Roberto "Bobby" Ramírez Kurtz (born October 29, 1959) is a Puerto Rican politician and the current mayor of Cabo Rojo. Ramírez is affiliated with the Popular Democratic Party (PPD) and has served as mayor since 2013.[1]
In 2017, Bobby Ramírez Kurtz implemented the "Orange Initiative" (Iniciativa Naranja in Spanish) that was met with controversy. The initiative establishes that the citizens must buy the orange trash bags provided by the trash collecting private company that operates in Cabo Rojo if the citizens want their trash to be collected.[2] Kurtz stopped "Iniciativa Naranja", after days in court, because the government gave funds to Cabo Rojo's junkyard that would last at least 5 years.
