EDIT: No wait, they voted for statehood?   A lot of shit must of changed in 3 years.  I had a co-worker from puerto rico, and she said it was largely splitting to where it would stay how it was...

They did, but it was a meaningless referendum. Since Fortuno lost the governorship, I imagine they'll stick with the status quo.

Can the governor block it or something?  Puerto rico needs to figure something out, its like they are in limbo...

The best limbo ever.  Right now, Puerto Rico pays no federal taxes, but gets most of the benefits of statehood.
