WASHINGTON – After weeks of delays, House Republicans are moving forward with legislation to help Puerto Rico manage $70 billion in debt.
A revised bill introduced late Wednesday would create a control board to help manage the U.S. territory’s financial obligations and oversee some debt restructuring. Though it is the third version of the legislation, those objectives remain unchanged.
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rob Bishop, R-Utah, has led negotiations on the bill and has worked closely with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., congressional Democrats and the White House.

Since then, he has worked closely with Ryan to win over conservatives who worry it might set a precedent for financially ailing states and Democrats who say they are concerned the control board will be too powerful and favourable to creditors…
