DO you remember the $3,000,000
you thumbed your noses at?
The money Guam Greyhound Park practically begged you to take, for allowing
a few slot machines at the race track, with even more money to come later
on a regular basis? You voted not to take it. Why?
To save the kids, stop corruption, or other reasons more important than
your schools and your children? Well, look at what you have now, a corrupt,
and inept government, schools in the toilet and kids being played as pawns
in this power game.
Just think what that $3 million would have accomplished as of today.
1. Fixed and repaired all your air conditioners.
2. Paid all the janitorial vendors their arrears.
3. Paid a huge part of the power bill enough to keep the power on.
4. Prevented the possibility of the schools shutting down completely.
You have chosen to jeopardize your children with hot and muggy classrooms,
dirty and unsanitary conditions and the possibility of no schools if the
power is disconnected.
Just think tomorrow there would be: air conditioners in all the classrooms,
everything would be spic and span and the power wouldnt be threatened
to be turned off.
All this you traded to not have a few slot machines at the track. So which
is the lesser of the two evils? No schools or a few slot machines?
This was not your governments choice, but yours. Cast blame where
it should be cast. The voters of Guam! Good choice? Maybe recall the votes.
