People actually vote for these clowns. Pathetic. Nothing will ever change. Give away a few fridges, promise some handouts, get your cousins a cushy government job, and you're set for life as a Caribbean politician.

Some things will never change and one is the corruption and thievery that occurs in the USVI government.

As an aside: Props to Mr. Kossler for the wordsmithing on that mouthful of an opening sentence.

It never changes... unnatural process... all life is meant to change.. but not the Vi

Not surprised, there is no accountability. That’s going to change in November ☹️

Well, that sounds reasonable. 🙄

Ha...... no surprise!

Such irresponsible assholes. Worthless all of them.

There has to be alternative means of employing the mentally retarded.
