A group of representatives for Puerto Rican consumers, businesses, industries, and workers warned Sunday that the legislative approval of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority Revitalization Act will deliver “a mortal blow” to the island’s already critical economic situation.
Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla on Thursday submitted a bill to the legislature that proposes a sweeping overhaul of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, with the goal of “providing clean and reliable energy at the lowest possible cost.”
Legislation authored by Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) aims to significantly strengthen reporting requirements for hedge funds, large privately organized, pooled investment vehicles not available to the public whose primary investors are wealthy individuals or institutions.
