Puerto Rico Oversight Board Sues Governor, Legislature

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

The Puerto Rico Oversight Board on Friday filed suit against a law that would scuttle the negotiated plan of adjustment for the central government debt, the Bond Buyer reported. The board filed an adversary proceeding in the Title III bankruptcy in the U.S. District Court for Puerto Rico against the governor and legislative leaders in defense of the negotiated plan of adjustment. Puerto Rico Executive Director Natalie Jaresko said that the law the board was suing against would derail four years of progress toward a consensual agreement.
