HOW CAN GOVERNMENT JUSTIFY $400,000 PAYOUT?

Dear Source:
I, as many other people, were shocked about the possibility of an employee of the Government of the VI being able to put in for such benefits as past sick leave pay, etc. How can the Government, in the state that it's in, justify a law that allows for this?
And based upon what the Governor has stated about there being no funds to pay retroactive wages, Judge Hodge should be at the end of the line for his money. There can be no justification to pay Judge Hodge and not pay retroactive wages which are just as legal.
Dr. Susan G.S. Anderson
