		<description>Ena and Concerned, thanks for reviving this site.  I started logging into CIF in June and never read the WE WERE WARNED section before. 

Abuse on top of abuse! Ena, your description of NJ as a little mongrel could well be used to describe us, the voters and citizens of the VI.  We yap and yap but are easily satisfied when we are thrown a bone.  We warn our leaders to &quot;wait til election 2010&quot; and &quot;you won&#039;t get my vote&quot; as if our individual threat will have any effect.  When election comes, we settle for what seems to be &quot;the lesser of two evils&quot;. 

When are we going to collectively discipline our elected leaders and show them that theft and curruption will not be tolorated????</description>

		<description>Investigation? What investigation? This is the Justice Department going on a fishing trip at the Lottery. That energy should be spent trying to get the millions from the Video Lottery company (Southland Gaming). Anyway, let&#039;s see what happens because the New Director looks like he&#039;s serious about getting matters straight with Southland and the Government&#039;s money. He had two poor performances before the Senate but he put some statements on the record that sound like serious business to me. Ordering a forensics audit (whatever that means) of the old system and the new, purchasing a new Control System for the Lottery seem like good moves in the right direction. The question is if and when it will happen because Senator Dowe is eying the Lottery money and does not want a dime spent on any independent control system. You think he might be getting some of Southland&#039;s money on the sly too? 

You don&#039;t know who to trust these days because a document is in circulation showing that the host of the new show on WSTA &quot;Pass It On&quot; and long time host of &quot;Your Views And Mine&quot; (Roosevelt David) now has a contract with Southland to put Video Lottery in St. Kitts. &quot;Buyer Beware.&quot; Everybody&#039;s trying to get a piece of the action even at the expense of the Virgin Islands. I wonder which other Senator&#039;s name is on the list?  By the way, don&#039;t bother with Neville James. Even with his famous family name &quot;James&quot; he has no pedigree. He makes the most noise on the senate floor opposing the Governor but votes yes on everything he sends down. He is like a little mongrel, his bark is worse than his bite. Throw him a bone and he quickly shuts up and wags his tail. I think he too has Video Lottery on his mind. St. Croix watch out. Southland and Turo Watlington already made their rounds to all your senators. What&#039;s next? Anything is possible with a band of &quot;sellouts.&quot;</description>

		<description>The V.I. Lottery is still at it. Yesterday, this semi-autonomous agency continued to harass employees by fooling them in to taking a ride to the &quot;country&quot; that led them to the Attorney Generals office for questioning surrounding the game, &quot;A Little Extra.&quot; Who&#039;s next? Thus far, at least 6 employees have been legally compelled to answer questions, without the presence of legal representation concerning allegations of...well, we don&#039;t know. Where are we, Russia or South Africa. While government sactioned piracy seems to be the norm here in America&#039;s Paradise, it seems this investigation is led by bumbling fools. It begs the question: are the evils spawned by this investigation greater that those they seek to eradicate. We&#039;ll have the answer by election time I can assure you.</description>

		<description>Government house has a lot of nerve to put out the announcement on Conrad &quot;Ricky&quot; Francois saying he has expertise. Francois resume must read, &quot;He ran the VI Housing Authority into the hands of the FEDS and then went without working for 5 years until deWolf gave him a job 9 months ago.&quot;</description>

		<description>Thank you Senator O&#039;Rielly for having the courage to speak out against what is wrong. All Senators should be speaking out against this retaliation de Wolf have taken against this director for speaking the &quot;TRUTH&quot; in the senate. Should she lose her job. de Wolf must really want no one to be watching our 22 million dollars if he put a drunk in charge of the money.</description>

		<description>There was a senate hearing today and this business about the $22 million owed to the Government by Southland Gaming came up.  It appears like everyone wants to do some kind of dance around this topic.  The only person who seemed to be willing to call it straight was the acting director, Ms. Shomo.  And she stated that she feared for her job.  This is amazing! Are we really going to sit back and let these people rip off the Virgin Islands?  Shame on all our leaders who are afraid to step up.  I, for one, will not cast a vote for any one of them!</description>

		<description>&quot;Holy Smoke&quot; You&#039;re right on target.  I guess we must suffer before we realize that what Elmo D. Roebuck said back then was true.  He knew the character of the beast.</description>
