TCGCC, TCGCC chief sue Tinian Mayor San Nicolas
The Tinian Casino Gaming Control Commission, TCGCC executive director Lucia L. Blanco-Maratita and TCGCC inspector 1 Lisa-Marie B. Aguon filed today, Monday, a lawsuit against Tinian and Aguiguan Mayor Joey P. San Nicolas and municipal treasurer Charlene M. Lizama for allegedly refusing to issue paychecks to them for their salaries that the commission increased last December.
TCGCC, Blanco-Maratita, and Aguon, through counsel Robert O’Connor and Rosemond B. Santos, alleged that beginning with the fourth pay period for fiscal year 2015, acting on the instructions of San Nicolas, Lizama has refused to issue paychecks to them and other affected employees in the amounts certified by the commission.
The plaintiffs alleged that Maratita, Aguon and the other affected commission employees were paid only the amounts set forth for them in the Budget Act.
The plaintiffs asked the Superior Court to issue a mandatory injunction compelling San Nicolas and Lizama to pay them and other affected employees their full lawful salaries.
More details to follow.
