A panel of songwriters, singer-songwriters, musicians and visual artists approved an amended version of the Senate Debt Adjustment Program (PAD) on Wednesday in rejection of the Bill 1003 plan.
“As artists, and as Puerto Ricans, non-signatories raise our voices in rejecting Bill 1003, which seeks to impose itself and all that represents the Financial Control Board. Pedro Pierrelocci said in an open letter to senators and delegates Puerto Rico.
