THANK you and your professional journalists for revealing that the Air Force Divert Facility project for Tinian has been postponed for a year, although it was the worst possible news that the people of Tinian could receive at this time. We had been hoping that construction would begin this year, or very early next year, to provide some cash-flow for our island, and, ultimately, for the CNMI.
The question is: Why did the people of Tinian have to wait so long to find out about the change in status for a military project on our island? The answer to that question is: The governor has refused to implement the Tinian Civilian-Military Advisor Council, as provided for in the Technical Agreement to the Covenant.
