What a great idea...Dick, Lynn, Ben, and Willie passing out "Vote NO" buttons to protect the local culture and identity...and I am sure we can drag the lawmakers on board. Who will get government contract for the badges? Could we have a nine year study to access the impact of the 50 cents? Should we ask the US to pay the 50 cents to bring chamber and HANMI on board? Could we employee some high dollar mainland lawyers and lobby gurus that would give kickbacks from CNMI funds. The possiblity is endless...and mindless. Sure, it is all about UNITY here in our commonwealth.<BR/><BR/>Death to Tyrants.<BR/><BR/>March Madness at A1 Real Estate<BR/>call 2233-1144Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726049806855832871.post-45774958414700566632008-03-03T08:13:00.000+10:002008-03-03T08:13:00.000+10:00The nonsense is that governments can somehow legis...The nonsense is that governments can somehow legislate prosperity. <BR/><BR/>It's an old and tired trick usually trundled out at election time. It destroys far more than it helps but those destroyed, the bottom tier of employees, are not very vocal and often a bit dull so from the politician's standpoint it is worth sending them down the river to get the votes. I'm surprised you guys bite on that minimum wage hook.<BR/><BR/>So while I recognize Pete A’s duplicity in this case, I grudgingly agree that the delay he proposes is better for those who will lose their jobs than immediate implementation.Bruce A.

It isn't the governor, not the legislature, no they think only of themselves. <BR/>TTT might be a good bet if you are looking for people for people, but they must get focused and think smartly as to how they go about it. If they took a good look at their purpose an formed a genuine plan they could help. Presently they seen too disorganized and scattered in too many different directions and tackle too many different issues, without getting any completely right. They may eventually get it together but that still needs to be seen.<BR/>You all despertly need someone pulling for the average Joe but it seems to not be any elected officials....glend558https://www.blogger.com/profile/17230710369170158416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726049806855832871.post-89822180372654435982008-03-02T04:37:00.000+10:002008-03-02T04:37:00.000+10:00Mr. D., if you believe that Pete A. has the best i...Mr. D., if you believe that Pete A. has the best interest of the people in his heart, then I have a bridge to sell you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726049806855832871.post-63998415785921296972008-03-01T23:14:00.000+10:002008-03-01T23:14:00.000+10:00Great job, getting a response from someone who mat...Great job, getting a response from someone who matters (and is very likely to be the next Gov.)
