Stefanik undecided on President Obama's Puerto Rico assistance plan
U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Willsboro, said she has not yet taken a position on President Obama's plan to help Puerto Rico restructure its debt.
"I'm reviewing the plan with my colleagues," Stefanik said in a telephone interview on Thursday.
Stefanik said if Puerto Rico was a state instead of a territory, it would have the option of declaring bankruptcy.
Earlier this year Stefanik co-sponsored legislation to make Puerto Rico a state.
Stefanik has received about $18,000 in campaign contributions from residents of Puerto Rico.
One contributor also contributed to E-PAC, the congresswoman's political action committee.
