Calderón paid $98,614 to municipal lobbyists for their efforts towards the withdrawal of the Navy from Vieques.

Sila Calderon was governor when the Vieques issue came to a head. What I didn't realize was that prior to her governorship, as mayor of San Juan she was already involved in agitating against the Navy.

Clearly, as mayor this goes quite beyond her jurisdiction. And it sounds like fraud to me.

Her political party used to enjoy almost total hegemony up until the 60's but no more. The only way they can hope to win elections is by pandering to the far left and borrowing voters from the pro-Independence Party. Being any-Navy was just an easy and cynical calculation for the Popular DEMOCRATIC Party.
