TINIAN Sens. Karl King-Nabors and Frank Q. Cruz on Sunday vowed to “fight” for the $2.7 million that the administration and the House of Representatives cut from the fiscal year 2024 budget of the Tinian Mayor’s Office.
In separate interviews on Sunday, Nabors and Cruz said they don’t support House Bill 23-66, which the House passed on Thursday. The bill now goes to the Senate.
King-Nabors said they will “definitely” express their concerns once the Senate begins its budget deliberations.
He said toward the end of this week, they expect the Senate Fiscal Affairs Committee to hold a meeting, which should give Tinian officials, including Mayor Edwin P. Aldan, one last opportunity to provide the Senate committee with “a clear picture” of how American Rescue Plan Act monies had been spent by the mayor’s office.
