[edit] Predecesor
Munoz officially should not a have a predecesor on the info table, because the info table is only for DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNORS. Jesús Piñeiro was appointed by President Harry Truman, therefore he is not technically the predecesor of Muñoz Marín in the Order of Elected Governors User: Coburnpharr04 November 7, 2004 02:59 AM
- I have included Jesús T. Piñero as the "predecessor", but with the clarifying notation that he was the last Presidentially-appointed Governor. As a matter of fact, Muñoz was the last person to hold the title of "Governor of Puerto Rico" and the first to hold the title used in the infobox of "Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico".Pr4ever (talk) 21:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
I expanded the section on Operation Bootstrap. The article still needs to trace the emergence of Muñoz Marín's PDP (and his New Deal-style politics) in the context of both the independence movement and the Great Depression. The Great Depression underscored the vulnerability of the island's economy to fluctuations in the world price of sugar; and the Nationalists and the Socialists posed the first strong challenges to Puerto Rico's monocultural plantation model of development. More needs to be added on the relationship between the rise of Muñoz Marín and the PDP and these challenges. 172 07:28, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] The Gag law was passed in 1948 a year before Muñoz came to power!
I've been looking it up and it turns out that the Gag law was passed in 1948 a full 6 months before Muñoz became Governor...--PunkMaister (talk) 05:58, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
