Since becoming mayor of Caguas nearly eight years ago, William Miranda Marin—a firm believer that government should be a facilitator, not an obstructionist—has striven to make the island’s fifth-largest city a business-friendly, high-tech haven that attracts industries, educational institutions, businesses, and new residents.
The Las Catalinas Mall Station in Caguas would become a hub where various modes of transportation [buses, taxis, private carriers (minibuses)] and parking for 2,000 vehicles (park-and-ride) would be accessible to residents of Caguas and neighboring municipalities.
Whether it is making a commuter train between Caguas and San Juan a reality or fighting the high rates the State Insurance Fund charges municipalities, Miranda Marin said mayors have the legal and moral responsibility to say what has to be done and to fight for it.
