Guam governor keeps legislators busy but doesn't get his way
After days and many hours of debate and discussion, Guam legislators voted 10-4 against Governor Eddie Baza Calvo's favored budget crisis fix, Bill 245-34, which would have imposed a temporary 50 percent increase in the Business Privilege Tax. But that was hardly the end of the work day for the lawmakers.

Chinese target Yap fish with some local help
(Photos: Joyce McClure) Colonia, YAP. The satellite phone connection was shaky as the voice on the other end asked for help.

Budget blues at Guam Legislature (Updated)
Governor Calvo's Bill 245-34 Budget fix fails on 10-4 vote Wednesday Calvo threatens 32-hour work week for government employees Senator Frank Blas Aguon Jr. Tuesday was not a happy day for Guam legislators who spent hours attempting to figure out how to steer the Guam budget bus through a fiscal crisis without mass layoffs of government employees and drastic cuts in services. Wednesday wasn't much better as, following another day of discussion on the floor, lawmakers voted 10
