A Florida couple has filed a class action lawsuit against the St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, arising from claims that the resort's employees secretly spied on and videotaped the couple, and other guests, in their private luxury suites. It is asking for $50 million in damages.
Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló urged Congress to consider Puerto Rico in the federal tax reform and to include the island in the Supplemental Disaster Relief Package that will attend the different natural disasters registered in the nation to ensure equal treatment for American citizens residing on the island.
The draft bill of the U.S. tax reform being considered in Congress has the potential to “catastrophically impact” the island’s economy, jeopardizing more than 70,000 well- paid jobs and more than 35 percent of the Commonwealth’s budget, Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association President Rodrigo Masses warned Monday.
