Lawmakers push to finish Puerto Rico rescue package before debt due
Senators and aides from both parties pledge to pass a White House supported rescue bill for Puerto Rico to avert a 67 billion debt payment due Friday. Treasury Secretary Lew urges Democrats to back the measure despite flaws while critics warn the plan favors creditors over island residents and may impose a central control board. The House has approved the bill and the Senate faces a Thursday vote to move it to the president.
