Guam - Today is the deadline for public officials to file their financial disclosure reports to the Guam Election Commission. By law every year government directors, board and commission members, judges, justices and elected leaders are required to file these reports or file an extension.

GEC executive director Maria Pangelinan said, "It's to hold them accountable and hold all of us accountable who are in charge of these agencies and simply stated we don't get rich for unethical decisions."

She adds those who filed an extension have 180 days thereafter to submit their reports. Those who fail to submit a report or file an extension could result in a misdemeanor. The reports meanwhile will be compiled for public consumption.
