Doing More With Less?

Since early 2000, Microsoft Corporation has copyrighted a slogan for its software marketing that says "Do More with Less." That line was used by one of KSPN's reports tonight about the Legislature looking at decreasing the number of lawmakers at the Legislature. I saw and heard the House Speaker, who agreed with the proposal saying that this move could provide over hundred thousands of dollars worth of savings to the local government.

Then the Legislature also expressed hopes that the Upper Chamber would implement the same action.

Question, if you were up there would you support this?

CMNI, according to Sen. Akaka

Those who wanted to be `in the know` stayed wide awake from 12:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 9 (Saipan time) to listen and watch via video the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee`s hearing on the CNMI`s labor, immigration, law enforcement and economic issues.

Sen. Akaka, one of the committee members, mistakenly called the CNMI "CMNI" more than once. I wonder how could such a powerful Senate committee that would initiate the "federalization" of the CNMI`s immigration system could not even call the commonwealth by its proper acronym?
