AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Public Health Enforcement: Guam’s Department of Public Health is investigating violations of the ban on coral-hurting sunscreen chemicals (oxybenzone, octinoxate, octocrylene), working with Customs to flag shipments and ordering removal from commerce plus civil fines of $100 to $5,000 per violation. Education & Procurement: A GDOE oversight hearing zeroed in on a nearly $20M dispute with Core Tech International over unpaid school repair work, with GDOE arguing the contractor performed outside an expired contract and payment could violate procurement rules. Energy Costs & Household Impact: Residents weighed in on GPA’s proposed rate hike that could add about $58 per month starting July 1, ahead of a Thursday Public Utilities Commission decision. Cannabis Market Milestone: Guam’s Cannabis Control Board approved the first permit to operate for Deep Green Guam (Real Deal LLC), clearing a major hurdle for local production and sales after years of regulatory delays. Workforce Pipeline: UOG signed an MOU with Goodwind Development Corporation to expand internships, experiential learning, and workforce development for students and graduates. Military & Local Economy: Boeing’s MQ-28 Ghost Bat will join the US-led Valiant Shield exercise in the Pacific near Guam and the CNMI, signaling continued defense-linked activity. Tourism Recovery Watch: The Marianas Visitors Authority reported May arrivals down 82% year-over-year amid ongoing recovery from Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Local Business & Courts: Max’s Restaurant may avoid eviction if it makes an initial $50,000 settlement payment by June 30, with court follow-up set for July 8. Governance & Election: Republican gubernatorial teams faced Chamber questions on fiscal discipline, education funding, and modernization as Guam’s election season heats up.
