The task force behind Puerto Rico's proposed Planning and Permits Code, introduced by the governor, has been criticized for lacking academic diversity and expertise. According to experts, the group's proposals for reforming the permitting framework are not supported by metrics or rigorous studies.
The proposed code aims to reform the permitting process in Puerto Rico, but experts argue that it falls short due to the lack of evidence-based decision making. The task force's limited expertise and lack of academic diversity have resulted in proposals that are not adequately substantiated.
