The six-year terms of all three Commonwealth Casino Commission commissioners from Saipan will end by next month.
CCC executive director Edward C. Deleon Guerrero said in a recent interview that the terms of CCC chair Juan M. Sablan and commissioners Joseph C. Reyes and Alvaro A. Santos will end on April 30. That means only two commissioners would be left: Ramon M. Dela Cruz of Tinian and Diego M. Songao of Rota. Both have four more years to serve.
Gov. Ralph DLG Torres will have to appoint three commissioners from Saipan by May 1 in order for the commission to have quorum, Deleon Guerrero said.
Sablan, who was sworn into office in October 2014, said the past five years have been a very challenging but fruitful experience. In his letter to Torres last Thursday, Sablan said he has always been a supporter of the casino industry simply because he knew the potential it has to infuse revenue for the CNMI.
He said his goal since the start has been to ensure that the licensee, Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC, is compliant with CNMI laws.
