"Democrats are on notice that further wrecking the economy of the CNMI will come at a price - unfortunately, potentially harming American Samoa."

A price to who? The Democrats get no votes from American Samoa. Democrats have repeatedly shown that they are more than willing to sacrifice multitudes of innocents to get and keep power. They have no heart, no soul, and no concern for the country. It is only a cheap arithmetic based on votes an power that they are concerned with.

A price to Nancy Pelosi, who will be hammered every time an exception is made for American Samoa but not elsewhere. Starkist is headquartered in her district, is it not?

And a price to the Democrat representative from American Samoa, who does have some power on committees and needs to be reelected.
