Puerto Rico is in crisis this week. There is a budget crisis that will have the potential consequence that over 95,000 public employees will be out of work until July, when the next budget begins. The House of Representatives has not approved -and it seems that will not approve- measures proposed by the Governor to avert this situation. As of Monday, most public agencies will shut down. To put this in perspective, the Commonwealth is the biggest employer in the island.
Although I'm not a public employee, many good friends are, who have families to feed and huge debts to pay. Hope that this will be solved by Sunday. I'm stressed big time.
