More than half of the contributions Delegate to Congress Donna Christensen has received in the current election cycle are linked to a Washington contractor who is the subject of a federal inquiry.
According to an article today in the Washington Post, Christensen has received at least $37,000 from contractor Jeffrey Thompson, who is suspected of using “straw” or phantom donors to evade contribution limits that are set for candidates running for office. His operations have drawn the attention of Federal authorities.
According to the article, Thompson’s accounting firm Thompson, Cobb, Brazilio and Associates, has 189 contracts with the federal government, worth $17.1 million. The company has done some business in the Virgin Islands, auditing grant funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Highway Administration. TCBA recently advertised for an accounting position based in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.
Recently, Christensen has urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate the election system of the Virgin Islands, citing public discontent with the way the Board of Elections in operating. Perhaps this current development will hasten their acceptance of her request.
As many of you heard recently, CIF President Michael Springer, at left, delivered the first in a series of radio announcements that will target specific issues and offer analysis on our most pressing concerns.
The feedback on the comments was extremely positive, so CIF will sponsor then as often as possible, and we thank those of you who have already donated! But airtime costs money and we're seeking your help.

That was good Mr Springer.
So we’re supposed to take a retard like you seriously, you who couldn’t even crack the top 10 in a primary? Well this gives arrogance and stupidity a whole new definition. Mr.Springer, you ain’t got it fool. Go back in the corner and make that dunce cap fit like it will if you give it a real chance.
Dat was the bomb Crucians In focus, keep up the work.
I just heard Senator Russell’s response. That wasn’t the bomb, that was nuclear.
Yeh dude, now tell him respond to todays article in the avis playboy. who laugh last laugh deh best…..who’s laughing now.
Ronnie Rascal is a con artist. He has fooled those who think the government can pay their LEAC charge. The government owes WAPA and Hovensa already sells WAPA fuel oil at a 20% discount rate. The rascal does not even pay his grandmother’s WAPA bill or have her fed properly. The information about the rascal’s mistreatment of his o grandmother was reported by his uncle in the Sunday-Monday Avis. Who really has the anti-social personality?
You had my vote for a moment, HAD MY VOTE……you are a low BASTARD. Hope you loose.
Now I know why a raoch like Springer was humiliated in the primary. A pathetic uncle waits until 2 days before an election to reveal some sorry ass story about a mother he himself abandoned for decades and now we’re supposed to believe this poltical ploy? This lame attempt to discredit Ronnie still isn’t an answer for his ad about you Mr. Springer. Deny his charges. You can’t. I wonder if Repo and Rena(Ms. Avis) have anything in common? Hmmmm. Sorry Uncle Angel, ain’t gonna work. We’re supporting Senator Russell. Next time come with the goods earlier. Our minds are already made up. We categorically rejected Repo the Rumhead in September and we’re rejecting Rivera(Gonzalo too) in November.
Those people who support Ronnie Rascal need to be reminded that he voted for Act6905 and the Legislative Report by Generation Now shows he is an ineffective senator. I wonder where he got his law degree, since the bill he drafted called the WAPA Consumer Rescue Act was so flawed and contrary to the VI Code. He should have become a comedian, instead of a legislator. His comical antics never cease to amuse me.
All that I can do is laugh at how “supposedly” local Crucians allow themselves to be manipulated by frauds over and over again. Repo the Rumhead is one of these idiots who will continue to be used by these failures from St. Elsewhere who are overnight success stories in paradise. God help us all.
The truth about this fiasco will come out eventually.
Hey please don’t ever delete this sound bite from your website. This is remarkable!
Guess who is laughing now that it is official the rascal is out. The uncle’s letter must have been an effective election ploy. If Michael Springer played a role, why was the letter not printed prior to the primary? Perhaps, credit should be given to Roger Morgan. The uncle called Free Speech and he was very articulate and credible. The rascal’s son called but was too ashamed to identify himself to the uncle. The son was not credible and appeared to be incoherent.This is one Crucian who has not been duped by the rascal. He did not get my vote and he lost the election. We’ll probably hear him whining about the machines being rigged.I’m laughing at this moment as I think about his ridiculous comments about why his grandmother had to move.Are you laughing too?
Well, Indigenous Virgin Islander, what blow you got, Senator Russell handle his lost like a man. He still has postive hopes and dreams for the Virgin Islands and I hope he keeps active and involved. He is a fine person who was undermind by low class individuals like you. Guess what he is an acomplish attorney and has a lucrative practice he can go back to he’s not going to be on the street peddling for money. It’s people like you that always trying to keep your own people down. Roger Morgan and people come to place like this because they can’t make it where they come from, but they fool people like you because you don’t know better. Roger Morgan has a goal to distroy and conquer. His talk show exposes the worst kind of individuals this community has to offer. People of his complexion feel that black people are still mentally inslaved as long as your white your right, but I am not fooled. I believe in my people and I hold them in high regards above the rest. Senator Russell will always have my support in whatever he chooses to take his political career. He is a committed Virgin Islander that has his people back and I am so proud to know that he was given an opportunity to serve. He was brave enouch to face the most hostile and evil forces within this community and continue to hold his integrity. I am greatful form his humble and generous conern for my people. He was right to offer us some relief through hard times that’s a sign that he is willing to go the extreme to protect his people from any undo hardships. By the way how come it was ok for the BVI Prime Minister to pay for half the electrical bill for their consumers in the month of December and it was wrong to suggest that the USVI do the same for us? Don’t we deserve some relief too?
Let’s stick to debating issues and not waste time attacking individuals we don.t even know. Does it make any sense to compare the U.S.V.I. to an independent country? As long as a person has the necessary capital and a desire to succeed, the American dream can be realized in the territory. Roger Morgan chooses to live here;he is an American citizen and has the same rights as persons who were born here.I am not aware that he has a sinister plot to destroy and conquer, but apparently certain persons can read his mind. Remember Sen.Russell accused Morgan of trying to overthrow the government. This is hilarious to me.Morgan is not capable of harming a fly.Your paranoia is clouding your judgment. You are much too emotional and attached to Sen. Russell. I would not be surprise to learn you are related to the rascal. I am not afraid of Morgan or any white person living here.He is not a guru to me.Only my Creator has the power to influence my thoughts and behavior.I appreciate the fact that Morgan allows callers to express their opinions freely. Sen. Russell;however, wanted to take away our 1st and 4th amendment rights.Further, it was stupid of him to expect the government to pay the LEAC charge for all WAPA consumers. By the way, this would mean that Morgan, whom you appear to hate, would get this same deal.One heart, one love, let’s get together and feel alright.
I guess that people dont know, but the individual that says to be the Senator’s son was only Mr. Hugh Clarke a monitor at the Alexander Henderson School. Who can he and the senator fool? Then he appears at the senators morning show and identifies himself as Hugh Clarke. Dumm, Dumm
Please, Senator Russell is gone….his empty promises was proven to be just that, EMPTY with no substance. I truly wish the bar association would reprimand him for his insensitive behavior.
Springer, your organization was awesome this election….we love Crucians In Focus. Rock On.
Williams Delight Massive
Indigenous Virgin Islander, You kinda sound like your Roger Morgan himself? Anyway, it has nothing to do with an independent nation it has to do with taking care of your people. Election 2010 will show whether the Governor made the right choice to ignore the hardship his people endure. Around the community it sounds like he is toast.Getting back to your comments and in all honesty I am not related to Honorable Ronald Russell, but I am greatful for him and his service to the people of the V.I. Kevin Rames you shouldn’t talk you will sell your people out for the almighty dollar. I would wish you run for public office you would see how your people appreciate you? You can’t even light a candle to Russell your reputation among your people is in question. Do you live in a glass house? P.S. Wasn’t Roger Morgan who almost destroyed Mr. Pemberton on 1620 am radio station and accused him of attacking his wife? How we tend to forget about these things. Thank God Mr. P escape this situation without loosing his reputation. Now he wants to accuse our good Senator of trying to distroy him hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………….!
