Jenniffer González-Colón: “Are we going to ignore the will of the voters on the island and pretend that we know better than them?”

Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for your call yesterday and your well wishes, and I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to issues in Puerto Rico transportation.

I have introduced legislation that will add these crops as priority research areas for the Department of Agriculture.

Puerto Rico received a D-minus score by the American Society of Civil Engineers scorecard published in 2019 because the bridges, ports, and roads are among the lowest grades per individual category.

I will be supporting the continued funding of this program as well as of others in the budget request.
