PR RESIDENTS SUE PREPA FOR FRAUD

From Reuters:

Local residents and businesses sued Puerto Rico's Electric Power
Authority (PREPA) in federal court on Tuesday, alleging fraud
in the fuel oil procurement process that plaintiffs said resulted
in island residents being overcharged by more than $1 billion.

The lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico accuses PREPA,
one of the largest U.S. public utilities, of taking kickbacks to
accept millions of barrels of fuel oil from suppliers that did
not meet contract requirements or federal environmental standards.

"As a result of this scheme, PREPA overpaid its fuel suppliers
for fuel oil and passed through the entire cost of the non-
compliant fuel oil to plaintiffs," the lawsuit alleged. The
lawsuit covers oil purchases since 2002.

FAJARDO AIRPORT TO CLOSE PERMANENTLY

From Caribbean Business:

On January 21, 2015, PRPA, sponsor of Diego Jimenez Torres Airport,
informed the Federal Aviation administration (FAA) that the airport
will close permanently on April 30, 2015. Diego Jimenez Torres is
a small 94-acre non-towered, general aviation airport.

DORAL OFFICIAL ARRESTED FOR FRAUD

From The San Juan Daily Star:

Federal authorities on Monday morning arrested a Doral Bank
official and an executive whose company contracts with the
bank on charges of financial institution fraud, misapplication
of bank funds, wire fraud and money laundering. U.S. Attorney
for the District of Puerto Rico Rosa Emilia Rodríguez announced
Monday that last week a federal grand jury returned a 30-count
indictment charging Annelise Figueroa and Rolando Rivera Solis.
The FBI is in charge of the criminal investigation,Rodríguez
said. According to the indictment, Figueroa was an employee of
Doral Bank and vice president of the Property and Facilities
Department.

From News Is My Business:

learned Tuesday. That drives the number of confirmed retailers
to just short of three dozen.

Let Puerto Rico Go Bankrupt by noreply@blogger.com (Admin)

The Puerto Rico Monitor

Opinion

BloombergView

In an ideal world, Puerto Rico would be bankrupt. Instead, it is sliding
toward something far more dangerous and uncertain -- and President
Barack Obama and Congress need to intervene.

On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee is taking up a long-shot
bill to allow the island's public-sector corporations to declare bankruptcy.
Providing these protections isn’t any kind of a bailout. It will just help
Puerto Rico’s government begin to ease a debt-servicing burden that
consumes 16 percent of its budget. It will also ensure that not just the
biggest or loudest creditors get paid.

This crisis has been a long time brewing. Since 2006, Puerto Rico's
economy has contracted every year but one. Its unemployment rate of
13.7 percent is double that of the U.S. mainland; its poverty rate is twice
that of Mississippi. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico's population and tax base
have aged and shrunk...[CONTINUE READING]

This essay does not judge or condemn Luis Muñoz Marín.

We all know that President Barack Obama, Governor David Patterson
(New York) and Congressman Trey Radel (Florida) used cocaine, Mayors
Marion Barry (Washington, D.C.) and Rob Ford (Toronto) smoked crack,
and innumerable politicians and CEOs do a little “something something”
on the regular. But 70 years ago, a divorce, an abortion, or a drug addiction
could end any political career.

CUBAN MIGRANTS RESCUED FROM MONITO

Photo: U.S. Coast Guard

From Local 10:

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued eight Cuban migrants from Monito Island,
Puerto Rico Wednesday afternoon, following a two-day rescue effort in the
Mona Passage. Authorities said the seven men and woman were spotted
Tuesday afternoon by a Coast Guard pilot who was on a routine patrol
in the Mona Passage. Authorities said the group was stranded at the
bottom of a 150-foot cliff of the uninhabited island, which is a natural
reserve and serves as a bird habitat.

DUTCH TRAVELER KILLED IN HIT AND RUN

Globetrotter

and sailor Laurens Higler, age 26, was killed this
morning on Road 3 in Guayama after being struck by a car. The
driver fled the scene after the incident. The deceased, who was
from Holland, was stopping off in Puerto Rico during his travels
around the globe. Police have stated that they have recovered
physical evidence which could lead them to the driver who struck
Higler.

GOVERNOR DEFENDS IVA TV MESSAGE

From The San Juan Daily Star:

Gov. Alejandro García Padilla on Wednesday defended his most recent
pre-recorded televised message, in which he justified his proposed tax
reform and the 16 percent value added tax. “What this message was
about, at the end of the day, is to be able to speak to people directly,
and there is a public purpose that is priceless,” García Padilla said in
TV interview. “We are talking about a profound transformation and
all transformations convey resistances.”

EIGHT MURDER VICTIMS IN LESS THAN A WEEK

As reported today by El Vocero, eight people were killed -- mostly in
shootings -- between Tuesday afternoon and early Friday morning.
The incidents were reported in Hato Rey, Santurce, Yabucoa, Bayamón
and San Lorenzo. This week's murders bring the total for the month to
20, five more than at this time last year. So far, 103 violent deaths have
been registered in Puerto Rico, 27 less than last year.

MOODY'S DOWNGRADES UPR BONDS

From Caribbean Business:

Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded $489 million of University
of Puerto Rico University system revenue bonds to Caa2 from Caa1 and
$73 million of educational facilities revenue bonds, 2000 Series A issued
through AFICA to Caa3 from Caa2. The outlook is negative.

The rating differential between the university system revenue bonds and
the educational facilities revenue bonds reflects the subordinate pledge
and lease structure of the educational facilities revenue bonds.

DORAL BANK GOES TO CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY

From Reuters:

Doral Financial Corp filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on
Wednesday to wind down its remaining operations two weeks after its
Puerto Rico-based bank subsidiary was seized by regulators. Doral
Financial's bankruptcy is the latest reminder of the financial crisis on
the island, a U.S. commonwealth, which has been mired for years in
an economic slump. The bank has also been dogged by accounting
problems and an employee was recently indicted for money laundering.

L: Laurens Higler. R: Gerardo de La Paz.

A man suspected of killing Dutch globetrotter Laurens Higler
after hitting the traveler with his car and fleeing the scene has
turned himself in to police in the town of Guayama. Gerardo de
La Paz hit Higler, age 26, while the latter was riding a skateboard
along road PR-3 sometime late last Thursday. The body was found
the following morning by a local resident. Police have indicated
that no charges are being pursued against the suspect so far. De

PR GETS 1ST INDEPENDENT GOVERNOR CANDIDATE

Lawyer and businesswoman Alexandra Lúgaro, age 33, has declared
her intention to run for Governor of Puerto Rico in 2016 as an inde-
pendent candidate. This makes her the island's first ever gubernatorial
contender who does not belong to or publicly identify with any political
party. Lúgaro is in favor of gay marriage, abortion rights and marijuana
legalization, and has also expressed a desire to tackle issues such as
income inequality. Lúgaro is currently finishing a doctorate in Madrid
and is the founder of a student tutoring company in Puerto Rico.

LAURENS HIGLER'S FRIENDS' TOUCHING LETTER

The travelling companions of deceased Dutch globetrotter Laurens

Higler, who was killed last week in a hit and run accident, wrote a

moving letter to the people of Puerto Rico regarding the recent

tragic events:

LEGAL ISSUES SEEN WITH IVA RECEIPTS

From The San Juan Daily Star:

The Justice Department said Monday that Puerto Rico could
be held liable if merchants are banned from separating the
value added tax from the final price of items on receipts.
“The restriction against merchants separating the IVA [the
Spanish acronym for the value-added tax] from the final
price could be challenged in the courts because it interferes
with free speech rights,” Assistant Justice Secretary Rafael
Ortiz said. The proposed tax reform measure leaves it to the
Treasury secretary to decide whether the IVA should be dis-
played separately.

14 ARRESTED, 1.1 TONS OF COCAINE SEIZED

From Fox News Latino:

Agents of the United Rapid Action Forces, or FURA, of the
Puerto Rican police, seized 1.1 tons of cocaine and arrested
14 Dominicans, most of whom were waiting for the drug to
arrive from a boat off the northern coast of the Caribbean island,
officials said. Puerto Rican Police Chief Jose Caldero said
the boat had sailed to the estuary of Rio Grande de Loiza river
and that the drug had a street value of some $32 million.

PUERTO RICO UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN TO 12.4%

From Caribbean Business:

Puerto Rico Labor Secretary Vance Thomas announced that the
unemployment rate for January stood at 12.4%, representing the
lowest figure since 2008. "Data from the recent employment survey
show that the unemployment rate adjusted for January fell to 12.4%,
making it the lowest reported since August 2008, when it was 12.2%,"
Thomas said Tuesday. He added that the rate is 1.3% lower when
compared with December 2014 (13.7%) and 2.5% down from
January 2014 (14.9%).

UPR AGUADILLA PROVIDES TAX SERVICE

From News Is My Business:

The University of Puerto Rico in Aguadilla announced Tuesday
it will be offering free help to low and middle-class residents
to fill their federal income tax return, Saturdays from 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at the campus library through April 11. The UPR-Agua-
dilla Virtual Center for Assistance to Taxpayers (known in
Spanish as the VITA Center) is part of an alliance with the
UPR-Mayagüez western region VITA Center.

There is a most unusual TV interview of Gov. Luis Muñoz Marín on
YouTube. The interview occurred in March 1954, just after the
Nationalist attack on U.S. Congress that was led by Lolita Lebrón.
(NOTE: This video was shared on Facebook by the Fundación Luis
Muñoz Marín in 2013.)

During that time, Muñoz Marín had rushed up to Washington, D.C.
to assure the world that he (and the rest of Puerto Rico) did not
condone the actions of these “lunatics, fanatics, fascists and
Communists.” This is how Muñoz Marín described the Nationa-

PRODUCE FROM DOM. REP. QUARANTINED

From Caribbean Business:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP), through its Field Operations
Office, announced Wednesday the implementation of a federal quaran-
tine order suspending imports of fruit and vegetables from the
Dominican Republic due to the Mediterranean fruit fly, or Medfly.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), through its Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issued a federal order
(FO-2015-14) to immediately prevent entry or the introduction of
vegetables and fruits from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. to
avoid the introduction of the fruit fly, a very damaging pest.

CROWLEY ADDS FREIGHT CAPACITY FOR PR

From News Is My Business:

Just as Puerto Rico businesses are starting to feel the pinch of a
slowdown in merchandise imports in the wake of Horizon Lines’ exit
from the market, maritime shipper Crowley announced Thursday the
addition of a new flat-deck barge capable of carrying up to 400 loads.
The barge is scheduled to arrive in San Juan on Monday with a full
load of cargo for the island. The vessel’s deployment “marks an
important milestone in Crowley’s rapid response to the sudden depar-
ture of Horizon Lines from the Puerto Rico trade,” the company said.

HOUSE SPEAKER: 12% IVA MOST VIABLE OPTION

From The San Juan Daily Star:

House Speaker Jaime Perelló said Wednesday that in all probability
the value added tax would be 12 percent and not 16 percent as pro-
vided in the Tax Transformation Act legislation fi led by Gov.
Alejandro García Padilla. The Puerto Rico House of Representatives,
after listening to more than 100 agencies and individuals, is now
in the process of amending the proposed reform. The House is eva-
luating establishing different rates of the value-added tax (IVA
by its Spanish acronym), but on Wednesday Perelló said lawmakers
are leaning toward a 12 percent rate.

MAN WHO KILLED HIGLER COULD GET 8 YEARS

Gerardo De La Paz, the driver who killed Dutch globetrotter Laurens

Higler in a hit and run last week, could face up to 8 years of jail time

without parole for leaving the scene of the accident. Police are conti-

nuing their investigation in Guayama.

Puerto Rico law would brand parents of obese children 'child abusers' by Richard Luscombe in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Saturday March 21st, 2015 at 8:28 PM

Puerto Rico | The Guardian

The controversial bill would allow the government to ‘educate’ families of obese children and levy increasingly heavy fines against those who fail to lose weight. Many are outraged: ‘I could lose my daughter because I feed her? It’s ridiculous’

Nikhol Cruz Cepeda doesn’t look like a victim of child abuse. She has a wide, sparkling smile, enjoys spending time with her family and close circle of friends, and is doing well at school. Like any young teenager, she is a little shy when you first start talking to her, but she warms up quickly and is soon chatting happily about maybe working in science when she completes her studies.

Her mother, Wandalee, is a devoted single parent who works hard at her job in a busy Puerto Rico car rental agency, in order to send her 14-year-old to one of the island’s best private schools. She says she has no bigger priority than steering her daughter towards adulthood in a happy, healthy and safe environment.

It's the culture in Puerto Rico. You see a skinny baby and people will say it needs feeding up. Is that child abuse?

She sent him [to school] every day with two slices of pizza. She didn’t see that she was the one hurting him.
