A STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR OF GUAHAN |
|
March 22, 2010 Governor Felix P. Camacho issued the following statement regarding today’s passage of H.R. 3590, the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” by the U.S. House of Representatives:
“The needs of our island’s 170,000 residents, and the other four million Americans in the U.S. Territories, were ignored in the comprehensive healthcare reform measure passed by the House. The legislation does not address the concerns of Guahan and her people, and fails to provide equal treatment in Medicaid and Medicare. Additionally, the bill falls short in including Guahan into health insurance exchanges, and only exacerbates the disparities in federal healthcare policy affecting our island and the other Insular Area governments.” |

Detailed Personnel to Focus on Tax Collections |
|
Nearly 30 detailed personnel will temporarily assist in collecting additional revenues for DRT
March 18, 2010
Governor Felix P. Camacho has called for nearly 30 government employees to be detailed to the Department of Revenue and Taxation (DRT) starting April 1st. This measure is a part of the governor’s effort to collect revenues that are currently not being collected by DRT due to a lack of manpower and resources.
“There are areas and projects within DRT that, if given more resources, including personnel, we could collect millions more in additional revenues for the government,” said Gov. Camacho. “This department is responsible for collecting the revenues that our government depends on. Their success means being able to pay our hospital, our school system, our police force, and reducing our deficit. We need them to be successful.”
The administration is currently identifying personnel throughout departments and agencies that possess some financial background to assist in the collections of the following areas/projects: GEDA Qualifying Certificates, real estate review, updating W-1s, updating 1099s, military contract compliance, accounts receivable collection seizures, Dept. of Labor listing compliance, military housing income, entertainment industry withholding taxes, and the report generation of non-filers.
“This initiative will help reduce the deficit by increasing revenues without having to increase taxes,” said DRT Director Art Illagan.
In addition to the governor’s intent to provide immediate support to collect additional revenues, Illagan is simultaneously in the process of hiring permanent personnel.
According to the law, government employees may be detailed for a maximum of 90 days. However, federally funded employees are not eligible for detail.
