MORE ARTICLES ON US SENATE ACTIONS ON PUERTO RICO's ECONOMIC CRISIS

My Comments: 
It seems to be a general opinion in Washington and the US, that Corruption and the Governments of Puerto Rico are partly to blame for our economic crisis. They define the reasons as due to fiscal negligence and mismanagement. So Washington is going to propose to place someone (THEY TRUST) to supervise what happens with Puerto Rico from now on.. 

BINGO! Grassroots lobbying works!

Apparently our friends in the US Congress the Obama Administration have finally understood our position that you cannot place the "goats to watch the lettuce".

"But Republicans have been steadily skeptical about the need for bankruptcy, questioning the years of fiscal mismanagement and letting the territory shirk on previously established legal contracts."
