AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Hospital Funding Watch: Guam’s Adelup report shows Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero’s ARP “new hospital” allocation falling from $103.543M (March) to $83.543M (April), with only $555,555 spent and $82.988M encumbered as the Dec. 31, 2026 deadline looms—still tied up in a long-running fight with AG Douglas Moylan. Pacific Games Logistics: Sailing and va’a venue plans for the Pacific Games shifted to Mulifanua after wreckage issues in Vaiusu Bay, with venue choice now guided by a World Sailing technical officer. Energy Costs: ASPA fuel surcharge is set to jump, pushing residential rates from 38¢/kWh (April) to 46¢/kWh (May), and making fuel costs a big driver of bills. Deep-Sea Mining Pushback: American Samoa’s deep-sea mining debate is heating up—Gov. Pulaali’i has set up a Deep Sea Minerals Steering Committee, while local groups are circulating a community letter to the Fono urging stronger safeguards. Regional Security & Trade: A Pacific security forum warned that deep-sea mining targets are tied to future military tech, while a GAO report flags slow, late Compact of Free Association funding and audits across the Freely Associated States.
