Please process my separation of service documents effective March 23, 2010. Thank you for your time.”
Other LB employees who declined to be identified said politics is stifling the growth of the rank and file employees.
The speaker earlier asked Reyes, the wife of Senate Floor Leader Pete P. Reyes, R-Saipan, to vacate her office, saying her employment contract had expired on Jan. 11, 2010.
But Mrs. Reyes said her contract is valid through Sept. 30, 2010 and is subject to automatic renewal.
This is also the position of Senate President Paul A. Manglona, Ind.-Rota.
On Monday, Mrs. Reyes rejected the speaker’s request to have Guerrero transferred to his office as his special assistant.
She also denied his request to assign Troy S. Taisakan, a non-LB employee, as House sergeant-at-arms, and Pedro O. Towai, an LB employee, as assistant sergeant-at-arms.
“Your requests are rather complex for many reasons. The instruction to reassign the Senate journal clerk without consultation with the Senate may appear intrusive into its affairs. To reassign an employee to your office as your special assistant will not only create the appearance of the LB employing a personal staff member of the employees to perform this job,” Mrs. Reyes told the speaker.
“Lastly, the instruction of transferring the House journal clerk to the Senate to handle Senate journals, again, appears to be intrusive into the Senate affairs. Such arrangement as well as the reassignment of the current Senate journal clerk and the hiring of new employees to perform this task will unnecessarily hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of the offices of the House/Senate clerks,” she added.
