We Don’t Believe It
We just don’t believe it.
We listened to that disgrace of a Legislative session on Thursday, heard all the trumped up reasons for ousting Senate President Adlah “Foncie” Donastorg and despite all the dramatics, we just don’t believe it.
Suddenly the responsibility for the dismal performance of the 28th Legislature falls on the shoulders of one man. They held him responsible for the lack of bills on the agenda – bills that have not yet been drafted. When he asked why there were no more agenda items, he was subjected to a barrage of profanity and abuse – but no answers.
We just don’t believe any of this is the reason this action was taken.
Suddenly, he’s not a “team player.” Suddenly, he is the reason that no progress has been made at a time when a devastated economy, rising crime rate and crumbling infrastructure should be at the forefront of everything this Legislature considers.
We believe it has everything to do with Donastorg’s advocacy of the transparency that the VI Legislature continues to resist.
We believe it has to do with the now ex-President’s call for the repeal of Act 6905 and the impact that action would have on the salaries of the Legislature and other government officials.
We believe that it has to do with his call for a full audit of the Legislature, which would open the books to the constituency that body is elected to serve.
We believe that it has to do with his selection of a non-majority member to attend a conference in the States instead of a member of the then majority group – yes, even something that insignificant – we believe has an impact on this shameful action.
Whatever it is, Virgin Islanders, take note. Take note that the one who wanted to bring the truth into the light has been pushed into the darkness.
Take note and take heed. “Change” has not come to the Virgin Islands.

Truth is coming back to haunt us. “Sen. Hill insulted the voters of St. Croix and made it clear he was not apologizing for his vote for Act 6905.”
see number 15, 33, 35,36, 37, 38, 39,40
all that time when these conversations were taking place sen hill was already the # 1 crook in the senate. I guess that’s why he got the big promotion to the president bandit.
what a hypocrite!
Quick question,
Do any of you know how LONG foncie has been after the decrease of the senator’s salaries? This repeal of Act6905 is nothing new. Don’t make it seem like this hasnt been an agenda from long. How long has he been requesting that the size of the legislature decrease? I’m not pro-foncie but you people are starting to sound ignorant, or you could just be press-jockeys for the governor. I’m sorry, but he is NOT getting re-elected.
I think you Observant for true. We need to do our part and mail links to this website to everyone we know because the real news is not getting out in the mainstream media.
