This was the assertion madeby Saipan lawyer Theodore R.Mitchell who in a letter to Assistant Attorney GeneralSebastianAloot,calledonGovernorFroilanC. Tenoriototakeimmediate action to prevent afinancial crisis "that he himselfcreated." .,
"We now call upon the governor and the.secretary of Finance to immediately fulfilltheir respective fiduciary responsibilities to the people ofthe Commonwealth," saidMitchell in his letter to Alootlast Friday.
"Given the dire emergency.which exists, any further delaywillonly increasethe difficultyof taking remedial action. Thiscrisis has one sole cause: theGovernor's profligate and flagrantly illegal spending practice's," the Saipan attorneyadded; .

Another man told police thatsomeone broke inside his vehicleand got away a wristwatch, twobank cards, keys, and other itemsat Grotto.
At Banzaii Cliff, a vehicle wasalso burglarized. Several itemsand money belonging to fourtourists were taken away.
In light of these circumstances,Mitchell said it is incumbentuponthe secretary of Finance and thegovernor to exercise their emergencyauthority and do as follows:

-imrnediately send to the Legislature a special budget messagesettingforth the remedial measureswhich the governor proposes tocompensate for the $11 millionexistingdeficit and to keepexpenditures within actual revenue collections for FY 1995.
"Giventhedireemergency whichexists, any further delay will onlyincrease the difficultyof taking remedial action. If thegovernorfailstoactas as outlinedabove. weshallseekappropriate affirmative injunctive relief to compelhim to do so,"said Mitchell.
"Specifically, we shall file amotion for preliminary injunction.We will ask the court for immediate injunctivereliefcompelling thegovernor and the secretary of Financeto carry out their legaldutiesas outlined," added Mitchell.

UnderSection7604(a)of theAct,if actual revenue collections fallshortby either thesum of$200,000or 3%, then the secretary of Finance has a mandatory duty topromptly inform the governor.
Then, Mitchell said, under Section 7604 (c), the governor has amandatory duty to transmit to theLegislature a special budget message informing it of the shortfalland recommendingways to reduceexpenditures to bring them in linewith revenue.
Mitchell noted that Cabrera fulfilled her duty under the statutethrough a March I, 1995 memo tothe governor reporting. the shortfall.

Citing an April 19th depositionwith John Schnebly, special assistant to the secretary of Finance,Mitchell said there is no reason tothink that revenue performance inthesecondquarterofFY 1995 couldprevent further shortfall.
"In other words, it is reasonableto fear that the revenue shortfall isnow in the neighborhood of $11millionfor thiscurrent fiscalyear,"said Mitchell.
"And if that is so, then the Commonwealth faces nothing less thana fiscalcrisis, for the simplereasonthattheconstitutionally permissibleannualized spending level may beat most $146million. If thatprovesto be the case, then the governmentwill have a mere $60 million tospend in the lasthalf or $30 millionper quarter," said Mitchell.
This means, the lawversaid, thatinstead of spending $43.1 millionper quarter, as the government reportedly did in in the first and second quarter, it will have tocut backa total of $13.1 million in expenditures for each remainingquarter.
"thatwillnecessarily mean averydrastic cutback in spending,necessitating some very difficultchoices," Mitchell said. "And thepainthat itwillcausewillbeall that

"The primary purpose of theevaluation is to help me identify the strengths and weaknesses of the AGO. The evaluation is a purely internal matterthat does not directly involveeither the Legislature or the judiciary," said Tenorio.
"My goal is to make the executive branch run better for thebenefit of the public... not tosatisfy your ignorance about theseparation of powers and theresponsibilities each governmental branch has to ensure itbest serves the public," said thegovernor.
The governor in the same letter lambasted Torres for criticizing the AGO as a means to"grandstand," especially withcongressional elections comingin November.

Governor Tenorio has publicly suggested that a more aggressi ve prosecution of laborabuse cases is needed from theattorney general's office, thoughhe has also recently defendedthe office in the face of morestrident criticism coming fromCongo Stanley Torres.
Torres earlier this monthwrote the Oregon-based lawfirm asking particulars about theAGO evaluation contract.

A United Nations official saysPacific Island nations are moving backwards in terms of development, RNZI reported.
The UN director of the Economic and Social Commissionfor Asia/Pacific, SavenacaSiwatibau, says the economicgrowth rates of island nationsare weak compared with thegrowth of their populations.
He was speaking on the UN1995 economic and social review for the region, which saysmost Pacific island nations havepopulation growth around threeper cent while gross domesticproduct growth is rarely thathigh. Siwatibau says in terms ofdevelopment, it represents a retreat.
He says resources are not usedcorrectly and the quality of investment is not good, despite ofa high level of foreign aid.

Family of5die in crashQUINCY,Florida (AP)-A smallplane crashed in a light drizzlejust after takeoff, killing all fivemembers of a Tennessee family,authorities said Saturday.
The plane crashed three miles(five kilometers) from Quincy'sairport, where the pilot hadstopped for several hours to checkweather reports, said GadsdenCounty Sheriff W.A. Woodham.
Witnesses said they heard sputtering from the single-enginePiper Cherokee before it crashedthrough pine trees and exploded.
Killed were: pilot Steven Paine,47; his wife, Sile, 40; and theirchildren Thomas, 13; Kara, 12;and Sophia. 4.
The Germantown, Tennessee,family had been visiting relatives
. in Alligator Point, about 60 miles(l00 kilometers) away on theGulfof Mexico. Woodharn said.
Weather was not a factor in thecrash late Friday afternoon nearthis town in the Florida Panhandle,he said.
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP)- Chineseofficials will visit Taipei for meetings on joint oil exploration, thefirstsuch discussions held in Taiwan since the Communist takeover in China in 1949. a newspaper reported Sunday.
The United Daily News quotedunidentified officials ofTaiwan' sstate-run Chinese PetroleumCorp. as saying the discussionswould be held during a three-dayoil seminar in August.
It said officials from the twosides have held two secret meetings in Singapore on possiblejointoil exploration in the East ChinaSea and the South China Sea, withTaiwan providing capital andtechnical skill and China offeringresources and markets.
The reported decision to holdthe third meeting in Taipei followed the Taiwan government'sannouncement April 12that Chinese economic officials and businessmen will be allowed to visitTaiwan on business trips.
High-level officials from theChina Petro-Chemical Corp.,China National Petroleum Corp.and China National Offshore OilCorp..will attend the meeting,during which cooperation on gasand petrochemical products alsowill be discussed, the paper said.
Officials were not available forcomment on the report.
Taiwan is the seat of the Nationalist government that fled theCommunists' takeover of theChina mainland in 1949. Taiwanbans direct contacts with Chinaand Beijing regards the island as arenegade province.
But bitter rivalries have givenway to extensive trade and civilian ties between the two sidessince the late 1980s. Last year,Taiwan-China trade throughHong Kong rose 20.1 percent toU.S. $ 16.5 billion.

Born today, you are one of themost thoughtful and considerateindividuals born under your sign.Alwavs willing to go out of yourway for others, you do those thingsthat most are unwilling to do,merely because you enjoy lendinga hand to those who in need. Ofcourse, there is another side toyour selfless nature, one which isjess likely to be noticed. That is,you can be very selfish at times,and what yOU do for others yOU areactually doing for yourself in thelong run.
Still, none of this should takeaway from the fact that you aregenerous and loving, and will wantto maintain family ties throughoutyour lifetime and perhaps raise alarge family of your own. Theremay be something unusual in yournature: however, that makes thisan elusive dream for some time.
