Last update: 8 hours agoHospital Funding Crunch: Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero called a special Guam Legislature session Tuesday to approve $15.9 million for Guam Memorial Hospital’s electronic health records replacement, warning delays could trigger a “catastrophic blackout” of billing and patient records; the bill also folds in $4 million for UOG’s Blue Economy Innovation Center at the Fadian Hatchery. Power Rates Watch: The Public Utilities Commission will review Guam Power Authority’s Levelized Energy Adjustment Clause (LEAC) Thursday after GPA reported a $37 million fuel “under-recovery,” with global oil prices pushing pressure on the next possible fuel surcharge change. Freight Costs: Maersk announced a new $500 container surcharge for shipments to the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq, with Guam listed among “regulated countries” getting later deadlines. Tourism Incentives: GEDA is rolling out the Enhancing Tourism Aesthetic Program starting Oct. 1, offering tax credits and abatements to spur “responsible private sector investment” that improves tourism-facing commercial properties. Workforce Tech: Guam’s Department of Labor is adding AI to HIREGUAM to help job seekers and employers, but the key question is whether it improves outcomes—so a “human handoff scorecard” is urged to track real performance gains.
