Someone must look at negotiating with the businesses for a possible contribution for a &#8220;portable toilet.&#8221; We have enough problems maintaining our public toilets along Micro Beach, Beach Road, Garapan, San Jose down to San Antonio right in front of my house. I have observed local people having social activities in these areas yet they cannot use the toilets because those responsible to maintain the toilets claim they don&#8217;t have the &#8220;budget&#8221; to do so. If they cannot fix those that are right in front of the faces of our responsible leaders, then to erect a &#8220;public toilet&#8221; at Mt. Tapochau is not recommended. A contribution from businesses, with at least a tax incentive in return for maintaining it, will do the trick. <\/p>\n<p>Jose Castro<br \/>\nSpanaway, Washington<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone has asked the government to build &#8220;toilets&#8221; at Mount Tapochau so that tourists will not wet their pants.
