Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Yet.......many govGuam agencies do it over and over and over again......the lady AG said that it was not legal to make partial payments on an employee's salary.....the director of GPSS said he didn't want to go to jail and generally agreed with the law that states that an employee should be fully paid for the work done.......
Yet........employees of GPSS got checks that weren't complete....the figures in today's PDN about what the agency needs within the next few weeks for GPA, retirement, payroll is huge........and then there's the issue of the recent raise.
Couldn't we just ask the private schools how much they'd charge the government to take over the school system? I've yet to hear that Bishop Baumgartner or Harvest or St. Pauls, or San Vicente or any other parochial school has come close to a payless payday....or even a partial one. Sure they charge for their students, but the parents get results for the dollars they spend since the kids usually do well....it's quite obvious that these private schools know how to manage their meager funds. They even manage to pay their bills within 90 days and one of them even built a brand new gym....
I swear.....if I ran a company(or agency) that couldn't find its way out of a paper bag, I sure as hell wouldn't give not a one of them a raise....with the exception of the underpaid teachers in the trenches who've long been unappreciated and underpaid.
Maybe it's time we got rid of a few secretaries and the PIO and give their salaries to the teachers.....if those that have secretaries can't type their own letters and file their own material....then their salaries should be examined.....
The Feds must be laughing big time at us.......especially when we ask for money for this or for that.........heck, they're liable to start asking us for a paper trail for all the money they give us before they give us any new money......that would not be a good thing! And you wonder why our teachers went to Las Vegas....or....DODEA....
