I did some minor cleanup on the article; if you think I did anything poorly, feel free to change it back. I was wondering: the table says he was born in San Juan, and the text says in Hato Rey. So is Hato Rey a part of San Juan, or is this is a contradiction? Everyking 00:27, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Hato Rey is a suburb of San Juan. I will change the text so San Juan also, cause i understand that it might create a contradiction for those people who are not from Puerto Rico. Thanx for your interest on this article. User:Coburnpharr04, Feb 23, 2005
Puerto Rico has no lieutenant governor, and I did not put:
in the infobox instead, because this position is not equivalent to lieutenant governor. In the event of death, resignation, etc., of a Puerto Rican governor, succession goes to the secretary of state. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 03:31, Jan. 15, 2006

- I understand that PR does not have a lieutenant governor, however, the Resident Commissioner is the second most important political position of the island. That is why all of the rest of the governor;s articles have the resident commissioner instead of the Secretary of State.<<Coburn_Pharr>> 05:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
The article stated that under the Young bill, the so-called Commonwealth option was to be left out. This is incorrect. This status option was in the bill but it would cease to be considered a permanent solution to the status problem. Ergo, it would have to be renewed by a seires of referendums to be held every ten years.
To the whole discussion about governor or lieutenant governor:
Resident Commissioner is NOT the second most powerful political post on the island. That is a view of the position driven through by pro-statehood elements that believe in a close working relationship with Congress and believe that the House and Senate should have the biggest role in PR-related decisions.
The Secretary of State or the Secretary to the Governor is the closest thing we have to the post of Lieutenant Governor. That can also be defined or undefined, however, as one wishes.
[edit] please post a current event mark
the part "Under Federal Grand Jury Investigation for Tax Evasion" needs a current event mark. This information is not really proved at this time.
[edit] Interpretation of PR voting options
I'm surprised to see people still arguing that voting for a party slate and replacing individual candidate votes with votes for other party's candidates is either illegal or in any way means votes are counted twice. This is a PERFECTLY legal practice in Puerto Rico. The party mark identifies the voter as a supporter of a party for purposes of party certification and to choose the default slate of candidates to which the voter wishes to give his/her vote. It is them COMPLETELY LEGAL to mark individual candidates from the slates of other parties in order to take away the vote from a individual candidate from your party you do not support, and give it to the individual candidate from the other party that you do support. You statehooders ought to stop whining and lying about this. Flybd5 01:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Salvador
Can someone give a reference to his middle name? I have never heard salvador as his middle name. Not even the official governor website says so. Cjrs 79 01:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
