What is being done with the billions of dollars in aid? What are the plans? When will we see results?
We proved that when you treat us equally, we can do as well or better than anybody in the States.
We would like to be included in the SNAP program, and we are requesting that. It is only fair that we get the same nutrition assistance as our fellow American citizens in the States.
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.
