It's hard to think of a public policy issue that affects more Bronxites than this one: Puerto Rican birth certificates will become invalid on July 1 as the result of a law enacted last December to combat identity theft.

A couple of must-reads for those affected and concerned about this: A Washington Post story, and this information from the government of Puerto Rico. (We learned of this via State Senator Pedro Espada's Twitter feed (@SenEspada).
