LULAC's Puerto Rico Connection Confirmed
Rossello signed letter to transfer funds to LULAC
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2003.
SAN JUAN (AP) – Former Gov. Pedro Rossello confirmed on Monday that he signed a letter in which he authorized the transfer of $409,000 from the Children Trust to Latin United League of American Citizens (LULAC).
By law Rossello was the only one authorized to transfer funds from the tobacco companies settlement agreement in which Puerto Rican had been assigned for the Children Trust.
When first confronted by the letter on Sunday, Rossello said he would have to evaluate it because the signature could have been falsified.
However on Monday he acknowledged the signature was legit and claimed his innocence arguing that the funds were never released.
