Auntie Charo's Soapbox

In today's PDN, Senator Lou Leon Guerrero wrote a an essay on how to make the changes work to save GMH....the essay's probably on-line so I'm not going to bother you with details since you can read it at your leisure. I wonder if you will come to the same conclusion as I do after you've read the opinion......why, after she's been a senator all these years, she hasn't done any of the things she's pointed out as needing to be changed to help the hospital so that it can function?
She's a lawmaker, she's been in a position(a majority member that at one time could have railroaded change)to have created positive changes there.....yet, years later, she still writes about the problems rather than doing something about the problems.
I would be so ashamed if I were a senator and wrote letters/opinions about problems about issues that I could have changed but didn't. I have to say, however, it takes nerve to write such an essay!
Lawmakers are the very people that can make the changes at GMH, all fifteen of them. Not a one of them can say they don't have the money. They can cut budgets of non-important agencies such as parks and recs that can close and pay employees for parties and pay for hospital needs. Lawmakers can downsize the government of deadwood employees that work in the government only because they voted for who ever it was they were able to get the job from....
When you're through reading the lame excuse of an opinion, read Dr. Tom Sheih's opinion.....and if you learn just one thing from his thoughts, glean from it that if the legislators aren't doing the work you elected them to do, that you shouldn't vote for them the next time...alluding to electing an entirely new body of people who will do what the island needs to have done....who are brave enough to do the right thing.
Quit writing about what needs to be done, should be done, could be done.....do what needs to be done.
