PR-Gov. García Padilla: “I don’t give a crap about what the credit rating agencies think about me”

April 2, 2013

BY: JORGE BONILLA Comes now a near-meltdown from Puerto Rico’s governor, Alejandro García Padilla (D/PPD), in reaction to the island’s bond-market woes. Watch (via NotiUno 630) as AGP engages in some political chest-puffery and recycles his party’s “we don’t govern/legislate for the bond markets” meme. Munilanders everywhere will surely take note. I suspect he already … Read more

Bastiat is still right: ObamaCare application to include voter registration link

Q-poll: Crist crushes Scott 50-34, Sink up by 9

March 20, 2013

BY: JORGE BONILLA Alternate headline: Thanks for supporting teacher pay and Medicaid expansion, Governor, but you still suck. If the most recent Quinnipiac poll is any indication, Gov.
