To think that you can put that aside just because you are facing a public debt issue or facing a recession in Puerto Rico misses the point all together.
The people of Puerto Rico voted and chose permanent union with the United States through statehood as their path forward.
I will not support a deal that will bind the people of Puerto Rico with a bad deal for the next 30, 40, 50 years.
I am pleased to report that Puerto Rico is emerging from a challenging period with strength and optimism into a new era of stability evidenced by the island's economic upswing.
