The Legislature s oversight and roundtable hearings with the Guam State Historic Preservation Office were rescheduled to April 22, which will address the multiple ancient burials at Camp Blaz, protocols for human remains on base and more.
The oversight will be at 3:30 p.m. and entirely virtual. The roundtable will begin at 5 p.m. and allow both virtual and in-person participation at the Guam Congress Building.
The oversight and roundtable come after Pacific Daily News in March reported that there were numerous Latte period burials at Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz, and that neither the preservation office nor military were sharing much information.
PERKASIE â Perkasie Borough Ward 3 councilman Scott Bomboy will run for re-election this year as an independent, non-affiliated candidate, he said in a statement.
âIn 2018, I dropped my party affiliation for several reasons. I am the editor of a non-partisan center that deals with constitutional issues. Iâm also an elected official in Perkasie Borough,â he said. âI felt there could be a perceived conflict as an elected official belonging to a partisan political party while working in a non-partisan editorial capacity.â
Bomboy was appointed to council in September 2016 to fill the unexpired term of a councilwoman who had resigned, and he won election to his Ward 3 position in November 2017. Since then, Bomboy has chaired two newly created Borough committees on public safety and historical issues.
