The closing of that naval base in not a popular decision around here. We have a very large PR population. The welfare payments in PR are much smaller than in this state and New York, as a result a lot of folks have moved to this area. With the base being closed, there will no doubt be another large influx of people from South of Florida.
Some of these people are real go getters and have made a positive impact on the community, opening businesses, getting educations. However the % of people from PR who are on welfare is higher than any "racial" group in the state.
Yes, it's quite funny that they got what they asked for and now they don't like it. However, someone will have to pay and in part it's my state. Glad I don't have to pay state taxes.

Stay healthy,
Andy
