- This has not been a good week for Lou Leon Guerrero or the government of Guam. On Tuesday, scenes of waterfall through Guam Memorial Hospital alarmed Guamanians and triggered a bipartisan legislative response for the governor to be a better leader of the island's only public hospital. Then last night - to the thunderous roar of hundreds at a legislative town hall meeting on Simon Sanchez High School rebuilding - Chris Barnett went on a three-minute tirade about the governor's failure to make good on her promise to rebuild SSHS... as the governor herself stared him down two chairs away.
The freshman senator, who chairs the legislative education oversight committee, emphasized to the SSHS students that politicians since 2013 have been promising them and their predecessors that campus development would soon be underway. The SSHS campus has been shut down due to major safety and health issues. The students, assembled at the John F. Kennedy High School campus, are sharing the school through a double session program.
SSHS students punctuated every one of his sentences with riotous applause, shouting even louder each time the senator told students not to believe what the governor had just told them about the progress the administration is making toward the more-than-decade-old promise to rebuild the Yigo campus.
People in the crowd captured a confrontation between the governor and the senator following the town hall meeting, where the governor could be seen pointing her finger at Mr. Barnett's face while she and the senator were exchanging words. The viral videos could not capture what was said, as they were filmed from far off.
The SSHS campus development saga has had several twists and turns since 2013, when educator Gretchen Andres and her students first made public waves about the conditions at the school. Several procurement attempts have faltered. Ms. Leon Guerrero recently has blamed the stalemate between her office and the attorney general for the present impasse in the development, which remains at the project management procurement stage.
You may watch Mr. Barnett's speech here:

Bad example to the students. Adults fighting SMH
The schools the kids are dealing with are pathetic and are a really bad example for them
As one of the leaders of Guam you are a disrespectful guy. You could have went about it a different way but you chose to show off in front of the camera and the people of Guam you ain't s*** yourself Chris. Be more respectful Che'lu sa your not at the radio station. Aii si chris🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Be more respectful? Serious.
This governor and LT have destroyed this island. Schools condemned, hospital should be condemned, government offices condemned, prison should be condemned, tumon full of trash and abandoned buildings everywhere, crime at record highs, GPD corrupt, Drugs rampant, power unstable, taxes at record highs, the list goes on and on.
Glad Chris is saying it how it is! Hope more senators follow instead of being sheep and making the island worse.
Sometimes people have been respectful for far too long
And that is one of the reason why you chamorro people can learn s***. Let alone speak your own language you better check yourself chelu.
