Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Before he was a judge, he was an attorney, worked hard for her husband when he was the governor, then for her when she was the lt. governor...ya might've called him a 'dutch' nephew kinda relative. BJ Cruz, the lawyer, turned judge-turned senator-turned-inquirer. I couldn't believe that BJ Cruz was actually confronting his beloved Madeline Z. Bordallo on the issue of the reconiliation. On KUAM this evening, he said (read it on their website) "You know, the reason why I think its important that we discuss debt reconciliation and what happened to that and who fumbled, and it wasn't OMB, and I think she's got to be more forthcoming with the people about what really happened to debt reconciliation. Yes, OMB had some objections, but I got through there was a problem and somebody did fumble locally and nobody wants to talk about it and that she, the Lieutenant Governor and the Governor really need to come forward with the people and be honest about what happened to that debt reconciliation." Cruz further says (per Sabrina Matanane's report):"You know, the reason why I think its important that we discuss debt reconciliation and what happened to that and who fumbled, and it wasn't OMB, and I think she's got to be more forthcoming with the people about what really happened to debt reconciliation. Yes, OMB had some objections, but I got through there was a problem and somebody did fumble locally and nobody wants to talk about it and that she, the Lieutenant Governor and the Governor really need to come forward with the people and be honest about what happened to that debt reconciliation."
KUAM got a reply from the island's delage who said what what she said in the island's state of the island's condition in Washington(or whatever the heck that half hour's report to the people is named) is the truth. Of course, what else was she expected to say, that Cruz was right?
That Cruz openly confronted the lady, however says more than the issue of reconciliation of debt relief....it says that there's a wedge that now divides the 'red' that represents the Bordallo-crats. As of today, the inquirer wears his very own shade of red and it's questionable if the grassroot people who adore Madelize Z. will forgive him for questioning her job as a delegate. I'll bet my last dollar that most of those votes that got him elected came from those who'll move heaven and earth for her. She'll always be the victim woman here...the under-dog, the widow, the lt. gov. who had her chief of staff fired from under her and she couldn't do anything about it. Now, doing her best,(and I think she has) some freshman senator questions her efforts in public.....what price will the senator pay for such a provocative act?
