Gubernatorial teams square-off this week

by Sabrina Salas Matanane

Guam - The former Democrat gubernatorial team of Carl Gutierrez and Frank Aguon, Jr. will be squaring-off against Governor-elect Eddie Calvo and Lieutenant Governor-elect Ray Tenorio this Wednesday in Superior Court. The two filed suits in the local and District courts, alleging the Decision 2010 General Election was filled with flaws and abuse.

A special session is scheduled for Wednesday before Judge Vern Perez.

In the meantime, the Republicans have retained former Democratic Party of Guam Chairperson Mike Phillips as their attorney. Phillips last week filed a motion to dismiss. In terms of the complaint filed in the federal court, the 9th Circuit has not yet assigned the case to a judge since District Court of Guam Chief Judge Frances Tydingco Gatewood recused herself from the matter.
