The Secretary of State would be the next in line to succeed the Governor, but he resigned on July 13th, and hasn’t yet been replaced. The next in line is the Secretary of the Treasury. Francisco Pares Alicea was appointed as Acting Secretary of the Treasury by Rossello, after he removed Raul Maldonado. It’s anybody’s guess how long Alicea will be staying. He was previously the Secretary of Internal Revenue and Tax Policy. What a cluster-f*ck!
Your comments make my point about the inability of Central and South American countries to govern themselves. It leaves me wondering if it's genetic? When the odd “good leader” is chosen, he or she doesn't stay long, before the populous is chomping at the bit to elect another dictator (usually some prick from their military) with a line of bull$hit about how he's going to “fix” all their problems with Socialism. we went to PR for an annual sales meeting a number of years ago ( in place of our usual week in Hawaii). We never went back. Even San Juan was a comparative $hit hole of a city. While we were there, the wife of one of our number was taken ill and had to be hospitalized. The hospital staff stole the woman's jewelry and the care was so poor that her husband chartered a medivac jet and had her flown home to Atlanta to receive treatment.
