Your prejudice is so clear, but I will forgive you for your behavior since it is obvious that you are suffering from Russellitist. Senator Russell is only one vote there are 14 others who you need to hold to the fire. I can pick on a few more including Senator Dowe who playing up to the Dejongh administration so badly that if the people are going to lose out here is were you start. Aren't the Senators working for the people? We need checks and blances fairly. He is the go to guy for this administration and he does not hide it. So if we need changes in act 6905 call on Senator Dowe let's see if he is going to put forth a bill to repeal it? Indigenous Virgin Islander.

None of them deserve another opportunity to serve. I will not vote again for any of them. It is sad, tough, that some will be re-elected. Even Senator Russell predicts that he will be re-elected. I think his prediction will happen. Politicians are expert liars. Those who are lawyers are even more adept at misleading the masses. Russell acts stupid and makes idiotic remarks;however, he is a genius politician. This is why he has a radio talk show. It is the perfect opportunity to fool the masses. The truth is an offense. The illiterate, uneducated, and plain stupid vote for people who appeal to their emotions.They are not analytical and do not have the ability to discern facts from myths. Hitler was a genius politician. People who tell the truth do not often get elected;some get assasinated. Martin Luther King, Jr.,Jesus Christ, and Ghandi are examples of people who were killed for speaking truths. I agree that all the senators and the governor are enjoying the benefits of Act 5905.

Don't just blame the minority senators. Blame the majority and the Governor. They are silently enjoying the benefits they reaped from 6905. Let's be fair, did any of them reject the salary increases? The answer is NO. So I hold all of them responsible and will not vote for any of them. I agree all the Senators as well as the Governor are responsible for 6905. Don’t just blame the minority

If this is your desire, you'll never awake from your dream. The WAPA issue is not a hewly created monster. It requires time to resolve. With the cooperation of all the key players, the monster can be destroyed. We should have more faith in our elected officials. They can all work amicably to resolve the matter.Look at their record in terms of approving certain legislation. As far as I am concern, it is not a mere coincident that the minority senators propose legislation that appeal to emotions rather than sound judgement It is sad that many are fooled by their gimmickry. Michael Springer, please educate the confused Crucians about how Act 6905 came about. The instant relief some are seeking is the impossible dream.

Why don't you ask the rest of them the same questions. You seem to have a prejudice against these three. Kinda blind to the others. I kind see that someone is wearing blinders. See thats why people don't take you serious. You target one group, but it is okay that the rest of them voted on 6905. Wow I see clearly now, you have open up my understanding where you are coming from. I believe you have to hold everyones feet to the fire including the Govenor you praise so much. How come he hasn't rejected his salary or said something about it. I guess silence is better.

We can not expect this current administration to overturn and correct what took years to destroyed in just one year. I have faith in the Governor and his plans for revitalizing the Virgin Islands. It could be much worst. Our economy is not the only one that are suffering. It's all over the United States in case you all didn't notice. We as a people need to have patience.

I am amazed that some people actually believe that Serville, James, Hill, and Russell care about the welfare of WAPA customers. Are they aware that this site is called act6905.com? These four senators are exploiting your emotions. Think! They want your vote;these four bandits can pay their WAPA bills.If you're not convinced that they are the ones who are insincere, ask them to pay your WAPA bills? Ask them to repeal Act 6905. Ask them to submit a proposal that is acceptable to the other senators, WAPA officials, and the governor.
