Puerto Rico’s bankrupt electric utility ignored advice from its own lawyers before signing an expanded contract worth $300 million with a tiny Montana company to repair its damaged power grid, newly released documents show. The law firm, Greenberg Traurig, recommended that the state-run power authority be allowed to terminate the deal within 10 days for any breach by the company, Whitefish Energy Holdings. The firm also recommended that the utility be allowed to seek damages from Whitefish and the company be required to hold a bond for such a large contract, the documents show. Those recommendations and others were ignored as the power authority expanded a no-bid deal with Whitefish, which is based in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s hometown and had just two employees when Hurricane Maria hit in September.
This barker could hit Broadway, the way she dances.
The rescue dog's moves, caught on camera at a central Florida animal shleter, earned her the name Ginger Rogers, star of dance movies like "Top Hat," "Swing Time" and "The Barkleys of Broadway," which co-starred Fred Astaire.
Ginger hops on her hind legs when a shelter worker asks "Whatcha doing?" and sashays from side to side.
The short video, posted by on Orange County Animal Services, has been seen more than 250,000 times. The shuffling pup is up for adoption, or "looking for a new partner," as the shelter's video put it.
Ginger, who's 1 year old, was brought into the Orlando shelter on Monday, according to country records, and tested positive for heartworms.
At least one person has already applied to whisk Ginger out of the shelter, the records say, and staff later posted on Facebook that someone had adopted her.
