Fitch Ratings likes the idea of Puerto Rico being allowed to use Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy options, which currently aren’t available to the commonwealth, to restructure certain debts, saying Chapter 9 availability could benefit many bondholders and align any restructuring efforts with precedents in the U.S. muni market. The rating agency today called any extension of Chapter 9 provisions to Puerto Rico “a positive and important development for Puerto Rico and holders of debt of its public utilities and public instrumentalities.”
Fitch’s comments come a week after Puerto Rico’s congressional delegate today introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would allow Puerto Rico’s government-owned corporations to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, the same type of municipal bankruptcy protection Detroit sought last year. That move comes a month after the commonwealth passed the Puerto Rico Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act, which allows Puerto Rico’s public corporations to restructure their debts.
Fitch said the amendment would place Puerto Rico on an equal footing with the 50 U.S. states, which can currently use Chapter 9 to achieve debt adjustment for their municipalities, and would obviate the need for the Recovery Act:
The Recovery Act is an effort to fill the void resulting from the absence of a federal bankruptcy alternative. The Commonwealth has attempted to forge its own framework for orderly debt restructuring applicable to its public corporations, including the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) and Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA)….The extension of Chapter 9 of the US Code would not of course alleviate the immediate financial stress which PREPA currently faces. However, clarifying the rules for restructuring and aligning them to a federal standard with understandable precedent, albeit limited, and providing a federal forum for the proceeding would benefit bondholders.
Fitch says extending Chapter 9 to Puerto Rico would also reduce the risk of future actions harmful to holders of debt issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation, known by its Spanish acronym COFINA:
As a separately constituted, independent instrumentality of the Commonwealth, COFINA would constitute a ‘municipality’ under the US Code for purposes of Chapter 9…. As a municipality COFINA could file under Chapter 9 only if authorized by the Commonwealth and only if it could show that it is “insolvent” and had made a good faith effort to negotiate with its creditors or that such negotiation was not practical.

Washington, DC—Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi announced today that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), under the U.S. Department of Commerce, has allocated $740,299 in federal grants to support the conservation and management of fisheries in the waters surrounding Puerto Rico.
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said in a Wednesday radio interview that he has no regrets about his comments that Democrats are waging a "war on whites," and he suggested that Republicans should not appeal to different groups based on race.
Brooks' Monday "war on whites" comment, which stated that Democrats are using racial division as a political strategy, was in response to an observation by National Journal's Ron Fournier that Republicans need to better appeal to Hispanic voters.
Fournier appeared with Brooks on Dale Jackson's radio show Wednesday and read the GOP congressman a passage about targeting Hispanic voters, which came from the Republican National Committee's Growth and Opportunity Book 2013.
"If Hispanic Americans hear that the GOP doesn't want them in the United States, they won't pay attention to our next sentence. It doesn't matter what we say about education, jobs or the economy; if Hispanics think that we do not want them here, they will close their ears to our policies," Fournier quoted from the report.
The report also suggests that the GOP should target "Asian and Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Indian Americans, Native Americans, women, and youth."
Brooks -- who seemed momentarily confused that the passage was from a GOP document -- said Americans shouldn't be divided by race, as such a strategy would be "race-baiting."
"I don't care that you made the statement or somebody else made the statement that triggered my remarks, but that statement, that argument, is playing hand in glove with the Democratic race-baiting strategy, and it has to come to a stop," he said.
"I'm one of those who thinks that it doesn't make any difference if you're Hispanic, or you're white, or you're Asian, or you're black, people throughout America want to do what's in the best interest of America," he added.
Later in the interview, Brooks said that Republicans were not guilty of dividing the country because they had not made any attempt to appeal to Hispanic voters based on race.
"I don't know that the Republican Party has ever appealed to Hispanic Americans based on race," Brooks said. "Name a candidate, in the United States of America, who appeals to Hispanics based on their skin color."
Fournier responded, "It's hard to name one who's not," citing former President George W. Bush as a GOP candidate who appealed directly to Hispanic voters.
Brooks' comments did not sit well with the RNC.
"We are on the right side of the issues, but as the report noted, we have to take our message to every community in America," RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told National Journal.
Brooks said during the Wednesday interview that he was "thankful" that his "war on whites" comment had gotten so much attention, but he did not repeat the phrase. On Tuesday, he had said the only lawful form of discrimination in America was discrimination against whites.

Or are other factors at work?
Ferry service to la Isla nena
is being
disrupted once again. What else is new and just what is the end game?.
http://elvocero.com/denuncian-que-vieques-se-...
Or is this about making the ferry such an inconvenience that constructing the bridge becomes an all but inevitable solution to the problem?.
But, to
travel
to Culebra first ,in order, to get to the mainland is much too much.
I say the the department of
fish and wildlife
along with the islands
govt
should take full control and change the laws accordingly ,in order, to encourage the two islands as prime territory for all inclusives. They are perfect. Great beaches..... Most folks who stay at all inclusives just want to stay put at the resort and don't want to be bothered.
This all-inclusive model hasn't been made much use of much in PR besides Rio Grande's Melia which i stayed for a couple of nights at in 09 during a promotion they had there. It had just opened.
Vieques and Culebra coulld potentially be "prime territory" for a bastion of all inclusives. Besides, being a good "shot in the arm" for the island's economy and work for the few locals that will be hangers on if the islands are all but eventually depopulated.
Vieques is getting to be "candela", anyway.... Before its completely ruined. Depopulate it. It will never go back to the way it was years ago.
But, please, no bridge....... It will be nothing but day trippers and more headaches.
So, why not make good use of the locals and the twin islands great beaches and bring in some much need revenue for the island's tourism industry?
I would like to see our fellow forum poster Allen's views on this?.
If he thinks "its an off the wall" idea?.....It's OK. But, i would like to hear positive, respectable feed back. Pro or con.

Aug 6 (Reuters) - Puerto Rico and holders of debt of its public utilities will benefit from the introduction of Chapter 9 bankruptcy provisions governing the adjustment of municipal debt, ratings agency Fitch said on Wednesday.
"From a bankruptcy standpoint, the amendment would place Puerto Rico on an equal footing with the 50 States, who can currently use Chapter 9 to achieve debt adjustment for their municipalities," the ratings agency said.
On July 31, Puerto Rico's representative in Congress, Pedro Pierluisi, said he had introduced a bill to include Puerto Rico in Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Allowing the Commonwealth's entities to file for Chapter 9 would be a failsafe if the Recovery Act is struck down. (Reporting by Arnab Sen in Bangalore)
Allowing Puerto Rico’s public corporations to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection would benefit holders of the agencies’ debt as well as the commonwealth, according to Fitch Ratings.
Pedro Pierluisi, a Democrat who represents Puerto Rico in the U.S. House, introduced in July a measure that would let the island’s agencies restructure debt in court. They don’t have that option, unlike cities including Detroit and Stockton, California. The U.S. territory and its corporations have a combined debt burden of $73 billion.
Lacking a bankruptcy option, Puerto Rico approved a law in June that would allow some public corporations to negotiate with bondholders, potentially forcing them to accept unfavorable terms. Fitch cut the commonwealth’s rating deeper into speculative grade after the legislation passed, and its bonds declined. Giving the Chapter 9 option would allow investors to better assess potential losses, Fitch said.
“Clarifying the rules for restructuring and aligning them to a federal standard with understandable precedent, albeit limited, and providing a federal forum for the proceeding would benefit bondholders,” Fitch analysts said in a report today.
The restructuring law the island passed in June threatens Puerto Rico’s sales tax bonds, known as Cofinas, more than a federal bankruptcy alternative, Fitch said. The New York-based company cut the senior-lien bonds to junk on July 9, dropping them nine levels to BB-, the same as the commonwealth’s general obligations.
Extending the Chapter 9 option to the island’s agencies may bolster Cofina’s credit above that of the territory’s, Fitch said.
The new restructuring law would probably be withdrawn if Chapter 9 becomes available, Fitch said. That would end litigation associated with the measure from Franklin Templeton Investments and Oppenheimer Funds Inc., which have sought to have it thrown out in court.
The prospects of the legislation proposed by Pierluisi are unclear. Pierluisi, who can propose legislation but can’t vote on it, said he has no guarantees from Republican leaders that they would consider the legislation, which he plans to push once lawmakers return in September.

A window-washer and his wife were having drinks at a Harlem bar. When they quaffed their fill, she went out to get a cab: an average evening ending as average evenings do. But on the street, according to one account of the incident, “a policeman, mistaking her flashy clothes for those of a prostitute, ordered her to move on. A vituperative argument ensued, and the wife was knocked down with a punch in the eye. When the husband ran out of the bar with a friend to protest, he was also knocked down.” She got an assault charge; he, disorderly conduct.
This cop-citizen interaction might sound familiar to a New Yorker or, for that matter, the resident of any large American city — Detroit, Albuquerque, New Orleans — where police brutality has recently risen to the fore of public debate. The above incident isn’t new, however. It is recounted by Paul G. Chevigny in his 1969 book, Police Power: Police Abuses in New York City. Based on a study of police brutality for the New York Civil Liberties Union, the book is utterly unlike the dreary tomes of public policy one is likely to encounter today. Yet Police Power remains as relevant as many newer books on the subject.
Though rife with anecdotes of hippies who show up for court dates in “psychedelic cravats,” of cops barging in on gatherings of “obvious homosexuals,” Police Power is more than just a dispatch from a lurid New York on the cusp of its dismal Taxi Driver days. Instead, it is a prescient analysis of “street corner brutality” committed by men sworn to keep the peace yet often disturbing it. And while rooted in bad old Gotham, Police Power reaches beyond the confines of the city: “New York may not be typical, but its police problems are typical of the police problems of the nation.” That is as true today as it was 45 years ago. “The pattern of brutality remains the same,” Chevigny told me when I reached him by phone.
Since late July, much of New York has been outraged by the killing of Eric Garner, a Staten Island man who was put in a chokehold by a police officer after being caught selling loose cigarettes. An asthmatic, Garner died pinned to the ground, while screaming that he couldn’t breathe. Garner was black, the arresting officers white. His death has renewed complaints about the NYPD’s tactics, which were called into question during the contentious debate over stop-and-frisk during last year’s mayoral election. “They could’ve handled it a lot better,” Chevigny tells me, citing Garner’s role as an apparent peacemaker in a fight that had been taking place. “Those cops should’ve known who he was.”
This New York problem thrives well outside New York. The Department of Justice recently investigated the police department of Albuquerque, New Mexico, where officers killed 25 people — many of them homeless or mentally ill — in the last four years. Writing in The New York Times, one resident of that city accused the cops of propagating “sanctioned murder.” Even the gossip blog Gawker, usually concerned with Justin Bieber’s latest buffoonery, has taken note, publishing a piece earlier this week titled “It Is Time We Treat Police Brutality as a National Crisis.”
Chevigny saw all this coming. A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law, he seemed caught up in the Kennedyesque reformist spirit of John V. Lindsay, the mayor from the Upper East Side who some thought was bound for the White House (alas, New York governor Nelson A. Rockefeller made sure that never transpired). After participating in the Civil Rights movement in the South, Chevigny went to work as a lawyer in Harlem, where the issue of brutality by police officers came to occupy him, leading him to conduct the NYCLU study that became Police Power. (Today, he is an emeritus professor at NYU Law School.)
Unlike most of those today who delve into public policy, Chevigny knows how to write. Instead of assailing his readers with statistics, he tells stories that persuade with an appeal to basic humanity: two black men in Harlem arrested for doing nothing more than complaining about “the white motherfuckers that shot James Meredith,” the prominent Civil Rights activist who had desegregated the University of Mississippi; a Puerto Rican youth on the Lower East Side given “a good punch in the jaw” for hanging out in a park that was near a place where someone else was “raising hell.” The victims were often assaulted, handcuffed, taken to The Tombs and charged with disorderly conduct and/or resisting arrest, which Chevigny calls “cover charges” that give false, retroactive rationale for cop-initiated violence. Nothing here is as egregious as the 1997 case of Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant sodomized with a broom handle in a Brooklyn precinct house. Nevertheless, the cumulative portrait is a force loose from its moorings.
You can imagine — without condoning — why the cops overreacted in these and many other episodes: in 1965, the city had 836 murders, more than double the rate in 2013 (an astounding 334). But none of the victims in Chevigny’s study was a hardened felon out to rape or kill. For the most part, they were ordinary citizens engaged in a minor offense — or no offense at all. Yet in each, as in the case of Eric Garner, the cops responded with a lot of force and all too little reason.
Chevigny is an insightful analyst of police tactics, cool and clement when another might be self-righteous and histrionic. He notes that most acts of police brutality are not premeditated but, instead, “hotheaded reactions to a real or imagined insult… an act performed in a flash of anger.” That perceived insult, according to Chevigny, is what drives the cop to an inordinate response: “the policeman sees the defiant person as a troublemaker and a legitimate subject for the discipline of the law.” This may explain why officer Daniel Pantaleo sought to put Garner in a chokehold. The latter’s desire to be left alone — “Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today . . .I’m minding my business. Please just leave me alone.” — may have struck the officers as an affront, and a public one at that, captured by at least one camera.
As elsewhere, Chevigny is eloquent and incisive on this topic, perhaps because the thinkers of the 1960s were more frank in talking about race than we are today. He notes that “The middle-class man thinks nothing of saying, ‘Sorry, officer,’ but to the oppressed and downtrodden those words are galling” and that “minor irritations make every arrest seem an act of discrimination, even when it is not.” In other words, it wasn’t just about loose cigarettes. It never is.
In some ways, Police Power fell victim a bigger story, which is encapsulated by another book from that era, published four years after Police Power: Serpico, by Peter Maas. Frank Serpico — famously played by Al Pacino in the better-known cinematic version of the book — revealed the staggering corruption in the NYPD, an organization that seemed to rely on graft the way a steam engine relies on coal. His revelations, which led to large-scale reform via the Knapp Commission, overshadowed the less explosive but no less urgent findings in Chevigny’s book.
But the two are related. Maas writes of how the idealistic Serpico was astounded by the venality and indifference of his fellow recruits: “Nobody seemed interested in being a police officer in terms of what he could do, what he could accomplish… Serpico’s first formal class at the Police Academy reflected the mood perfectly — it was on how to get sick leave.”
Even the most strident critics will admit that the police — in New York, in Los Angeles, elsewhere, though not everywhere — have gotten better: less corrupt, more diverse. Yet the “broken windows” approach, championed by New York’s current police commissioner, William J. Bratton, evinces little tolerance for the kind of petty crime of which Garner stood accused. Here, again, Chevigny is elegant and persuasive, but, above all, judicious: “Let us keep in mind that all the acts of the police, even when abusive, reflect the prevailing attitudes in the society.” He might say, today, that fixing broken windows leaves us with bloodied hands.

But, argues that the country is going in search of greater union with the United States
Resident Commissioner in Washington, Pedro Pierluisi, thinks the former governor Anibal Acevedo Vila is looking for a language that the Popular Democratic Party (PPD) can defend against the federal government.
But foresees obstacles within the PPD and warns that "our people should not rely on any of the major components of your proposal as they would have to be negotiated and accepted by the Congress."
Acevedo Vila, a digital book that is now on sale, proposed to "refound" the Commonwealth, as a status with sovereignty, and base the next negotiation with the United States full control of the economic variables of the Island.
It has also proposed that the United States assume the payment of the public debt of Puerto Rico in exchange for a freeze on federal allocations that administers the government, which represent a third of American transfers and amount to about $ 6.400 million.
The first major task of Acevedo Vila is in the PPD, where the mere reference to a Commonwealth (ELA) sovereign scares conservatives.
"Obviously Acevedo Vila first have to convince his colleagues in the leadership of the PDP to try to finish the current territorial status and claim that America treat it as a sovereign nation under a partnership agreement. And then they would have to seek the support of our people for that, "said Pierluisi.
The Commissioner Pierluisi, who as president of the New Progressive Party (PNP) still statehood advocates a yes or no referendum, argues that "it is clear that our people want to strengthen and secure our union with the United States, instead of limiting or conditioning it."
To Pierluisi, the road that provides certainty to the island is that of statehood, the reference found in all 50 states, but also depends on the will of Congress.
"Leadership statesman of the island will remain vigilant so that they do not intend to confuse, if not deceive our people with unrealistic promises of American citizenship for our future generations pay the debt of our government and the same level of federal funding under a covenant or treaty of free association with the United States, "said Pierluisi.

Governor Alejandro García Padilla today refused to comment on the new proposal by former Governor Anibal Acevedo Vila on the future of the Commonwealth (ELA), and insisted that the discussion on the formula that will promote the Popular Democratic Party (PPD) should be in the internal structures of the community and not publicly.
García Padilla said that for more than a decade, the party leadership has insisted in public forums to discuss their vision for the route to be followed by ELA, and said that as leader of the PDP, will promote the discussion is organized and it does not become a "wild" debate.
"Under my leadership in the People's Party, the disruption in the way of discussing our differences ended. Now, if you really have arguments, we will discuss them in the Governing Board of the Popular Party," said the chief executive during a conference release in which announced the expansion of Montessori program in the public school system.
"As party president and as summoning this discussion, which is necessary for the unity of the party, I will not join the wild discussion of the topic, and I will discuss orderly," he added during activity in the School Sofia Rexach, in Santurce, accompanied by Education Secretary Rafael Román.
García Padilla noted that the next meeting of the Governing Board of the PPD is scheduled for Monday, but some members of that body have notified him to be out of the country during that time, so there is the possibility that the meeting be postponed .
Acevedo Vila published a new book that presents a new formula as a sovereign commonwealth status. Among other things, the former president suggested that the United States Government assume the public debt of Puerto Rico, and in return, freeze the volume of federal transfers that administers the State Government.
García Padilla declined to comment on the idea of Acevedo Vila, but hinted that he has some doubt as to their content. He acknowledged, however, that among members of the PPD there is hope that the new ideological forms ELA copper.
"The Popular Party has been too many decades discussing this wild way to an overnight stop, I understand that. As president, I'll reserve my opinion on proposed companions and my own way of thinking, which everyone knows, for formal discussion at the Board of Governors, "said the governor.
"All popular believe in the development of ALS in the ELA has to evolve

For the first time since I was arrested for leading and talking on cell intoxicated, Mr. Jaime Sifre Rodriguez Told in detail what, in His review, Happened That Night, In Which the former Secretary of Justice, Luis Sanchez Betances, who I describe as his "friend and brother", arrived on the scene.
