The Federal Government cannot say that we "remain, as it is today, subject to the Territory Clause of the U.S. Constitution" in order to deny Puerto Rico the powers to solve our economic and social crisis, and now turn around and say they have no responsibility regarding our debt because the debt crisis is a "a matter of purely local concern."
Pierluisi argues against the federal government's denial of responsibility for Puerto Rico's debt crisis.

The American citizens of Puerto Rico did not come to us after these disasters with their hands out.
There has been a lot of progress in fixing structural issues in our schools.
We are devoting $1.3 billion of CDBG-DR funding for microgrids, distributed energy initiatives in remote communities.
We need to do public-private partnerships for both transmission and distribution and generation, and actually split the two so that there is no monopoly in Puerto Rico.
