Rep. Espaillat: NYC Is Doing a Better Job Helping Puerto Rico than the Trump Admin

RUSH EXCERPT:

ESPAILLA: "The people in New York City are doing a better job than the administration." 
REID: "Celebrities are being very proactive. Where is Congress in this? Is there going to be a bill to deal with Puerto Rico’s debt? There’s talk maybe this crushing debt should be the done away with. Congress could help. What is Congress doing? 
ESPAILLA: "I came out with a ten-point plan which includes mediate funding. We didn’t do it last week. We have to do it this week. We’re going on the third week of this crisis. Municipalities have paid close to over $180 million towards the debt. We should return some of that money and put a moratorium on the debt. If the fat cats in Washington want their money back, they better make sure Puerto Rico gets back on its feet. Otherwise they get nothing. This is important not only for the fiscal health of Puerto Rico, but for saving lives. This crisis continues to unfold every day." 
REID: "Saving American lives and people should just remember that is what this is about."
