Delgado on Ohio’s “No on PR’s Birth Certificate”

El Nuevo Dia’s Washington DC correspondent Jose Delgado blogs about news yesterday that Ohio, like New Jersey, doesn’t trust most of the birth certificates issued by Puerto Rico government. (See  9/1, 8/25  PRPolNewsBlog entries.) Delgado’s posting quotes PR’s Secretary of State (equal to Lieutenant Governor in most states), Kenneth McClintock, criticizing Ohio’s actions and claiming the state based its decision on “lack of information” and is “insensitive” to the Puerto Rican population in the state.  If McClintock is right – and this is just a “failure in communication” – then PRPolNewsBlog hopes that sometime soon the Fortuño Administration, and Res. Comm. Pedro Pierluisi, will kick-off a much-needed conversation between the island and the states.
