The authors' statement came as a counterpoint to recent comments made by Gov. Ben Cayetano, who labeled the petition unfortunate. We need to keep our eye on the ball. The Broken Trust authors also disagree with Cayetano's publicly expressed opposition to the attorney general's role in trustee selection. State Supreme Court justices have said they will no longer select estate trustees. The attorney general legally is the only person with the authority and responsibility to represent the public's best interests, according to the Broken Trust authors' statement.
Somebody has to be ultimately responsible.
It's a major chore. We don't think anyone is in a better position to do that than the attorney general.
