Legislature: Palau’s House of Delegates has reshuffled committee leadership after a chamber leadership change, with Portia Franz-Kesolei taking the Ways and Means chair. Ngardmau Dispute: Acting Gov. Terrence Miozawa says the state government is operating under its existing budget authority, rejecting claims it has no governor or funding as the impeachment dispute continues ahead of a Nov. 13 special election. Environmental Policy: Senate Bill 12-86 would expand the deposit-refund recycling program to food, fuel and cleaning-product containers, with a 10-cent deposit. Foreign Relations: President Surangel Whipps Jr. has defended Palau’s choice to maintain ties with Taiwan despite pressure from Beijing. Palau has also opened its first embassy in Australia, in Canberra, as it builds regional ties.
