Guam - Regular session originally scheduled for today was cancelled by Acting Speaker B.J. Cruz. The session was called on Friday at the request of Senators Ben Pangelinan and Rory Respicio to address Bill 77 - a measure relative to the development of the farmer's market facility by the Farmer's Cooperative Association of Guam.

Both senators says the bill is a final step in ensuring that the farmer's market becomes a reality and allows the farmers on Guam to finally have a home as a centralized point for distribution of freshly harvested goods, to share information and facilitate training and for the sustainability of produce for the community.

The acting speaker, in a release, says the conflicting schedules of a few senators' schedules would not have permitted their attendance for today's session. Lawmakers meanwhile are set to meet in regular session next week between April 23 to 26.
