Puerto Rico Bill Debate Has Begun in Congress
The sponsor of the legislation, Anibal Acevedo-Vila (D-PR), was evidently taken by surprise and unable to attend the debate on his own bill today. Congressman Jose Serrano (D-NY), a Puerto Rico statehood advocate, denounced the bill because it salutes the island's current Commonwealth status. Serrano just demanded a roll-call vote. The vote will be taken after 6:30 p.m. More later.
