Home buyers today aren’t just looking for a place to hang their hats. They’re seeking sustainable sanctuaries that lessen their environmental impact. But the cherry on top? The potential for significant cost savings. This is especially true when it comes to homes built to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Zero Energy Ready Homes™ specifications. It’s not just a purchase, it’s a step toward a more sustainable and cost-effective future.

THE TRUTH of the matter is the “scatter-brain approach to rebuilding our Economy” that I wrote about was not just supposition but indeed FACT! The Governor wanted to focus on Japan but it seems the GOP that are left is taking the lead when they (Ralph & Crew) were the ones who killed our Economy. I figuratively wouldn’t follow Jude Hofschneider across the street, as I don’t trust him any further than I can see him. This is the same guy who conducted a Kangaroo Trial in the Senate and now he has convinced our legislature to go against the Governor’s goal of re-establishing the Japanese as our primary tourists — scatter-brain! The GOP is still alive and well working against Arnold for his departure from the Party. So, pay attention citizens of the CNMI, as our leaders are fighting among themselves and WE are caught in the middle.
