A very well written and informative article. Like the author, I am a proponent of growth and economic development, however, any deals implemented must be equitable. The situation in the Virgin Islands, particulary on St. Croix is a bread and butter issue. The youths are despondent and in need of jobs. However, we cannot accept any and all deals proposed.

Come on GOVERNOR and everybody who voted on this bad deal!Why the GOVERNOR did not buy back VITELCO,Island Daries, and the Cruzan Rum. Let’s get back what we have lost because of bad political games.

That Diageo fiasco is not a done deal yet. Many legal issues were raised during the Senate hearings. It’s only a matter of time before lawsuits are filed in this matter. And yes, Dewolf has yet to address the energy issue. Did your hear the same idiot Hill saying that one of the reasons we should support the Diageo contract is the high costs of fuel and electricity? I was waiting to hear him convert Diageo shafting us into some sort of relief in those two areas. Any relief brought by Diageo in those areas will be more than offset by what it will cost us to recover from being shafted by 12 misleaders, without the luxury and comfort of LUBRICATION!!

Does anyone know if the Governor negotiated this agreement after drinking a few bottles of Captain Morgan rum? This agreement raises so many questions it would take several pages to list them all. Hovensa must be laughing at us right now. I can hear them now: How dare the VI Government approach us to reopen negotiations when they’re giving Diageo such a sweet deal?

Thank you very much…..as I mention in the article I’m pro development for these Virgin Islands, however we must carefully scrutinize and analyze these proposal as they come before us so that we can make the right inform decision.
