Governor Gummed up: Guam fact check

In light of recent threats from that nut job in North Korea, ABC post some info about Guam.

It makes the following claims about who is in charge:

Who rules in Guam?
Guam is run by an elected governor, currently Democrat Madeleine Bordallo.
The territory has a 15-member legislature made up of senators.


Hmmm, Madeleine Mary Zeien Bordallo is the Delegate from the United States territory of Guam to the United States House of Representatives.

The current governor is Edward Jerome "Eddie" Baza Calvo. The eighth and current Governor of the United States territory of Guam since 2011 and a member of the Republican Party.

Here's the governor's most recent address.

Basic facts...FAIL.

Updated: Took them a little while but it seems ABC have now corrected their article. Oddly they have left off the respective political parties.
