Guthertz Suggests Minor Change to Cruz's Military Buildup Vote Bill

Guam - Senator Judi Guthertz says that she has no problem with Vice-Speaker BJ Cruz's bill that would create a voter referendum on the military buildup.

Senator Guthertz says it's important for the Department of Defense to know how the people of Guam feel. She does however have some reservations with a section of the bill that asks what people think of leasing CLTC land or returning Ancestral lands. According to Guthertz questions surrounding the use of CLTC and Ancestral lands should be reserved for the indigenous Chamorro people. Vice-speaker Cruz's bill would allow the people of Guam to vote on whether or not they support the military buildup.
