The American citizens of Puerto Rico did not come to us after these disasters with their hands out.
We respectfully ask this Committee and Congress to help us address some additional challenges that we are facing in our ongoing post-disaster reconstruction.
Congress should call for a vote on the political future of Puerto Rico and commit to implementing the will of the majority.
We need to improve our energy system so we don't have this power disruption for so long after a major disaster.
