"Is there nothing he will not steal????" the message read. I looked at the attached jpg file. It was another lie...er, press release from lil' lyin' cousin Eddie Calvo. What a laughable effort.
Calvo, faced with the embarrssing report from the Office of Public Accountability audit showing the government's qualifying certificate program benefits to the island's economy is unknown, decided to come up with a shameless rip off of a line of argument pushed by senator ben pangelinan and vice speaker BJ Cruz.
Now, his campaign of deceit continues its relentless and unprecedented devotion to lying to the people of Guam with this latest.
Despite the fact that he vetoed a bill by pangelinan in April that sought to put in place a moratorium on the QC program and establish a QC Review Board and an Accountability and Transparency Website, Calvo now wants the public to believe he has always been against QCs for insurance companies. The history of the facts is not at all what he is selling these days.
Then, when Calvo vetoed Bill 9, the precious little liar told media, "GEDA already performs the oversight function." Now we know that was merely another lie...or, if one is to extend to Calvo the benefit of the doubt that he was not lying then, it is clear evidence of how incompetent he is as a chief executive. But, it is more likely, he is simply a really bad liar.
Senator ben pangelinan sought to create a Qualifying Certificate review board, and had support to pass Bill #9. However, in the end, 3 Republican senators who originally voted for Bill #9, switched their votes after a heavyhanded lobbying effort by Calvo to force a GOP Party line vote to keep QC handouts hidden and free of independent review.
SelectCare may not have a QC, as they are merely a general agent for Tokio Marine., but Tokio Marine owes more than $500,000 in taxes, and has had even more abated by Rev & Tax - another agency that just coincidentally, under the Calvo administration has refused to even properly collect, track or document large corporate tax debts.
Don't think SelectCare's lack of a QC means they pay what they should....guess how much the company has been abated. Now...Add to that, the millions they will not payback to GovGuam and their insurance subscribers in medical loss ratio (MLR) rebates, and you can understand the enormous value of the deceptions practiced by Calvo.
Pangelinan said only three months ago, “The people of Guam are potentially being denied hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenues because of a lack of independent review when awarding qualifying certificates.”
In this latest lie coming from the crackheads at Adelup, Calvo shamelessly manipulates the facts, the truth and the office of governor in a desperate attempt to cover up what is rapidly being exposed as the most corrupt periods in Guam history.
The Calvo insurance business takes no risks as do the other three insurers NetCare, StayWell and TakeCare, which are actual carriers. Calvo's insurance as a Property & Casual company does, however, have a QC, from what I understand.
With Bill 19 hijacked by Bill 20, the set up is in place. Removing the tax exempt status from the competition to Calvo's SelectCare is the final phase of a brilliantly corrupt scheme that will make the take over of GMH revenues almost a done deal for the Calvos...especially if Eddie is given a second term.
