing. But if he can turn the lights and sound on, then he has things under control and is doing a good job.
The second perspective comes from the Xinhua news agency:
The Ecuadorian government on Thursday announced a plan to ration electricity for two hours a day because the country's major dams have recorded low levels of water due to a prolonged drought.
The Paute-Molino central hydropower station on the Paute River generates about 35 percent of the electricity consumed in Ecuador.
The water volume in the river is now below its historical minimum, said Electricity and Renewable Energy Minister Esteban Albornoz.
Albornoz said priority would be given to the production sectors and residential zones would have the rationing of two hours daily till the problem was solved.
The drought has affected Colombia, which exports electricity to Ecuador, and has reduced its supply, Albornoz added.
You can decide which solution you want. The mayor better hope that if its option number two, that the power doesn´t go out during the pageant or Wednesday´s dances.
