Which of the following agencies do you think we should ask to explain why they failed to acknowledge this issue and make a report to Uncle Sam for eligibility income adjustment and what available programs can help us deal with this issue that is affecting our government and our cost of living? Food Stamp office, NMC-CREES, EFNEP, Public Health wellness program, or do you have any other on the list?
Another issue is the unemployment rate and the contract workers. Which of the following agencies should we ask for assistance especially in these tough times for our educational needs and training: NMC, WIA, OVR, Labor or do you have any other in mind?
Another issue is our health care providers and their minimal services. We don’t have money to hire doctors. Which agency should we ask to seek federal assistance for medical referrals? Medicaid or is there any other out there?
Another issue is the mass reproduction of insects multiplying and are now attacking plants I never see them eat before. Which agency is responsible to help us protect our environment? EPA, CREES, DLNR or do have any other in mind?
And the biggest is the budget. One person commented on the news that our Division of Revenue and Taxation needs educational assistance and training. Who do you think we can check to help us on this? NMC or the feds?
People of the CNMI I will sit in meetings or conferences for free if you call me and I’ll even offer my comments. Just identify the above agencies for heaven’s sake because I am living in fear.
Why are we fighting and pointing fingers at each other when we have all these agencies that are supposed to be working with us to help improve our lives?
