Veteran Puerto Rican leader to return in bid against statehood
Luis Muñoz Marín, Puerto Rico’s first elected governor in 1948, age 80, announces a return to public life after 14 years away to campaign against U.S. statehood. He spoke after a stroke slowed him, saying he will campaign in the country and towns but did not specify start date. Meanwhile in Washington, House Republicans block a provision expanding political participation by federal employees by limiting a new Senior Executive Service to a 13 month trial in three agencies, voting 14 to 7 to oppose broader use.
