The Tinian and Aguiguan Legislative Delegation passed yesterday morning an amended local bill appropriating $112,000 in poker license fees for patients’ subsistence allowance, medical referral, scholarship and other activities including $15,000 for the four-member delegation’s own spending.
House Local Bill 18-48, Draft 1 passed by a vote of 4-0. The bill, authored by Rep. Trenton Conner (Ind-Tinian), now goes to the governor for action.
The amendment includes removal of $10,000 originally proposed for payment of a court judgment, and gives the amount instead to the Tinian delegation, chaired by Sen. Frank Borja (Ind-Tinian).
The Tinian delegation gets a total of $15,000 under the amended local bill—$3,000 of which was taken from the Tinian Municipal Scholarship, and $2,000 from Tinian Health Center’s medical referral program.
Of the total $112,000 proposed appropriation, $45,000 is for the monthly subsistence allowance of patients on dialysis, those with cancer, multiple sclerosis, debilitating epilepsy seizure disorder and dermatomytositis, as well as post-cerebral vascular accident patients.
The Tinian Municipal Scholarship gets $35,000, while the Tinian and Aguiguan Legislative Delegation, $15,000.
Tinian Little League gets $10,000, while $5,000 goes to expenses related to the Attorney General’s Cup. The remaining $2,000 goes to the Tinian Health Center’s medical referral program.
