    I like how Vince Ada changes the topic and blames Senator San Nicholas for Guam's money woes , one of Calvo's goons probably .
    the buck stops with Calvo and Tenorio for the Massive debt they forced all of Guam to swallow , while they bask in the sun with their pockets full they laugh at how easy it is to manipulate the system/people to get what they want . Will Guam benefit in the future with what this admin has done ? I highly doubt it ! Money will be tight and the next Admin will have to force a pay reduction Government wide , raise taxes or borrow a larger amount again to keep Guam afloat . Puerto Rico here we come (bankruptcy) and Payless pay days. You can't thank Calvo and his dum dum Tenorio for what's coming in the future.

    @vince ada - San Nicholas said "the money is NOT OURs and it belongs to the people." So, how does he donate money that is not his? So, we all should be smart enough to figure out from his statement that he donated money that wasn't his and used it for a publicity stunt. Maybe we should investigate further if he claimed the donation on his taxes, this will make me sick. Ask San Nicholas why he is still taking the pay-raise when he said it is not his? He should've have been writing a check back to the Treasure of Guam every pay period...BUT NO he is enjoying it. Are you fooled by this yet? Come on!!! We can be smarter than a 5th grader too.

    @Frank Aguon He's the only one that donated his retro pay, but you already know that. Try holding the rest of them to the same standard. And as the MV article said 11 of the "staff" are part time or summer interns, so only 6 full time permanent staff, but I guess you're trying to have your spin. The story also mentioned the rent for the 5 Senatorial offices in the main legislative building (Respicio, Cruz, Won Pat, Barnes and Underwood) is $21,000 a month or half a million dollars in a single legislative term! That's $100,800 in rent per senator per term for each of those five! His rent looks like a bargain compared to that.

    Thank you Marianas Variety for your unbiased reporting: Sens. Michael San Nicolas, who continues to cry foul about pay-raises yet enjoys accepting it, received the largest government match for benefits, bringing their total compensation to more than $115,000 each per fiscal year. San Nicolas had the highest number of staffers with 17. San Nicholas also pays the highest to landlords - the most with $72,000 each per term. Are you guys fooled yet? #Responsibleguam WHAT? http://mvguam.com/local/news/42069-staffing-pattern-shows-average-legislative-salary-exceeds-33k.html#.VeSFwZd_ToY

    It's crazy how on the day the poll is concerning the governor there's 525 votes on "A" but on a regular day poll not even 100 people vote. Rigged for sure. It's a shame the people have to lie about Guam's issues. I agree with Jackson.

    You can tell that the ghost employees of Adelup actually reported to work today to assure the grade on this poll was an astounding "A". Someone needs to educate them that paying refunds by borrowing is not actually deserving of an "A", as it is creating more debt. The vote on this poll should be an astounding "F" since that symbolizes the actual work put in to reduce government spending and to adequately fund the refund account.

    These poles are always manipulated in favor of this worthless government. Guamanians cannot be so stupid to vote ‘Yes” when the facts show that Calvo uses (steals) our tax returns for his own purpose. Roll back this thieving Governors and senators pay increases and put the SOB’s in jail where they belong!
