Budsan Says Bryan Owes Reporter an Apology

Dear Source,
Delegate Bryan, I was appalled to read your statements against the members of the East Indian community and that of other members of our community at previous plenary sessions for the constitutional convention. You were elected by the people of the Virgin Islands of all backgrounds, while every one has a right to free speech, it does not give someone the right to prejudge people based upon their skin color, race or nationality. I ask that you publicly apologize to the public for your actions at these previous hearings.
Thank you Delegate Monsanto for not accepting this behavior and I hope that a more civil tone and decorum between the delegates and the public is adhered to in the future. In closing I hope that more members of the public attend these meetings to voice what YOU want in YOUR constitution.
Jason Budsan
St.Thomas
