C/P SOME FOR YOU FOR ME...NAMES CHANGED TO PROTECT THE GUILTY

"Recently it was the tale of fiscal manipulation by the ex-mayor (Aguon) of Ordot-Chalan Pago and how he managed to waste away his village's budget funds. His claim that it was 'his' budget tells a tale. I contend it is NOT his money, it's taxpayer money and should be used in the interest of his village or the island.

I think the mayors should be stripped of their slush funds and be required to submit requests for services from a central office. DOA most likely. Some agency that can be better monitored as far as the control and use of scarce funds. Now there's the tale of Carmen, who had the good sense to not attempt re-election, being a part of some suspicious financial wheeling-dealing. And has the fast talking Frank Aguon and Rory Respicio trying to mitigate the situation.

Are there any honest politicians on this island besides Klitzkie and
Palacios? It's puzzling that we read about all the services that can't be provided due to shortage of money. Yet we continue to read about the extravagances of some. Money down a black hole...
This must stop. I have the distinct impression that my taxpayer dollars(last year nearly 20K) are just going to waste and paying strap hangers for suspcious 'services'.

Here's what got me 'going' again and I end this with a few questions. Is anybody in charge on this island? Is it possible that such suspicious activity can be investigated and a stop put to it? And can't the monies be recovered and returned to the General Fund?"

Auntie's comments of course is that......we sit idly by....yawning, doing nothing.....tht banditos and banditas will get away with it because we let them! When we get tired of the games, the games will stop......and not a minute more....unless of course, the AG puts a stop to it.....and that'll have to wait until he finds a new office which we didn't bother to help him save.......oh well!
