Congressional Bills on Puerto Rico, and Public Funding, Gain Co-Sponsors

September 29th, 2009

In the last nine days, bills in the U.S. House of Representatives to provide for public funding of congressional candidates, and to provide for a plebescite on the political future of Puerto Rico, have continued gaining co-sponsors. HB 2499, the Puerto Rico bill, now has 170 co-sponsors, five more than it had on September 20. HR 1826, public funding, now has 90 co-sponsors, four more than it had back on September 20.

    Richard, could you post some kind of analysis (however brief you want it to be, of course) of the public funding bill? I’m not sure what to think about it, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

    It’s probably best if people read it. Just go to http://thomas.loc.gov and put in the bill number, HR1826.
