    Fitial: Complete Reversal on Administration’s Stance on POB

    4
    After nearly 4 years of the Fitial Administration aggressively pushing for a Pension Obligation Bond (POB) and just a week after the Office of the Attorney General presented the POB to the Federal Courts as one of the Government's main solutions, Fitial has come out publicly and reversed that position completely. Fitial told reporters on 1/22/13  that a POB is not a solution for the NMIRF and stated that it would be too expensive and would incur more public debt. At the Federal Court Read more [...]

    Apology from Glen

    2
    I would like to apologize to anyone who received the dirty laundry I emailed out in haste earlier today [subject was Re: Tailored conversation]. I am coming under attack from certain people with hell-bent personal motives. The latest attacks label me an "opportunist". I can not imagine what profit anyone thinks that I stand to personally gain from pushing for government accountability and for all attempts to be made to try and sure up the NMIRF and stave off this administration's attempts Read more [...]

    New Media Statements by Huesman Counter Fund’s Filed Statements

    2
    In an odd turn of events, Braddock Huesman has issued media statements that directly counter the statements that he filed just weeks ago in favor of Receivership of the NMIRF. In a Marianas Variety article published today Huesman is quoted as saying that "The Fund’s Amended Answer and Cross Claims discloses that the new request of the Fund is for a receivership over the CNMI Department of Finance — and not over the Fund itself.” Huesman is now stating that the media may have caused confusion Read more [...]

    NMIRF Does Complete 180 In Terms of Receivership

    2
    For the past 3 years the NMIRF, their board of trustees and their hired outside legal counsel have fought against Federal Receivership at all costs. Clients and attorneys involved in the Roe/Doe (now Johnson) lawsuit were labeled destructive for filing a suit in Federal Court and asking for just that as a possible remedy - Federal Receivership.  Surprisingly, the NMIRF through its attorneys has just filed a document that is now in full agreement with what the NMIRF has been actively fighting against Read more [...]

    HB 17-315 Signed by Fitial – Now PL17-82

    50
    HB 17-315 also known as "The CNMI Pension Reform Act of 2012" is now law. It is Public Law 17-82.  The impacts this law will have on the NMIRF are not truly known. This is due to the fact that no analysis has been provided and it appears that no fiscal impact studies were ever conducted. I know that there has been a bit of discussion concerning HB 17-315 (which is now PL 17-82) and an earlier HB 17-312 (which is now law PL 17-79). Both these laws are more important than some may assume. They Read more [...]

    A Plea to Judge Govendo From the Son of Retirees

    6
    Judge Kenneth Govendo, I realize that there may be some pressure being placed on the local court to move the NMIRF vs. CNMI case into receivership in order to stave off any federal attempts at possible federal mediation or federal receivership. I would like to publicly request that if you are considering the idea of placing the NMIRF into local receivership that you suspend such action until after the Roe/Doe case has had a chance to be heard in Federal Court. It appears that the delay tactics Read more [...]
