Joel Camacho is excited and ready to share his knowledge as a new member of the Commonwealth Zoning Board. The Saipan and Northern Islands Legislative Delegation confirmed Camacho in last Friday\u2019s session at the Jesus P. Mafnas Memorial Building on Capital Hill.<\/p>\n

Camacho said it is time to infuse young blood in some government agencies. \u201cI\u2019m excited and I\u2019ll do my best to serve the board. It is about time to let the young people in. Thank you to the governor, the lieutenant governor, and SNILD for allowing me to serve on the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that one of the areas that he would look into, once sworn in by Gov. Ralph DLG Torres, is the application of the non-profit group Marianas Behavioral International Inc. of opening and operating the CNMI\u2019s first drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.<\/p>\n

Agnes McPhetres, Joey Arriola, MBII managing director Diego Manglona Sablan, and Marianas Counseling Service\u2019s Crispin M. Sablan attended last week\u2019s SNILD session to ask for help in establishing the rehabilitation center on Saipan.<\/p>\n

Camacho said he wants to look more on their application. \u201cI can\u2019t speak on the details yet since I\u2019m not familiar with the matter right now. I\u2019ll get to work right away and look into their plans as soon as I\u2019m sworn in by the governor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of their documents. The land management plans and development. Right now, I\u2019m just going to take it one day at a time. Actually, I would also start meeting with the other members of the board about that,\u201d added Camacho, who would remain in the Senate Legislative Bureau\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

He said that he aims to work closely with the other members of the Zoning board to push what are their mandated to do. \u201cI do have some ideas that I would like to bring to the other board members. Once I\u2019m settled in, I\u2019ll disclose everything to them. This time, I\u2019ll wait until I get sworn in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camacho graduated with a criminal justice administration degree from Boise State University and decided to come back to contribute and offer his services to the CNMI. He\u2019s been working as a senior legislative assistant in the CNMI Senate for the past four years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
