Guam - He's been Senator Ben Pangelinan's right hand man when it comes to balancing the budget, but Chris Budasi is now the controller for the Judiciary of Guam. He started his new job today.

For several years he served as the director of the Office of Finance and Budget at the Guam Legislature and was chairman of the Special Accounting Service Committee. As OFB director he oversaw management and government budgeting, public finance, economic forecasting and fiscal planning.

Budasi replaces former court controller Anthony Meno, who retired earlier this year.
