To clear up an issue in a VI Source article. The Cockayne family did not pay off witnesses with "several thousand Dollars'" as was stated in the VI Source.

They gave a promised reward to two individuals after the defendants were found guilty. The exact amount of the reward was $10,000.00 divided between two witnesses whose testimony never changed from the night of Jamie Cockayne's murder.

Another man fraudulently received a loan from the Cockayne family and then left the island and never paid the family back.

The Governor will not sign the VI legislature's budget as presented and it will now go into effect without his signature. He will now have to make the necessary cuts to try to keep the government running based on the budget passed by the 29th legislature. The budget recently passed by the senate has a short fall of millions of dollars. The V.I. Senate approved a total General Fund appropriation level of about $831.3 million. The governor's team revised revenue projections at $830.1 million for 2011 and recommended an $811.8 million budget with a operating budget of about a $1.2 billion.

How many more businesses and jobs lost will it take our government to realize they really have to do something fast.

What is better? Paying $200 to WAPA for the LEAC (and that dollar amount will vary by customer) that goes to just purchasing more fuel, or the customer being able to go out into the community to purchase goods and services that should lead to more businesses opening and job creation with that $200?

Hello everyone

I am gathering information on what you do when the threat of a severe storm such as a hurricane is approaching. How many people on your Island do you think are prepared?

Are you the reader prepared and if so, why do you consider yourself to be. I have lived on Barbados and Hawaii and now am in Georgia in the USA.

I'm planning to visit St. Croix soon to expand my company. I would like to meet some business owners in the mean time.

After the amazing feat of memorising over 2000 business names and 18,000 digits from the Sydney Yellow Pages, Australian Memory Champion Tansel Ali has embarked on another adventure and developed an iPhone Application to help the average learner realise that we can all have a phenomenal memory.

I am 62 years young and have flexable dates. Need room on St. John for 7-10 days Feb/Mar.Any ideas...affordable!!

I attended the amazingly emotionally moving and deep touching Memorial "Celebration of Life" for our Sis Frank last Saturday.
One thing was very clear....Sis Frank and the loving energy in action that followed her everywhere helped coin the nickname 'Love City" for St. John.
As I looked around the school...at the diversity of people present...the heart-warming testimonies of either music or words "from the heart" it was obvious that this amazing woman did something awesome and legendary to the community that we all call home.

After reading the article titled, "Housing Finance Authority Buy's Five Acres in Coral Bay", it was inevitable that I posted a response. It is very interesting that Mr. Graham would indicate that the reason why only 2 of the 24 townhouses were sold in Calabash Boom is because the location is a far distance from Cruz Bay...and this is even more a hindrance to sales if you work on St. Thomas.

While the public awaits the formation of the 29th legislature, shouldn't a freeze be placed on any authorship of a bill(s) by a senator to the legal councils office awaiting a bill number before being sworn in?

Just a note to thank all those who went out to cover the storm damage on the West End. For those of use who were/ are off Island really appreciated the efferts to capture still and video images to see just how bad the damage was. Now EVERYONE needs to get involved to gets repairs made to the area that all the visitors to St Croix will see
