The following piece was developed by our colleagues at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). It was written by Nicholas Johnson, CBPP’s Senior Vice President for State Fiscal Policy, and it was originally published on CBPP’s website on February 9, 2016.
Puerto Rico’s drawn-out economic and fiscal crisis has prompted a series of debates on how to address a rapidly deteriorating socioeconomic situation. Amongst the options being discussed in the federal sphere is the establishment of a fiscal control board for Puerto Rico, similar to the one adopted in Washington DC, that would essentially command all aspects pertaining to government budgeting and spending. We strongly believe that this is not the only way forward.
