GoogleSince coming into power in 2009, Gov. Luis Fortuño (R-Puerto
Rico) has cut government spending by 20 percent, lowered taxes and
raised the territory's bond status to its highest rating in 35
years - all during a punishing economic climate.
Gov. Fortuño sat down with Reason Magazine Editor in Chief Matt
Welch to discuss Puerto Rico's turnaround, federal immigration
policy, the drug war, education reform, his support of statehood
and a possible future in mainland politics.
