First thing to be done is to haul in the corrupt mayor who co-opted CNN with bullshit lies all the while looting from the supply chain like an army privateer. Puerto Rico is corrupt throughout and the Dems like to keep it that way
lead not mercury....
Many studies show that high exposure to mercury induces changes in the central nervous system, potentially resulting in irritability, fatigue, behavioral changes, tremors, headaches, hearing and cognitive loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, and death.
Have you had your Mercury levels checked?
Truly, what needs to be checked - in every sense of the word— is the graft running rampant through San Juan
Puerto Rico’s government first started cutting benefits for food-stamp beneficiaries by an average of 25 percent during the first week of March. By March 12, more than 670,000 people had received reduced monthly food-stamp payments. The cuts were in effect for the entire program by Friday.
Congressional lawmakers knew of the deadlines for months. In January, House Democrats approved $600 million in additional food-stamp funding to finance the program until the fall, but the bill immediately stalled in the Senate, with the Trump administration releasing a letter calling the additional food-stamp aid “excessive and unnecessary.”
For Amadita Jimenez Gutierrez, 63, the food-stamp infusion meant a near doubling of her income, to about $200 a month. Although she has not been paying rent and fears eviction, the higher food-stamp benefit allowed her to cook more-healthful meals.
But this month, Gutierrez’s food-stamp benefit fell to about $115, while a small cash supplement under the program was also cut from about $40 to around $20. As she walks through an aisle full of cooking supplies, Gutierrez said, she will skip purchases of rice and beans this month, as well as detergent and cleaning supplies.
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló announced late Wednesday that he would resign, lifting a cloud of uncertainty over the U.S. territory and bowing to immense pressure from residents and other politicians amid a widening corruption scandal. He said his resignation would take effect on August 2 and that Secretary of Justice Wanda Vázquez would succeed him.
Rosselló announced his move after federal authorities carried out anti-corruption raids targeting his associates and private messages leaked to the media revealed him and his lieutenants disparaging a political opponent as a "whore," poking fun at an obese man and joking about feeding a cadaver from the island's backlogged morgue to a critic.
time to go throw some more paper towels
