GOVERNOR GRANTS LEAVE FOR INAUGURATION

Gov. Roy L. Schneider has granted administrative leave to non-essential government employees on all three islands from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 4, so they can participate in inaugural activities for Gov.-elect Charles W. Turnbull and Lt. Gov.-elect Gerard Luz James II.
In addition, Schneider granted administrative leave to all non-essential government employees in St. Croix for the full working day Tuesday, Jan. 5, when the inaugural festivities switch to that island.
"It is fitting and proper that inaugural celebrations be held to permit full participation by all residents of the Virgin Islands in this most auspicious occasion," Schneider said.
His order does not apply to essential employees, employees on a regular or rotating shift, or employees on annual or sick leave.
