Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Teachers and people who work for DOE aren't known for having tons of money to spare so they're probably banking on that last paycheck for spending money for the trip to the states to visit family, friends or medical trip planned to happen during the summer. Whatever the reason, DOE and some other govGuam employees were made to wait anxiously for their checks this last Friday, many calling the Big Show to complain about being kept in the dark.
It was a very hot day, traffic made it worse because it was bumper to bumper and making eye contact made one know that road rage ruled the streets of Marine Corps Drive near where that power pole decided to burn up....it was Friday the 13th, only....it wasn't...it was just another red letter day in a red letter balance sheet, about $3 million dollars worth...you see, the lady at the government office(I think she was at the department of administration(maybe BBMR?) called Travis Coffman and told him that she couldn't release the checks unless they could guarantee that they (the checks) wouldn't bounce....the government only had $2 million dollars in the bank(I don't know if she was supposed to tell Coffman that, but he got it out of her)and they needed $3M more........when they got the $3M, they released the checks........and at 4:36pm(I think) tired,anxious and upset, employees got paid.
Tell me, if Friday's scenario was a thermometer for whether or not the government was ready to implement increments do you think it means we're ready for such an extreme? Can you imagine? We can't pay current bills what makes us think we can handle giving two govGuam employees an increment......even if it is deserved.........it's just not the time and if the governor's advisor say it is, then I say, fire him.......or her.....immediately!
