I welcome the announcement from President Trump of appointments to the Fiscal Oversight Board. These appointments combine maintaining continuity and institutional memory, in the renomination of Mr. Biggs, together with bringing in new members who I hope we can count on to bring a fresh perspective that allows moving on to a greater focus on Puerto Rico's social and economic recovery. Dr. Rosa's extensive experience in education planning is a valuable resource that should help bring forward attention to that critical component of any society's long-term development, Mr. Nixon's expertise on state government budgeting should let him see the importance of allowing the government of Puerto Rico flexibility in how the goals of restoring fiscal stability are met. The primary purpose of FOMB should be to find a way to make itself no longer needed, enabling Puerto Rico to once again take its own path towards prosperity and growth. I have always held that it is a matter of will and commitment to prove that we can do it, and I expect that we will be able to show this to the new members of the Board and together move in that direction. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
