GOOD EVENING TO ALL - PETITIONS FOR ELECTIONS FOR PRESIDENT OF THE PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE WERE DUE YESTERDAY AT 4 PM. THE ONLY CANDIDATE TO SUBMIT PETITIONS WAS NELSON BUTCHIE NIEVES. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REACH MR. RAMON LUIS RODRIGUEZ TO NO AVAIL. I HAD BEEN INFORMED EARLIER IN THE WEEK THAT RAMON HAD A PASSING IN HIS FAMILY. I ALSO INFORMED RAMON THAT I WOULD BE HOME RECOVERING FROM SURGERY AND HE COULD BRING THE PETITIONS AT ANY TIME. BUTCHIE AND I HAD A DISCUSSION YESTERDAY AND BUTCHIE REQUESTED THAT WE EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO 8 PM TONIGHT. ONCE AGAIN, I LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES FOR RAMON ON HIS PHONE AND ON FACEBOOK AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RETURN MESSAGES. WE HOPE THAT ALL IS WELL. HOWEVER; AS ELECTION CHAIRMAN I HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO ADVISE EVERYONE THAT DUE TO THE FACT THAT BUTCHIE NIEVES WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE TO SUBMIT A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF SIGNATURES, THE DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED TWICE, I MUST DECLARE NELSON BUTCHIE NIEVES THE ONLY CANDIDATE AND THEREFOR WINS THE ELECTION BY DEFAULT. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE HIM AND WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK. THE ELECTION COMMITTEE WILL MEET ONE MORE TIME IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE NEW PRESIDENT AND HIS NEW COMMITTEE.
