The Center for American Progress has launched the “Puerto Rico Relief and Economic Policy Initiative,” a program that will focus on immediate-term hurricane response efforts for Puerto Rico, with an eye toward long-term planning, economic recovery, and solvency.
Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, visited U.S. Congress, along with former governors Pedro Rosselló and Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá, as part of the “Frente por Puerto Rico’s” mission to achieve the island’s inclusion in federal legislation related to healthcare, tax reform, and disaster recovery after hurricanes Irma and María.
A broad group of public and private-sector representatives from Puerto Rico are bearing down on Washington lawmakers this week, when a draft of the bill proposing an oversight board for the island is expected to be released and discussed during a hearing Wednesday.
