Senator Frank Blas, Jr. has received a response from his letter to Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo requesting her help in the push to get more Compact-impact aid to Guam. The senator says that the letter, received yesterday, does not contain many specifics. He rather stated that the congresswoman continues to work with the governor and her colleagues to push the issue of Compact-impact aid."I wanted to know more so as our representative to the United States Congress as to what her plan of actions would be," the freshman Republican policymaker told KUAM News. Senator Blas has also introduced a resolution in the Association of Pacific Island Legislatures, which would request Congress to properly reimburse the governments of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and the state of Hawaii for their actual costs for services provided to residents of the freely associated states.
