Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has sponsored a tax refund for Puerto Rico residents that could pay out more than $50 million over the next 10 years.
She's the sole sponsor of a bill letting some Puerto Rico residents � who pay no federal income tax � get child-credit refunds on their Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Clinton's camp declined yesterday to say why the former first lady wrote the legislation, but politicos say the move is obvious: Puerto Rican support is crucial to her re-election � and a potential White House run in 2008.
