SAN JUAN - A U.S. Appeals Court on Monday gave Puerto Rico’s federally created financial oversight board another 60 days to allow for the constitutional reappointment of its members by President Donald Trump and the Senate.
Last week, the White House announced the U.S. Senate will be asked to confirm the board’s current seven members. The appeals court’s order sets a July 15 deadline for that process to be completed. The appeals court denied the board’s request to stay its ruling in the case until there is a final decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.
