Here is a sampling of the public’s reaction to the indictment of Lt. Gov. Timothy Villagomez:
“If he did something wrong then he should be arrested. Justice should be served.”
—Gus Evangelista, Koblerville
“It’s very unfortunate. Of course it upsets me, especially in a situation with our economy being really bad. Our people are suffering economically. I wish him well, but if he is guilty then he should be held accountable.”
—Rota resident who wished to remain anonymous
“I’m shocked, but yet not shocked. I’m glad someone is doing something to stop the corruption on this island.”
—Angie, Finasisu
“I think as a public official you should not use money that way. You’re cheating your community while trying to run in a high leadership position.”
—Francis, Finasisu
“I think it’s good. Serve justice for the Commonwealth. As an elected official in the CNMI, his obligation is to not break the law. I hope justice will be served. Saipan people are tired of this kind of attitude.”
—Frank Sablan, Kagman
“I think it’s good. I hope they get everyone else who has contributed to our CUC fiasco.”
—Rick Gramlich
“I think it’s a shame. We’re going through hard times. It’s a shame he did that to his people.”
—Valerie, Finasisu
