THE people of Tinian will miss the services of William “Bill” Cing as Chairman of the Tinian Gaming Control Commission. He has been a very competent manager of the commission, as he was previously for the Tinian Mayor’s Office and the Tinian Public School System.
As I remember, Bill did a tour in the U.S. Army after high school and then completed a college degree in Hawaii. He returned to Tinian and became principal of the old Tinian High School where I first met him. Bill subsequently became the chief executive officer for the Tinian Mayor’s Office, where he did an excellent job. He was then appointed to the Gaming Control Commission and became its chairman.
Bill tells me he is not interested in seeking a political career, which is unfortunate because he is highly qualified and would represent the interests of the people of Tinian well. Perhaps that has to do with his candor and personal code of ethics about telling the truth. He says he prefers administration, at which he clearly excels.
Perhaps we might convince Chairman Cing to compose a “farewell address” to the gaming control commission and the people of Tinian, giving us a candid, straightforward report on the current status of the gaming industry on Tinian and his recommendations for promoting the future of the industry. Tell the public truthfully what needs to be done to make it as successful as he dreamed it would be when the initiative he helped create became law.
Thank you, Mr. Cing, for your service and the best of luck to you, whatever you decide to do next for the people of Tinian.
