This is the first time in four years that we heard some intelligent words from AGP | Eradicate the mosquitoes (of all kinds, types and persuasions), instead of creating the breeding grounds for them, that's another solution. And another boost and significant savings for the island 's finances.

This is the first time in four years that we heard some intelligent words from AGP. It means that he is not completely hopeless "bag of stones hibaro" as some of his political opponents paint him. Or, even more believably, that he finally went to the "Walgreen's" (the ones that still are left), bought some wax sticks, cleaned up his ears and started to listen to some good advisers:  
He recalled that there were only 2015 584 murders, "the lowest amount in nearly 30 years" and similar declines in the incidence of other crimes Type I take this opportunity to thank the Police Superintendent Jose kettles, by advances in public safety. The same made by highlighting achievements in Justice, referring to the head of that agency, Cesar Miranda, and prior to Education Secretary Rafael Roman.
He criticized the lack of word and character, referring to the lack of support for his initiative proposed by legislators of the popular majority. Meanwhile, freed from pressures of a candidate in an election year, he favored the legalization of marijuana and asked the senator Miguel Pereira project is approved for possession of limited portions of the drug is decriminalized. On the opposition to these initiatives, he condemned "the hypocrisy of many sectors in the country" and called for a health approach to address the problem of drug addiction on the island." 

Marijuana legalization might be a blessing for Puerto Rico, an economic stimulus and catalyst  that could help to turn the things around, bring more taxes and help to renegotiate the bond payments. 

No free ride, cabrones! No 50% haircut! No one will give it to you. America is loving but not stupid and is stern when it has and should be. Pay what you borrowed, and with interest, just like any one else, no special treatment for your seductive Spanish eyes. But if you can generate some extra income, and that easily, and with all these potential effects; hey, why not? It would be even better if marijuana growth and sales become the local government monopoly, with quality controls. Puerto Rico could make a mark with its progressive, smart and efficient drug policies (including the comprehensive treatment programs - that's your medical tourism, the addition and adjunct to the regular one) and turn it from the huge problem plaguing the island into the solution for the Caribbeans and the Americas. This will be one of the steps in turning Puerto Rico into the Switzerland of the Caribbeans. 

As for Zika, no reason to carry the habitual image and the role of eternal victim, including of the circumstances, in the hope of more give-out pennies of public funds. Eradicate the mosquitoes (of all kinds, types and persuasions), instead of creating the breeding grounds for them, that's another solution. And another boost and significant savings for the island 's finances.
