Budget Showdown: Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero vetoed Guam’s FY2027 $1.4B general appropriations bill, saying it cuts business privilege tax revenue without a responsible plan to protect healthcare and other essential services; she sent a revised balanced budget keeping the 4% BPT rate while restoring funding for child care, public safety, and more. Child Care Crisis: Lawmakers recessed a special session over a $7.6M childcare subsidy bill covering payments for July–September for 2,730 kids, drawing pushback from providers worried delays could force closures. Education Oversight: Sen. Vince Borja demanded clarification after Science is Fun and Awesome Learning Academy (SIFA) planned a move into George Washington High School classrooms, with special education teachers raising “serious concerns” about the impact. Public Safety Tech: Guam Police body-worn camera rules moved closer to implementation after a public hearing on when officers record, how footage is stored, and who can access it. Homelessness Housing: A transitional housing facility for families opened in Anigua with 18 units, using about $2.1M in federal funding and offering up to two years of case management. Local Funding: GEDA opened Series 9 of its village mayor community contribution grants, making up to $15,000 available for 19 mayors’ offices for initiatives and facility improvements. Elections Aftermath: Guam’s 2026 primary turnout hit 39.81%, and the gubernatorial race is set for November between Terlaje-Perez and Ada-Calvo. Workforce: The Department of Labor received a $609,335 federal grant to expand apprenticeship training, with potential to grow to $1.8M over three years.
