It was your choice

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 wouldn’t 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 government’s choice, but yours. Cast blame where it should be cast. The voters of Guam! Good choice? Maybe recall the votes.
