111507 mv letter to the editor
THE local newspaper showed a chart provided by the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. What’s not showing is the short-time implemented 17 cents per kwh for October. Where did it go and was it even implemented or adjusted?
What good is an override of any law when the governor can just step in anytime he wants and make changes? The governor, just like any other leader in most countries, should have limited powers. But it seems like Governor Fitial has more powers in office than the U.S. president.
Anyway, there are other alternatives to provide CUC with money for its shortfall. You could have raised cigarette and alcohol taxes, just to give an idea. I see nothing in this administration that has relieved the people. Hell, if you must, tax everything that moves but don’t get into our pockets.
The people don’t have hefty paychecks like you and your appointees. There is nothing wrong with the economy — it’s the people in charge that don’t work their way around it. Reality check: we don’t have a big house and pool that you have, especially on a hill. Hell, if you have not noticed, we are still paying the illegal surcharges that you introduced. We are not puppets attached to strings. This Pinocchio has turned mad. I don’t speak for myself. I speak for the many thousands of local residents that don’t protest or speak up. I’m their voice. It is people like me, Ambrose, Greg and Johannes and many others that just don’t stop at anything.
We can’t be stopped. We will never be stopped. So really, what have the CNMI people got left, but willpower. I feel for Greg Cruz, and also I think it is time for an impeachment. To avoid any delays, I suggest you should submit your own courtesy resignation to make things easier for the transition. The people already have the grades for your performance three months since you took office. Don’t forget to take Charles Jr. with you. You are all equal to corruption in my book. If you still don’t get it, feel free to read this all over again. Don’t worry. No surcharge involved here.
