SAIPAN, CNMI (Saipan Tribune, Sept. 5, 2012) – Gov. Benigno R. Fitial told members of the House leadership yesterday that he will soon address the impeachment allegations against him, including those in connection with the 25-year power purchase agreement, even as his administration describes as frivolous the impeachment resolution that the House minority bloc will formally introduce today.
Fitial met with at least eight House leadership members over lunch yesterday, but the meeting was mostly on economic development plans, including making the CNMI a regional airline hub.
