Bernie Sanders introduces bill to rebuild from American crisis in Puerto Rico & the Virgin Islands

Published on Nov 28, 2017

Congress and the White House must stand up and do the right thing for the people of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. As we rebuild from the disasters they recently experienced, it will not be good enough to go back to the status quo. That's why bill I and my colleagues are introducing today allows the islands to build back stronger.

The Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands Equitable Rebuild Act is cosponsored in the Senate by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif), Ed Markey (D-Mass) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass). Reps. Stacy Plaskett (D-VI), Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) and Darren Soto (D-Fla) will introduce a companion bill in the House.

On the down side, expect Republicans to use the press conference as evidence that the only thing Democrats (and Bernie the Independent) know how to do is tax and spend.
