Topics such as crime, unemployment, hiring complications, and the overall village cleanliness were discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Camacho later said in an interview that this was part of his efforts to reach out to different groups that make up the Saipan community. He said he has already met with religious leader and different ethnic groups, \u201cso now we\u2019re approaching the business community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he is taking this extra step because many have not been used to working together in beautifying the villages and, creating a safe community.<\/p>\n<p>Camacho said one of his goals is to start softball teams for young people in each precinct sponsored by businesses. He hopes not only to get young people involved but also establish a good relationship among business owners and community members. He shared that he\u2019s gotten positive feedback so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[We\u2019ve gotten] a lot of positive signals from the business community. And they\u2019re so happy also to sponsor the softball game from Precinct 1 itself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He plans to bring this idea to businesses in other precincts too. He said businesses in Precinct 1 are willing to sponsor a softball team. The idea, he said, is to have businesses in all five precincts on Saipan being invited to also sponsor a team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m encouraging businesses to work together\u2026because it will benefit\u2026all of us\u2026by promoting a safe community, safe village, and a clean island. \u2026I want the businesses also to be involved. \u2026These businessmen and -women consider this place as home already. \u2026So this is what we\u2019re trying to do, we\u2019re trying to connect everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camacho plans to meet with more business members in other precincts soon.<\/p>\n<p> <figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/cc98e011dc4f7c45904eb15a2af0541e.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>Saipan Mayor Ramon Blas &#8220;RB&#8221; Camacho shares his plans to make better community relations in the CNMI with Precinct 1 business leaders last Thursday at his office in Susupe.<\/p>\n<p>-CHRYSTAL MARINO<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/61f482f8b48e431eff5b7077830abbdd.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>Seeking to build better community relationships, 20 business representatives from Precinct 1 met with Saipan Mayor Ramon Blas &#8220;RB&#8221; Camacho for a discussion last Thursday at his office in Susupe.<\/p>\n<p>-CHRYSTAL MARINO<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saipan Mayor Ramon Blas \u201cRB\u201d Camacho met with 20 business representatives from Precinct 1 last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-407049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407049\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
