9 named to transition panel
Newly designated Committee on Transition chair Gregorio M. Camacho has appointed a nine-person Transition Executive Committee to oversee the transition to the incoming administration of incumbent and governor-elect Eloy S. Inos and lieutenant governor-elect and Senate President Ralph DLG. Torres (R-Saipan).
Named to the panel are NMI Republican Party president James Ada as vice chairman and members Rufin S. Inos, Edward C. Deleon Guerrero, Esther S. Fleming, Mathilda A. Rosario, representative-elect Angel A. Demapan, and Torres brothers Vince, Victorino, and Joaquin.
The Dec. 10, 2014, letter was addressed to all CNMI government department and activity heads, boards, and commissions.
In related news, Inos has appointed Ivan Blanco as acting public information officer in lieu of Demapan who won a seat in the 19th House of Representatives.
Blanco, who already served in the same capacity while Demapan was campaigning during the last general election, also served as the GOP media & public relations chair in Inos’ successful run in the 2014 gubernatorial runoff.
“I’m confident that Ivan will do very well as acting press secretary as he demonstrated previously during the period that representative-elect Angel Demapan was on leave pursuant to the election law. Now, as representative-elect Demapan is both transitioning out for his new role at the Legislature and as member of my transition executive committee, I’m sure he will again serve in this acting capacity to the best of his ability,” said Inos.
