HAGATNA, Guam, March 5 -- Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo, R-Guam, issued the following news release:
An effort by the Public Safety Chairwoman to raise fees to help the Guam Fire Department is appreciated, but it falls short of the $67 million revenue reduction for the entire government and we're quickly running out of time. Each day that goes by where the Legislature fails to pass a bill providing a viable solution, we get closer and closer to furloughs and even a government shutdown.< . . .
