BREAKING NEWS: Congressman San Nicolas readies second Organic Act amendment to fix tax refunds

After announcing an initial Organic Act Amendment putting the power of local tax increases into the hands of the people, Congressman San Nicolas announces a second draft is in process.

"Our data clearly shows that the law to deposit tax refunds has not been followed for many years and sadly that trend continues to this day. Currently we are over $21million short in mandated tax refund deposits - a 28.71% shortfall to mandated local totals - and as such we will now move forward an Organic Act amendment to compel the deposit of tax refunds, as prescribed by local Guam law," stated Congressman San Nicolas.

This second Organic Act Amendment draft is consistent with Congressman San Nicolas's track record of fighting for tax refunds, and was proposed in his Resolution 310 - 34 seeking an Organic Act Amendment in the 34th Guam Legislature.

"Not only was the solution proposed in Resolution 310-34 not embraced by local leadership back then, we can clearly see a complete lack of attention from local leaders today, with tax refunds flowing to their slowest pace in years and local politicians complicit in their silence" said Congressman San Nicolas. "We can either slip further backwards, or we can compel these deposits once and for all in the Organic Act and solve this problem for our people," San Nicolas concludes.
