A PART-TIME LEGISLATURE IS A GOOD IDEA ANY TIME TO PUT THE PUBLIC INTEREST AHEAD OF SELF-INTEREST

Letter to the Editor

Part-time legislature does away with pomp and perks

Klitzkie
(Editor's note: Former Sen. Robert Klitzkie disagrees with parts of The Guam Daily Post editorial on the part-time legislature idea. He italicized parts from the editorial, followed by his comments. He also feels the issue has never been debated by the legislature, although discussions have been made about the idea, but these talks didn't reach the legislative session floor for debate.)  
Editor:
“Pursuing a part-time legislature isn’t a good idea right now,” read the headline on today’s editorial. What you said is italicized.
"A part-time legislature would save money, but it could bring a number of disadvantages. For one, it could make the Legislature less representative of the community."
Now the legislature is primarily representative of those who have worked for a GOP or Democratic administration. Sen. Castro apparently still is!
