“Nu’u fou” New Problems with Land with Registrars Office

SSIC takes up the issue of “Nu’u fou” land with Registrar as first witness: Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — The Senate Select Investigative Committee (SSIC) on Monday afternoon started its investigation into the “Nu’u fou” land encompassing 400.

So this is still an ongoing thing here. We here on the rock are still in the dark. Trapped in our own echo chamber we the locals are still not informed on the whole truth. What are the truths, and to what extent does this rabbit hole go?

Only time will show, but you know the saying goes, "Dead men Tell no Tales...." Leave a comment below:

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata is highlighting National Hire a Veteran Day 2022. 

 “Our nation benefits from millions of Veterans who learned teamwork, strength, discipline, leadership, work ethic, and often technical skills in the Armed Forces, and have much to offer employers and their communities,” said Aumua Amata.

“I appreciate the federal agencies that prioritize National Hire A Veteran Day and many companies in the U.S. that participate, and especially all that our local Veterans in American Samoa mean to us. Our Veterans experience a big transition when they leave the Armed Forces, and deserve every consideration and opportunity to prove themselves, find great second careers, and put their knowledge to work in new ways.”

As reported by Talanei, not representatives in the House of Representative to have a quorum. Means they cannot do anything because by law they have have a minimum amount of officials present. Sad thing is, they are getting paid even if they don't have any session.
Come on!!! Are you guys serious?!! I can understand of being held up with other commitments, but this your only job!! You members of the fono, you know who you are, stop fleecing the people of Amerika Samoa... If you are not going to do your job, maybe get a pay deduction for that day. Make sure you have a permission slip from your constituents before you go on you outing, oh I mean your important personal matters. If you  were voted in just voice your itumalo, then at show up to do your job or just pretend to do it. Perception of a thing is what you need to entertain. In plain words, "Just Act the part!". Being a member of our illustrious yet small Fono can't be all too difficult? Or is it?

In the Coconut Times...

LBJ Trouble....
Are you serious??!! As reported by the local news,"LBJ center of a Firestorm", local reorganization and restructuring of the financial side of the hospital.... blah blah blah... Come on people, this should not be a surprise to the locals. I read most of the comments there, Come on people!!! This is really not the point! Arguing over who should fire who, and what the Governor should do. You commentators on there should all run for Governor, instead of being a backseat driver. We all know that the LBJ hospital was in the deep 'pu'(hole), and yet we love to pass the buck.
