Isn't this better than the usual WWF or the Ultimate Warrior tourney that we see on TV?
The CNMI governor was raving mad about the newspaper article that came out a week ago that featured a report from the federal ombudsman's office. Apparently, the governor was hurt with that report prompting him to write a letter to David Cohen, DOI Deputy Secretary, last week and he ranted about the ombudsman's report, saying that the report jeopardizes tourism business in the CNMI.
Question is, why would the local government intervene with the federal office just to make the CNMI look good when in fact it is deteriorating? Enlighten me with this.
Just wondering.

The Buzz: Of shoes, casinos and esperansa
Welcome to the Buzz!!! Saipan Middle Road's latest tid bits of what the community is hearing about:
First off, the communnity's been hearing about the garment moguls have been meeting up for the establishment of a shoe factory here on Saipan...now that's kinky (boots)!
Next, is the famed La Fiasco, that's what they say about the La Fiesta Mall in As Matuis. Well, another famed company bought it's lease and the buzz around is that, a casino is in the works there. Company's spokeperson wouldn't talk further about it, but admitted that Saipan is a favorable place for a casino than Tinian.
and last, Guma Esperansa wouldn't accept the donation or proceeds from a group that would hold a film showing about a Filipino gay-themed film on Saipan. The "sister" said Guma is a Catholic backed up social service group and it has to be careful. What do you think? For a group that helps battered women, and unfortunate citizens and that is in dire need of financial support, can still be picky huh?

Ms Magazine, a Twisted Media?
Special Assistant Richard Pierce said on his press release that work continues to preserve the garment industry. I clipped one part of the PR pertaining to Ms Magazine's report about labor abuses in sweat shops and all. Below is an excerpt of his PR:
“On the flip side, with a twisted national media driven by politics, the Ms Magazine article posted last year has now been identified as the reason Anne Taylor discontinued its business on-island. This is just another example of how outdated, embellished, and generally disregarded trash can affect the lives of people in the CNMI. While it's certainly true problems associated with the industry absolutely tarnished the CNMI's image years ago, and did also hurt business, changes recognized by many don't seem to be having a reciprocal effect,” Pierce said.
After the Senate Hearing last month, Ms Magazine once again put the CNMI in the limelight. Is there such thing as twisted media? I heard and read that Ms Magazine is one of the reputable publications in the US.
