He and a majority of his fellow senators did it in broad daylight, right in front of our faces: They voted against a FULL AUDIT of the Legislature. They do not have any fear of consequences: it is we from where they came; it is we who voted for them; and it is us whom they reflect. Our government’s services and operation(s) may be third-rate, but our community’s tolerance for corruption is first-rate. Our local government is so festering with widespread corruption that the only solution seems to be a complete federal takeover. You have to give it to the Senate President, Honorable Senator Hill.

Lord send help. It certainly appears we don't want the truth from our officials. We just want to be told "everything is going to be fine". Even when we know their lying. Take another sip of denial juice because we accept the lies as the way our gov't does business. While the blantant corruption is so sweetly called Virgin Islands Politics. Oh well The government is out of control and self regulating like the banking industry. Lord send help.

The second problem, and equally as scary, is the media not reporting about it. Who is controlling the media?

Why have our newspapers ignored this story? It's not even on the Source. Very interesting also that Louis Patrick Hill stated in his press conference that he supported such an audit and then votes AGAINST it. Me thinks he speaks with FORKED TONGUE!
