Thomas Rivera Schatz: “PROMESA is not working, and for proposing a fix to what is, in our opinion, unfixable.”

I wish to express my deepest appreciation on behalf of the Senate of Puerto Rico for the great interest you have shown in considering the affiliation of 4 million Americans residing in Puerto Rico.

we have certainly seen a lot of wasteful expenditures over the years, but the fact that we spent all this money and come up with zero in terms of anything being sent to Yucca Mountain is certainly one of the largest examples of wasteful…

This Committee should use its jurisdictional power... to enact legislation that will do away with our second-class status as a colony.

The status dilemma of 4 million American citizens residing in Puerto Rico is a civil rights issue.
