Former Southern District Bankruptcy Chief Judge Arthur Gonzalez will join a seven-person bipartisan team of legal and finance experts charged with helping Puerto Rico restructure its $72 billion in debt.
The Aug. 31 announcement from President Barack Obama naming Gonzalez, a Democrat, to the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico will give the bankruptcy law veteran a major role in working with the Puerto Rican government and its creditors to help get the country on the path to economic recovery.
