Puerto Rican Follies
http://thecitizens.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 03/ puerto-rico-problems.html
The Washington Post reports that the Governor of Puerto Rico, Anibal Acevedo Vila, was indicted today (along with a dozen associates from his Popular Democratic Party) on 19 counts of conspiracy, fraud, and tax evasion associated with campaign finance violations. This comes after a two-year investigation by U.S. Attorney Rosa Emilia RodrÃguez. The Governor has not been arrested but has been asked to turn himself in. This has implications beyond the island. Puerto Rico's role in the Democratic contest this year has been discussed before, notably the recent shift in the date and format of its contest to select its 55 pledged delegates (as of March 6th, it will now be a primary on June 1st rather than a caucus on June 8th).
