Puerto Rico: Willing to openly EXTORT other States to save itself? Second extortion letter

Pedro Cerame: Pedro, Pedro, Pedro – a second attempt at extortion (first one here)?  Really?  Is this the result of a failure on that first attempt – none of the Governors were impressed? Shouldn’t you know that threatening other States’ elected officials and their budgets is childish at best and thuggish in reality?  Doing it AGAIN shows that either YOU are crooked or that your CULTURE is – or both. Last time you only threatened Governors and their budgets; your Sword of Damocles was the threat of your citizens fleeing your State and going right onto THEIR doles.

Sidenote: it seems that the idea that your citizens, already on your dole, would move to become the wards of another State is…..puzzling.  Shouldn’t your efforts, instead of threatening others, be oriented in making PR a business powerhouse?  Or is that also a function of your culture?

This says a lot about your State and not just that the Federal money is about to run out (guess you didn’t pay much heed to Margaret Thatcher warning) that it has no problem in ruining others’?  What does this say about the morality of your leadership team (aka, your boss)?

This time, you decided to make it more personal – the most inflammatory ‘graphs are here:

…”We are here to alert you, the Orlando-area Puerto Rican community and all Florida taxpayers, about this important issue and the impact it will have on you, your neighbors, and perhaps your family members still living on the island,” said Secretary of State Rivera. “if not addressed soon, it will contribute to increasing the already high migration from Puerto Rico and cause severe strain on the Florida and federal budgets.”

…”We urge all Floridians to become aware of the matter and its impact on your family, community and your state and to write your representatives in Congress, and request their urgent attention to this critical issue now,” said Secretary of State Rivera.

The complete Letter is after the jump.  Like last time, I did have a little bitty response to Pedro:

Funny, I didn’t get a response.  Hopefully, Pedro and Puerto Rico won’t get much of one either.
