The president of the Puerto Rico Senate will visit Lee County this week as part of the effort to launch nonstop flights between Fort Myers and San Juan.

Kenneth McClintock will arrive Thursday for a two-day-long slate of activities organized by the Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

A reception, attended by elected officials and local business people, will be held that evening. While there, McClintock will discuss the direct flights and field questions about doing business with Puerto Rico, said Leonardo Garcia, the chamber’s executive director.”*

"In Puerto Rico where you all come from over 85 percent of the people turn out to vote in every single election, and somehow when we move to the mainland we try to keep our language, we try to keep out lechon asado (roast pork) we certainly keep our music, but sometimes we forget the one of the important things about being Puerto Rican is that we register to vote and you turn out to vote in huge numbers. And unfortunately up here on the mainland only twenty or thirty percent of Puerto Ricans register and vote in the elections and that’s like giving away part of being Puerto Rican." said McClintock.
