Members of the House of Representatives are doing their job, according to Floor Leader Joseph James Norita Camacho.<\/p>\n
In House bills alone, the 16th Legislature has introduced 145 bills in eight months, Camacho said during Friday\u2019s session.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a lot of bills and many of them are good bills,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery person here in one way or another is working everyday.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Floor Leader said all representatives have done their best to be transparent since all sessions are open to the public, are recorded and transferred to a journal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told Rep. [Christina Sablan] that just because you are not at a meeting does not mean that it\u2019s a secret meeting,\u201d Camacho said.<\/p>\n
Sablan has been very vocal in pushing for transparency in the House\u2019s affairs.<\/p>\n
Among House lawmakers, Camacho tops the list having principally authored 19 bills, one House legislative initiative, and one House joint resolution, in addition to co-sponsoring other legislations.<\/p>\n
Rep. Justo S. Quitugua closely follows Camacho with 18 principally authored bills. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
