Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley became the first Democratic presidential candidate to make a campaign stop in Puerto Rico this year as part of an effort to woo Latino voters.
He met Saturday with local legislators and residents to talk about their concerns as the U.S. territory tries to emerge from a nearly decade-long economic slump and struggles with $72 billion in public debt. O'Malley also was scheduled to attend a fundraiser Saturday night.
In a brief interview with The Associated Press, O'Malley said Puerto Rico should receive the same treatment as the U.S. mainland.
There IS no priming that pump.

ReplyDeleteWhy not, OweMalley?
It's tropical which means lots of rain. Slap on a Rain Tax and half of the problem should be solved, right?
He's just a lurking idiot; Biden wannabe without the plugs.
All Taxes Matter!
O'Malley for President of Puerto Rico! He has my vote.
ReplyDeleteHe would have to. Obama has helped all the Mexicans and points south. It would be racist if not.
ReplyDeleteHe is like a pimple on a forehead that just will not go away.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shrewd political move. If anybody knows how to manage a failing economy and raise taxes, it's Owe'Malley.
ReplyDeleteBut no help for Social Security for folks that worked for it!
