Our Participants About the Chamber: MCC is an independent, business educational, membership-driven economic-development organization. Its mission is to promote commercial, economic, business, and educational relations, and to facilitate trade and investment. MCC also will soon announce the launch of a new division: a Regional Center for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Such regional centers are an attractive way for Puerto Rico to raise funding. Raising capital via the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is quite unique compared with traditional sources of funding – and EB-5 is an exciting and ever-evolving industry development.

A primary goal of the Play Ball Summer Initiative is to reach kids who don’t normally play baseball. Building on the success of previous years, this year - over 255 mayors pledged to host Play Ball events in cities. Mayors were encouraged to engage youth, citizens, families, and city departments to organize community Play Ball events. From June to August mayors across the country hosted activities such as: baseball/ softball themed clinic days for park and recreation summer camps, playing lunchtime catch games outside of city hall, hosting pitch, hit and run clinics with Little Leagues, showcasing the pastime at the local international festival, as well as hosting baseball themed movie nights with pre-movie baseball drills that engaged families.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, on March 20, 2015 [CERTIFIED TRANSLATION] 2a To decide these consolidated cases, we must review the rule that we established in Pueblo v. Castro García, 120 P.R. Dec. 740 (1988). For the following reasons, we hereby overrule said precedent and hold that, pursuant to the constitutional protection against double jeopardy, and because Puerto Rico is not a federal state, a person who has been acquitted, convicted or prosecuted in federal court cannot be prosecuted for the same offense in the Puerto Rico courts. I A. CC-2013-0068 On September 28, 2008, the prosecution filed three charges against Mr. Luis M.

Luis Villares Sarmiento, with whom Yahaida Zabala, and Sanchez, Betances & Sifre, were on brief for appellants/cross- appellees Vera and Gonzalez in their individual capacities.

August 21, 2003 LIPEZ, Circuit Judge. This complex political discrimination case was filed by eighty-two plaintiffs terminated from career employment positions with the municipality of Adjuntas in Puerto Rico. The district court severed the plaintiffs into four groups -- three groups of twenty and one group of twenty-two -- and the claims of the first twenty plaintiffs are now before us on defendants' appeal from a substantial verdict for plaintiffs. Although this case raises many familiar issues, it also presents some unusual questions arising from the court's initial severance of the plaintiffs, and its later decision to apply non-mutual offensive collateral estoppel to the three remaining pieces of the severed litigation.

This plan fulfilled the mandate in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018. Under contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC) provided substantial support in developing this plan by soliciting and integrating inputs from a wide variety of stakeholders, contributing analysis where needed, and “holding the pen” to write the draft plan. The plan included an overview of damage and needs, courses of action (COAs) to meet those needs, costs of the COAs, and potential funding mechanisms for those costs. In September 2018, FEMA requested that HSOAC conduct several follow-on analyses to better target the efforts to implement the Recovery Plan, including an assessment of how FEMA can support the capacity of Puerto Rico’s 78 municipalities to fulfill their responsibilities in reconstruction projects. This report documents the results of that analysis, which assessed how municipal governments participate in reconstruction projects, aimed to establish a baseline for their current reconstruction capacity, and evaluated how postdisaster reconstruction has been carried out in contexts similar to Puerto Rico.
