Are you sure you're doing the right thing?

The real problem we are facing is how are we going to make money. And I’m wondering what our leaders have been doing about it. Who do you think among our leaders are responsible for all the investments we are making and what did they do in the past? How many of these money making plans have they made? Well, they said casino is not the only way so, okay, let’s hear your way.

Now with the impeachment, if you impeach Governor Fital now, would they be able to find the solution to bringing in investors that would help us generate revenue? What are they going to do about the others leaders who are also practicing illegal businesses? I’m not saying that what the governor did is right but there is a saying, "Whoever among you does not sin, cast the first stone."

How about the budget? Are they going to waste time on the impeachment first, or are they going to pass the budget so that there wouldn’t be another shutdown?

Plus, now that House Bill 17-315 is law, what are our leaders doing to address this issue? Many active members are now waiting for direction. Could you please tell us where can we go to withdraw and to roll over our contributions?

While you're listening to those angry people who want to impeach si Governor, don’t forget too to ask yourself: If we impeach Governor Fitial now, what gain are we going to have and what loss are we going to face?

I’m concerned because he may be the only one looking for ways to make money so that we can survive. I might be wrong, but I don’t see others doing the same thing. Only si Rep. Tenorio and Fitial are attempting to do something, and maybe it is wrong but everyone gets to have a share.

The government is broke and we need to find money and if the casino is all we have left, then why not? Take it or lose everything, when we run out of funds.
