Subject: Puerto Rico bill clears Senate procedural vote, looks likely to pass before default
A fix for Puerto Rico's $73 billion debt crisis cleared a key procedural hurdle Wednesday
-- all but guaranteeing it will become law -- as the Senate voted to
limit further debate and move toward a final vote on the bill.
The
cloture vote was 68 to 32. Though some lawmakers may switch their votes
when the Senate considers final passage of the bill, the vote suggests
that the measure will clear the chamber and reach President Barack
Obama's desk before Friday, when the island faces a default on $2 billion in debt payments.
Though he described the legislation as "obviously" imperfect,
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, "This is the best and
possibly the only action we can take to help Puerto Rico."
Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid also saw major flaws in the bill but called
the legislation, "a step in the right direction," while criticizing
McConnell for blocking efforts to amend the measure.
Proponents of the bill, including the White House and Treasury
Department, became particularly concerned earlier this week that
Democrats might withhold support for the legislation over provisions
they object to. These include a potentially lowered minimum wage, an
exemption from the Department of Labor's new overtime rule, and the
creation of a federal oversight board with broad powers.
At the invitation of Senate Finance Committee ranking member Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Treasury Secretary Jack Lew made a last-minute pitch yesterday to Democrats on that committee to rally support for the bill.
In an echo-though not a repeat-of a filibuster over gun control
led by Democrats earlier this week, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) held the
Senate floor for over four hours to voice his objections to the bill,
whose oversight board he has called "neocolonial." Sens. Bernie Sanders
(I-Vt.) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) joined Menendez last night for the
lengthy protest on what had otherwise been a fairly quiet evening on the
upper chamber's floor.
"As drafted?
- PROMESA exacts a price that is far too high for relief that is far
too uncertain," Menendez said of the bill during cloture debate Wednesday morning.
