UTOPIA........WITHOUT DOLLAR FIGURES
Utopia......it's everybody's dream and if you read the gov's address on KUAM's website, you might think that the increment for the govGuam's employees would result in an utopia for them.........and pigs fly!
Yes, govGuam workers deserve their increments but the government has to priortize where it spends the money before it gives those increments out. I'm not going to repeat the list of ails it must address first. If you're reading this, I'm going to assume that you're smart and know which parts of the government are broken and need fixing.
If the government employees have waited this long, then they can wait a bit longer. People are literally dying waiting to retire from their govGuam jobs. Retirement Fund obligations need to be settled, et cetera, et cetera.
If the Chamber of Commerce has the back bone that it thinks it has, it'll stand up for the private sector and force the delay until their private companies that deal with govGuam are paid and brought current with accounts receivables.
We don't throw parties when we're broke. We don't give increments when we're broke, certainly, we give increments only after the company has shown a profit. Company Guam has yet to show a profit. Until that happens, no increments!
I think I know where the governor's heart is. Unfortunately, there's no money where it's at!

Read and agree with all you said Charo. Unfortunately you've once again wasted time and space if you think you're going to get through to Felix. He's already made up his mind and the public be damned. He well knows what is the right thing to do, but doesn't have the balls to do it. Catering to the GovGuam workforce is a sign of a seriously weak leader. What he is trying to do is patronize and win the favor of the GovGuam workers. That translates to voters and a very large block of voters, especially when you take into consideration the extended families related to the GovGuam workers. To date his performance has been so lacking, and nothing but glowing words of false hope, that I don't see him being returned to office. #2 would make a better leader. He impresses me as being smarter and stronger. I feel so let down by this administration. All that was said during the campaign has disappeared into the ether world. Or is it nether world? Wouldn't it be nice if we as a family unit could prioritize to suit our own purposes and the obligations be damned? What I see as necessary in this time of short monies is more of a sacrifice from the government employees. Something the rest of us have had to learn to do and deal with under this and the last administration. It's patently unfair that a segment of the community has to hold up the chosen ones. Many of whom probably couldn't hold a job where they actually had to show up and expected to produce results (earn their pay). Look at me Charo, now I've done what I've criticized you for. Wasted time and space. The big question is who on this island can raise the sinking USS Guam or at least prevent it's sinking further. And do it w/o abundant and generous Federal assistance that when received GovGuam seems to pour down a bottomless pit and nobody is worried about being accountable or fear punishment. GHURA and CAHA now join the list of agencies who conduct their business in a questionable manner. How about the many instances of debt forgiveness allowed, like typhoon related funds? GHURA's overpayments? What do the alleged directors and/or assistant (are these necessary?) directors do while in their highly salaried positions? Can you or I screw up and expect GovGuam to forgive our oversights? Sure, when pigs fly? Where is my white flag?
s when you take into consideration the extended families.
