CNMI LAWMAKERS FAIL TO OVERRIDE BUDGET VETO Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/13/2009 - 00:00
Gov. Fitial said $165 million budget needs revising
SAIPAN, CNMI (Saipan Tribune, Jan. 13, 2009) – Members of the House of Representatives grilled Finance Secretary Eloy Inos yesterday, questioning the governor s eleventh hour veto of the fiscal year 2009 budget and use of cover-over funds to eliminate the fiscal year 2008 deficit.
Earlier in the day, the House failed to achieve a two-thirds majority to override Gov. Benigno Fitial s Dec. 24 veto of the $165.4 million budget for FY 2009. Fitial had cited a revised $8 million drop in estimated revenue to explain the veto action. He attributed the decline to the loss of Northwest Airlines Saipan-Osaka flights in March and the closure of the remaining garment factories on Saipan.
