Dear Speaker Cruz and Senator Aguon: Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on Bill No. 204-34 (the “Bill”). This letter serves as written testimony on behalf of Core Tech International Corp. (“Core Tech”) with regard to Bill No. 204-34. Bill No. 204-34, proposed by Senator Frank Aguon is an effort to move forward the procurement of Simon Sanchez High School (“SSHS”). The Bill seeks to amend the Ma Kahat Act, 5 G.C.A. § 58D, and change the procurement agency for SSHS to the Department of Education (“DOE”) instead of the Department of Public Works (“DPW”). DOE will not only be in charge of the procurement, but it will also be granted the authority to bypass a pending protest and proceed with an award if it finds that such an “award of the contract without delay is necessary to protect substantial interests of the Territory.” Bill No.

Residents of this island and surrounding island groups are isolated from the rest of the world by distance, time and, for some, by relatively primitive means of communication. Until recently, the only non-military, English-language daily news- paper serving this three million-square-mile section of the world was the Pacific Daily News, one of the 82 publications of the Rochester, New York-based Gannett Co., Inc. This study will trace the history of journalism on Guam, particularly the Pacific Daily News. It will show that the Navy established the daily Navy News during reconstruction efforts follow- ing World War II. That newspaper was sold in l950 to Guamanian civilian Joseph Flores, who sold the newspaper in 1969 to Hawaiian entrepreneur Chinn Ho and his partner. The following year, they sold the newspaper now called the Pacific Daily News, along with their other holdings, to Gannett. Jacqueline Korona Teare This study will also examine the role of the Pacific Daily Ngw§_in its unique community and attempt to assess how the newspaper might better serve its multi-lingual and multi-cultural readership in Guam and throughout Micronesia.

    FRANK LEON GUERRERO/DEMOCRAT QUESTIONNAIRE The deadline to submit written answers is September 30th, 2020 Legislative Candidate Interview Vying For Election To The 36th Guam Legislature A. Real Estate Industry Related 1. The Governor’s office has upgraded the classification of the real estate industry as an essential service during COVID-19 “Condition of Readiness” operating restrictions. However, the Government of Guam agencies that are part and parcel of the real estate industry remain either closed or inactive. (The real estate industry encompasses private sector real estate activities as well as Government of Guam agencies that are involved in the processing of real estate transactions including taxation, recordation, land management interaction, construction and land use permitting, building inspections, building occupancy, and document recordation.). Will you support the preparation and passage of legislation to classify the whole of the real estate industry encompassing both the private sector and related Government of Guam agencies as TRUE ESSENTIAL SERVICES? While I am aware of their being a distinction between “essential services” and “true essential services”. This crisis has forced the awareness of being able to operate the government by implementing a complete digital transformation of distinction government. In many communities across the country obtaining a mortgage and buying a home are processed entirely online. If elected I will work closely with the Association on legislation that will address these concerns. Real Estate is a critical part of our locally grown economy. 2. The Guam Land Use Commission (GLUC) application processing system has been rendered inactive by GovGuam COVID restrictions since March 2020 with no apparent urgency to restore the system to full operation.

The Bureau of Statistics and Plans is pleased to present to you the “2011 Guam Statistical Yearbook.” This comprehensive sourcebook presents a portrait of current and historical socio-economic statistics that reflect Guam’s economic development and performance over time. As Guam’s economy continues to progress from proceeds of increased tourism arrivals, developed job opportunities, the growing military presence, and the expected construction growth and infrastructure improvement, the Guam Statistical Yearbook serves as a valuable resource instrument in providing information needed to promote economic expansion and prosperity for the people. I am confident this report will provide our government, business and civic leaders with the information necessary to effectively develop immediate and long term strategies to address our island’s needs and generate investment opportunities to local and potential businesses alike. I commend the staff of the Bureau for their dedication and hard work and acknowledge the valuable contributions of the various government agencies and private sector businesses whose efforts have made this publication possible. It is my hope that the information in this report presents a clear picture of Guam’s economic condition and outlook in the upcoming years.
