Johnson: Restoring Power Generation Is Key To Puerto Rico

U-S Senator Ron Johnson says its vital for Puerto Rico to step up its electrical production, as it recovers from Hurricane Maria. The Wisconsin Republican was part of a ten member congressional delegation that toured Puerto Rico during the weekend. They spoke with local leaders and saw about one third of the island while in the air — and 90-percent is still in the dark, even though many are using generators and three fourths of Puerto Rico’s gas and grocery stores are open. Even so, Johnson tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Puerto Rico needs its total power to maintain a strong economy — and without it, a recovery won’t happen.
