Auntie Charo's Soapbox

It's only about $34M, what the hell, it's a drop in the bucket...that's nothing when you have that much more to pay the retirement board, vendors, the power and water and phone bill....oh, then there's the payroll. For some reason, the board members of GPSS screwed up so much that the US department of education decided to withhold some $34M because the board and the public school system couldn't follow directions..........like....they can't understand English.........
All the way up to the 11th hour, the interim acting director,(poor man) Luis Reyes, claimed there was no problem.....yup....no problem....for the feds....all they had to say was....Guam, you don't know how to follow directions...you can't be trusted to handle the money we give you....so, we're not going to give you anymore! Period....end of conversation.
What we gonna do now, Tonto?
Oh, I almost lost my breakfast when I heard that Mr. Personality himself, Sigfried Linsangan(sp) of the current GPSS board(the one who yells at people who speak during public hearings) is going to run for the legislature............mercy, mercy.......he's not fit to run for dog catcher....do not, and I mean, do not put into an office where he could yell at some one bad enough to cause the man(or woman) to have a massive stroke. Surely we remember what happened that night when he was frothing at the mouth during one of the GPSS board meetings when a parent literally died defending his desire to keep direct instruction from being removed. As it turned out....it was....and the Feds decided to keep their money........no telling what commotion Mr. Linseed will cause in another elected office. Perhaps we can ask the new governor to appoint him to the department of agriculture to oversee the coqui frogs.
