Pizarro, Chair of the Puerto Rican/Latino Committee (PRLC), said his group and the Buffalo Dominican Committee, have just completed a proposal with all leaders in mind.  We need to reach out and meet with all our Latino community leaders, including our Latino businesses, and bring them on board in supporting the proposal.
