AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Deep-Sea Mining Fight: Pacific leaders and local groups condemned the U.S. push toward offshore mineral leasing off American Samoa, warning it could harm the ocean and culture; Earthjustice and Faasao Amerika Samoa say the territory may become the first place for commercial deep-sea mining, while “Stand with the Moana” drew nearly 80 residents to oppose the plan. Local Governance & Budget: The American Samoa Government submitted its FY 2027 budget to the Fono, proposing $789.3 million in spending and outlining revenue and branch funding changes as lawmakers prepare hearings. Roads & Infrastructure: DPW secured a $19.3 million BUILD grant to rebuild the Route 001 Leone to Nu’uuli road, targeting safety and reliability on a key corridor. Public Safety: Firefighters responded to a Pago Pago house fire near Pago Pago Elementary, and the Fagatogo Fire Station reopened after earlier health-related closure. Citizenship Politics: U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith’s bill to end birthright citizenship in some territories sparked renewed backlash from Guam and CNMI leaders. Community & Culture: American Samoa welcomed the “Chasing Yesterday” endurance team, and Boys & Girls Clubs wrapped up its DIY ukulele project under the ASVB “Save the Music” program.
