As the Chairperson for the Committee on Education, Youth and Culture, first-term Senator Janette Millin-Young has received more notoriety for her travel preferences than for any substantive actions to address the glaring issues in our educational system.
Thought of initially as one who would quietly follow, Millin-Young has shown recent faint glimmers of enlightenment, but our jury is still out on where she will fall as we enter a phase where all elected officials will be called upon to take a stand – on one side of the line or the other.
But for now, it’s your opinion we’re interested in. If the election was held today…
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.
If you'd like to help keep our voices on the air, please donate whatever you can using the PayPal button below. We thank you in advance for your support.
Be sure to click on the link below to see the latest iReport on our crippling corruption and scroll down to the comments. A wolverine posting under the name of "Bornyah" is trying to tell the world that the information that's getting some widespread attention is just "half-truth" from "disgruntled" people.
Nice try, Keep on reading and posting people. And send these links to everyone you know!
This past weekend, one of our CIF bloggers started a campaign to post the stories of our discontent on CNN iReports. If you scroll through the blogs from the past three days, you will see that this campaign has grown some very long legs in a very short time.

Senator Hill, i always voted for you but i guess this will be the last. Your style of politics is getting nasty just like you. A cell phone bill cannot be compared to the amount of money Sprauve requested; its not even close in figures. The entire senate body need to focus on the issues of the Virgin Islands and stop attacking each other personally.
Senator James, you will be dealt by us the electorate.
What is this? I mean seriously, who’s really going to take this anti-corruption rhetoric from Foncie anymore. And this check from nowhere really says nothing. What it really says is Springer and Donastorg are in bed with each other. What a sad couple that is.
How low can you all go?
Hector: Who is Springer? What do you mean by they in bed?
Hector: No need to reply i am not instigating this bullshit. This is ridiculous and too personal. No matter what anyone post; I will continue to be a big DONASTORG FAN. Courage Commitment & Integrity!
Much love from dey Big Island! We dey ya!
Springer is Michael Springer Jr., who ran for senator last year and was a bad loser in the Democratic primary. More importantly though, he has a hard-on for John DeJoke just like Foncie does. They fit each other like a glove where their politics are concerned. ‘In bed’ was used in a political sense. This is a political forum and I resepect it as such. I won’t get into the gutter style posts talking about personal matters that have no place on the internet like others on this site love to do.
Neville why you just don’t admit that your blogging under the name Hector.
Oh this is getting good. So Hector is really Neville James? Wow.
I guess the paranoia has reached the hilltop now. Now I’m Neville James. Sorry Chris, I speak for myself and myself only. I don’t make a living on the public side. never have and never will.
Is the good senator really Hector?
It has a 99.9 percent ring of truth to it. I must be slipping; how did I miss that one!
Now watch him try to cover his tracks.
Can we ever believe anything any of our senators tell us? All of them got us how they want.
Who doesnt know that Hector is the nasty majority leader Neville James? I just refer to him as Hector since he wants role play but when i get tired of playing I am gonna say Neville.
I agree with you. Nasty: Nasty Majority Leader; Nasty Hector; and Nasty Neville.

I’m a tidbit curious as to what the non-believers are gonna say when the can’t talk phony of a senator from the Rock is exposed for being nothing more than a sham who hasn’t done anything but played us Thomians for fools
FIRST OF ALL, HE IS SUCH A CRUCIAN PLAYING A TOMIAN. WE AS TOMIANS DONT SPELL IT AS “THOMIANS WITH AN H” NEXT, WE DONT SAY THE WORD ROCK EVERY SECOND. HMMM. NEVILLE LEARN THE WAY WE TALK BEFORE YOU GO IN DISGUISE.
Nasty Neville,
Why so Nasty. He ought to be thankful instead of ungrateful. Wasn’t it a few years ago, he was seen around the streets looking dam close to a bum? Wasting time in the morning at Dover’s Van, taking a lot a crap; and driving about in a raga.
We, THE VOTERS, lifted him out of his unproductive life. He should be thankful, not Nasty.
I only thing preventing a full throttled exposure is MY RESPECT OF THE GREAT DOC.
People do not forget.
I have to laugh you are a comic. I have not heard the word raga in years.
What Sen. James ever do for anyone but himself?
This Government is now all about protecting big business and special interest to our detriment. They fire the woman at Lottery because she expose the truth and they push out Donastorg for the same reason. You don’t have to love the man to see this clearly. Time and again he is the only one that has really spoken out for the people. When you ever see any other senator testify at a CZM hearing like Donastorg did earlier this year?
Crazy people referring to me as a Neville James tells me all I need to know about this site. This is Comedy Central VI style.
Hector we dont care who the hell you are, but I know that i am a “FONCIE FAN ALL DEY WAY”
