Guam public debt up $2.6 billion
The government of Guam’s total public debt ticked past $2.6 billion as of 2017, leaving every Guam citizen in debt of $16,106.2, according to the Government Accountability Office’s public debt outlook for U.S. territories. GAO noted that GovGuam’s borrowings were driven by the need to refinance existing debts—originally issued to comply with federal requirements and court orders— and to fund infrastructure projects. “Since fiscal year 2015, the government of Guam and its comp

Golf swings and machete attacks
Does anyone think it’s accurate to refer to a machete attack as an “exaggerated incident?” Well, it happened recently and I think there may be some regrets. Let’s pull back for a minute and gather some perspective. In golf, when a casual player blows a shot, there’s a chance for a do-over or taking a “mulligan.” It’s one of those things that everyone does— do-over — because everyone needs it from time to time.
