The American Samoa High School Athletic Association (ASHSAA) Boys Basketball season, will be closing out its 4th week of action today, with the South Pacific Academy Dolphins going against the Faga’itua Vikings and the Manumalo Baptist Academy Flames, taking on the Fa’asao Marist Crusaders, with both of venues ‘To Be Announced’ (TBA).

The recent brouhaha about Sen. Tulifua Tini Lam Yuen voicing on the Senate floor what ‘everyone’ has alleged goes on in the Fono, as well as the government — the behind door deals, the pointed investigations into pet peeves, votes on behalf of friends and family, etc. is an interesting turn of events in this local campaign 2012 season.

In fact, I would like to thank Senator Tulifua for his remarks, because it has allowed a very public glimpse of what is going on behind the scenes with the 2012 gubernatorial campaign.
