Conflicting Objectives: Energy Plans Fizzle
This is the tale of two energy entrepreneurs whose journey to free the Virgin Islands from the grip of fossil fuels has stalled at a guardhouse erected by the VI government bureaucracy.
The first tale was sent to us by Steffen Larsen, who has built his business, Mitchell-Larsen Studios, on a foundation of alternate energy principles. After increasing frustration with inaction from Government officials, and their apparent reluctance to resolve the conflicting objectives of energy efficiency and WAPA’s profitability, Mr. Larsen paid for and published a full page ad in the July 21st Virgin island Daily News.
The story chronicles repeated attempts to garner the attention of those who carry the public responsibility of moving these energy initiatives forward but fail repeatedly because, in his words, “whenever you are a politician, there is no good time to interfere with WAPA.”
The second story came to CIF after we posted a story questioning the apparent lack of execution around those projects that could, and should, be funded from the Stimulus Funds appropriated to the VI Department of Energy ($8 million) from President Obama’s American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). (see Where Oh Where Has The Stimulus Gone?)
Dr. Manny da Motta is a partner in Solar Solutions, LLC, a St. Croix based company that converts electric water heaters to operate on solar energy. His story is one that has become all too familiar – a promising and relevant local business venture being crippled by unkept promises and an outdated bureaucracy. His experience with the VI Energy Office should be troubling to anyone who understands the critical need to support local businesses, with local employees, who are trying to move these islands to a place of energy independence.
His plea to Governor John P. deJongh, Jr, has thus far gone unanswered, and reflects the growing frustration around this and many other issues affecting us now and in the future. He wrote, “Governor, you have an obligation to us as citizens. Where is this $8M that went to energy on July 6? What was it used for? Where are all these programs that were supposed to benefit from the ARRA money? WHY IS THERE NO INFORMATION?”
Why indeed?
(Note: The copy of Mr. Larsen’s ad, reprinted here with permission, contains a photograph of a group of WAPA employees who visited with him to see how alternate energy options were being used at his business. They did not contribute in any way to the text of the advertisement reprinted here. )
FAIR WORD OF CAUTION TO THE GOVERNOR AND 28TH LEGISLATURE CORRUPTED SENATORS
THIS COMMUNITY IS FULLY AWARE OF MEASURES BEFORE YOU THAT WERE FORWARDED BY GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR., THAT ARE “NOT” IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. IT IS THE “LEGISLATURE” RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE “TOTAL” TRANSPARENCY” AND NOT TO COOPERATE WITH OBSTRUCTIONS OF JUSTICE AND ABUSE OF PUBLIC FUNDS BY A CORRUPTED GOVERNOR. SENATORS SIGNING THEIR NAMES TO “ANY” MEASURES BEFORE THEM WILL BE HELD PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS IN “CRIMINAL” PROCEEDINGS. YOU ARE ONLY PROTECTED BY THE VI CODE FOR YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS LEGISLATORS IF YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED WITH VIOLATING “FEDERAL CRIMINAL CORRUPTIONS LAWS”.
THIS COMMUNITY IS ALSO AWARE OR WILL BE MADE FULLY AWARE OF WHY THE GOVERNOR VETOED THESE TWO BILLS: Bill 28-0026 (EDA), Bill No. 28-0049 (CMZ)
http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/index.pl/article_home?id=17639368
REGARDING THE GOVERNOR’S APPOINTMENTS AND “REMOVAL” OF BOARD MEMBERS CURRENTLY SERVING “UNEXPIRED” TERMS, MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY IS FULLY AWARE OF WHY THE GOVERNOR REMOVED A BOARD MEMBER FROM WMA WHOSE TERM HAD NOT EXPIRED. THIS INDIVIDUAL IS ALSO A POWERFUL “VIRGIN ISLANDS DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE” THAT OPENLY VOICED OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNOR’S QUESTIONABLE ACTIONS. THE VI CODE IS CLEAR ON THE REMOVAL OF BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. GOVERNOR, DO YOU PLAN TO “FIRE” THIS BOARD MEMBER FROM HIS GOVERNMENT POST WHEN HE RETURNS FROM THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE CONVENTION? WE ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THIS BOARD MEMBER “ABSTAINED” FROM VOTING ON YOUR ILLEGAL CONTRACT AWARD OF SHELL COMPANY ALPINE ENERGY GROUP, INC, WASTE TO ENERGY AWARD CONTRACT.
SEE BLOG 73 ABOVE, THE WORLD WAS ALREADY WARNED THAT GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR. WAS GETTING READY TO RETALIATE AND NOW THERE IS EVIDENCE TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS “EARLY WARNING”.
http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/index.pl/article_home?id=17639362
SENATE PRESIDENT, YOU “WILL” GO TO JAIL WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE. YOU HAVE “PERSONALLY” VIOLATED THE VI CODE WITH REGARDS TO PASSING LEGISLATION AND THEN RECEIVING FINANCIAL GAINS FROM YOUR EFFORTS. YOUR NAME “HILL” IS WRITTEN ALL OVER FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND YOU CAN NOT IN “NO WAY” DENY OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE WHICH IS ON FILE. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING MENTIONED RIGHT NOW.
THE MONIES THAT CONTINUE TO BE EMBEZZLED FROM THAT “AUTHORITY” BY ITS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAD BETTER BE RETURN TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS TREASURY WITHOUT DELAY OR FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY TO PICKED UP ON THIS MONEY TRAIL, WILL BE PUT ON THE RIGHT TRACK. GOVERNOR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RETURN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY MONIES BACK INTO THE TREASURY! THE GOVERNOR WAS ALREADY WARNED BY A WHISTLE BLOWER WITHIN THE OFFICE OF THIS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THAT FINANCIAL “MAL TRANSACTIONS” WERE TAKING PLACE. THIS HISPANIC LADY ALSO WENT PUBLIC LAST YEAR BUT WAS SILENCE.
IT IS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL TO SPARE NO MEANS IN EXPOSING YOU CORRUPTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS. THIS COMMUNITY “MUST STAND FIRM” AND TAKE BACK ITS COMMUNITY FROM CORRUPTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN 2010 AND CONTINUE TO REPORT CORRUPTIONS TO “FEDERAL” AUTHORITIES AS INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
THANK YOU CIF FOR YOUR HELP IN EXPOSING THESE TYRANTS TO THE WORLD.
STAY TUNE…MORE TO COME!
Waste to Energy Thieves and Senate Bandits,
Your plans to spend more public funds on a Virgin Islands Government (WMA / WAPA) sponsored Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association’s Conference in October is an outrage!
How can Governor de Jongh send legislation to the Senate and say that the Virgin Islands is in financial distress as a result of international financial crisis and spend public funds on a conference that does not “benefit” the “people” of the Virgin Islands? Public schools throughout the territory remains in disrepair, WAPA continue to be run inefficiently; WMA continues to be a failure in its obligation to the community and remains in violation of EPA mandates as the St. Croix Environment Association pointed out in its pending lawsuit. WMA is currently violating EPA “wastewater” mandates is permitted by Governor de Jongh to cosponsor a “Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association’s Conference”. This governor plans to embarrass the Virgin Islands community before the World.
The real intent of this Governor de Jongh sponsored conference in October is to showcase his contract award of Alpine Energy Group, Inc., Virgin Islands Waste to Energy “pet coke” plants. Again, the governor continues to misuse public funds through WAPA / WMA. Corrupted senators of the 28th Legislature aids this governor by approving more appropriations and spending while trying to justify their actions by saying the Virgin Islands community is in a financial crisis so I must go along with corruption.
If the Virgin Islands are really in a financial crisis then the Virgin Islands government should not be sponsoring any conferences. It is the Virgin Islands community that will pay through taxes the hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be spent to entertain and feed attendees at the Frenchman’s Reef Resort. The official government house “Catherineburg” that this governor feel is not good enough for him to live in will also be used to entertain attendees of this conference. The community will also pay the cost of events held at this public government house through taxes.
This is an outrage and must be stopped.
The world is watching!

THE SENATE HAS ALSO JUST OVERRIDDEN THESE BILLS VETOED BY GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR.
Bill 28-0069, which would have required motor vehicle owners to provide a valid registration to a shipping carrier before the vehicle is transported between the different islands in the territory.
Bill No. 28-0049, which would have altered the Coastal Zone Management Act to require a full hearing before the Legislature for all CZM permits and leases also was vetoed.

WHY DID GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR. AUTHORIZED WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MAY ADAM CORNWALL TO HOST A CWWA CONFERENCE IN ST. THOMAS FROM OCTOBER 4-10 OCTOBER 2009?
THE CARIBBEAN WATER AND WASTEWATER ASSOCIATION (CWWA) IS A “NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION” THAT WAS REGISTERED BY AN ACT OF PARLIAMENT (NO. 8 OF 1991) IN THE REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO.
MAY ADAM CORNWALL IS NOW THE CHAIRMAN OF THIS “NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION” AND IS PLANNING TO SPEND UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS PUBLIC FUNDS TO THE RANGE OF ALMOST ONE MILLION DOLLARS COURTESY OF GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR.
THE 28TH VIRGIN ISLANDS LEGISLATURE IS CURRENTLY IN SESSION PASSING SPENDING BILLS PRESENTED BY GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR., TO INCLUDE MONIES FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY. THE GOVERNOR CONTINUES TO JUSTIFY “NON-ESSENTIAL” SPENDING BY USING THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AS AN EXCUSE DURING THESE DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES. IT IS THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS THAT WILL PAY THROUGH TAXES FOR ALL OF THE NON-ESSENTIAL MONIES THAT ARE BEING APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE AS YOU READ THIS BLOG.
WHAT BENEFITS ARE THERE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS IN ALLOWING PUBLIC FUNDS TO BE DISBURSED TO FUND A “NON-GOVERNMENTAL ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE”? THE UNITED STATE IS IN A RECESSION AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THIS ASSOCIATION IS FOCUS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS “MEMBERS”.
THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THE PEOPLE ARE HELPLESS AGAINST A VERY CORRUPT GOVERNMENT THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL.
http://www.cwwa.net/executive2008_2009.htm
MORE EVIDENCE THAT GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR., ALPINE ENERGY GROUP, INC., CONSPIRATORS ARE INVOLVED WITH THE HOSTING OF A “NON-GOVERNMENTAL” CONFERENCE USING VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT PUBLIC FUNDS.
THE GOVERNOR AND WAPA/WMA EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ARE TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL AND OUT OF PLACE. THEY APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH A “SHELL COMPANY” NOW THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SPENDING PUBLIC FUNDS TO HOST A “NON-GOVERNMENTAL” ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE AT THE FRENCHMAN’S REEF IN ST. THOMAS.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS BEING IN HARD ECONOMIC TIMES. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE SENATORS IN THE 28TH LEGISLATURE MADE A FATAL MISTAKE IN TRUSTING THE GOVERNOR AND HIS BANDITS TO SPEND THE PEOPLE MONIES WISELY.
SHAME ON THE SENATE FOR GRANTING LUMP SUMS TO RESTORE CORRUPTION.

MESSAGE TO GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR.
“Indeed, it will take no less than the united strength of us all to balance the scales between those who disregard public health and our environment and those who will not stand by and accept that threat. Our environment sustains our economy and our health and well being. We must pay it back and pay it forward for our future families.” May Adam Cornwall (Well known hypocrite and tyrant)
PUBLIC INFORMATION WILL PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER THAT THE SOURCE AND OTHER VIRGIN ISLANDS “SO CALL” MAIN STREAM MEDIA ORGANIZATION HAVE ON THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY. THESE DISINGENUOUS MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DELIBERATELY UNDER REPORTED, SELECTIVELY REPORTED, OR NOT REPORTED AT ALL ON ISSUES DIRECTLY RELATED TO GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR.
THE SOURCE HAS JUST PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE 18TH ANNUAL CARIBBEAN WATER AND WASTEWATER (CWWA) CONFERENCE. OVER A WEEK AGO, SPECIFICALLY ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2009, A SERIES OF “EARLY WARNING” SMOKING GUN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS WERE RELEASED ON CIF REGARDING THE 18TH ANNUAL CWWA CONFERENCE. THE EARLY WARNING REPORTS PROVIDED EVIDENCE OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND THE MISUSE OF VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND FUNDS DURING THIS PERIOD OF ECONOMIC CRISIS. THE VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM (GERS) IS AT THE POINT OF COLLAPSE AND THE GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS HAS APPROVED SPENDING VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT FUNDS ON A “FOR PROFIT” FOREIGN REGISTERED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ASSOCIATION.
SEE ABOVE CIF “CONFLICTING OBJECTIVES – ENERGY PLAN FIZZLE BLOGS 112, 113, 114” AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH WAS BLOGS 58, 64,”
http://cruciansinfocus.com/2009/09/14/put-your-money-where-your-mouth-was/#comments
NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THE ST. CROIX SOURCE ARTICLE ON THE 18TH ANNUAL CWWA CONFERENCE. THE SOURCE CLEARLY SPINS THIS ORGANIZATION AS AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION. THE SOURCE MAKES NO REFERENCE THAT THE CWWA IS A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES ITS “MEMBERS”. THE SOURCE DOES NOT MENTION THAT THIS ORGANIZATION IS LED BY MAY ADAM CORNWALL WHO IS A VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE. THE GOVERNOR IS CLEARLY PROMOTING CORRUPTION AND VIOLATION OF VI CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAWS BY SPENDING VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT FUNDS ON MAY ADAM CORNWALL ASSOCIATION.
THE SOURCE ARTICLE ALSO LIST TWO VIRGIN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WMA STELLA SAUNDERS AND WAPA CASSANDRA DUNN AS SPOKESWOMEN FOR THIS “FOR PROFIT” NON GOVERNMENTAL ASSOCIATION. THE MOST ALARMING DELIBERATE OMISSION IS THE SOURCE “NOT” MENTIONING THAT THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR IS A MAJOR SPONSOR OF THIS CWWA CONFERENCE. IF THE GOVERNOR WAS CONVINCED THAT HE WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG BY SPONSORING THIS CONFERENCE HE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE SOURCE TO PUBLISH AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIS OFFICE AS A MAJOR SPONSOR. THE SOURCE ONLY REFERENCE THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE AS HOSTING A HIGH-LEVEL “SESSION”.
“The WMA, the V.I. Water and Power Authority, the University of the Virgin Islands and the Department of Tourism are among the conference’s major sponsors.”
THIS GOVERNOR IS SO CORRUPTED THAT HE HAS ONCE AGAIN USED PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS TO COVER HIS TRACKS. DURING THE SMOKING GUN INVESTIGATIONS OF SEPTEMBER 17, 2009, THERE WERE NO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SCHEDULED TO ATTEND THIS PRIVATE ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE AT THE FRENCHMAN REEF. AFTER THE SMOKING GUN EARLY WARNING REPORTS WERE RELEASED ON CIF THIS ITEM WAS ADDED TO THE CONFERENCE. IT DOES NOT EVEN GIVE A SPECIFIC DAY FOR THIS EVENT:
“On one day, local high school students will come into the conference, participate in a panel discussion with some of the recognized experts in the field, meet with professionals and learn a bit about career opportunities in water and wastewater management, Dunn said.”
NOTE: THE CWWA IS A “FOR PROFIT” NON-GOVERNMENTAL PRIVATE ASSOCIATION. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS IS SPENDING BADLY NEEDED GOVERNMENT FUNDS TO PAY FOR THIS CWWA CONFERENCE. ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE ARTICLE, ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND AT A RATE OF $250.00 PER PERSON. THIS SOURCE ARTICLE TOTALLY MISLEADS THE COMMUNITY ON THE CWWA AND DOES NOT TELL THE TRUE STORY OF THE GOVERNOR’S INVOLVEMENT IN THIS DE JONGH ADMINISTRATION SPONSORED CONFERENCE. THE SOURCE ARTICLE CLEARLY DOES NOT TELL THE COMMUNITY THAT “GOVERNMENT FUNDS” ARE BEING SPENT ON THIS CWWA CONFERENCE. THE SOURCE HAS PROVEN IT SELF TO BE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS SUPPRESSION OF FACTUAL INFORMATION.
http://stcroixsource.com/content/news/local-news/2009/09/25/major-water-conference-coming-territory
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS NOT PUBLISHED IN THE ST. CROIX SOURCE ARTICLE.
“The board also approved a $169,800 Frenchman’s Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort Group Sales contract for the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association’s October 2009 Conference and Exhibition to be co-hosted by the Waste Management Authority and the Water and Power Authority along with the University of the Virgin Islands and the Governor’s Office and the Tourism Department.”

THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY AND WORLD WAS WARNED FROM SEPTEMBER 17, 2009, THAT THIS CONFERENCE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR. TO SHOW CASE HIS ALPINE ENERGY GROUP WASTE TO ENERGY CONTRACT. THE SMOKING GUN EARLY WARNING REPORTS CLEARLY REFERENCE THE GOVERNOR REWARDING MAY ADAM CORNWALL FOR HER ASSISTANCE IN HELPING HIM AWARD “SHELL” COMPANY ALPINE ENERGY GROUP THE VIRGIN ISLANDS WASTE TO ENERGY CONTRACT.

THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE OF THE “ENTIRE” VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY BY GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR. WHEN YOU THOUGHT THINGS COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE. NOW THE VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY MUST STEER AT THIS BLATANT INSULT AND MISUSE OF “GOVERNMENT FUNDS”. MAY ADAM CORNWALL AND HER CWWA IS CHARGING PRIVATE SPONSORS UP TO $20,000 TO PARTICIPATE IN ITS 18TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
IF THERE WERE EVER A TIME OR OCCASION FOR LOCAL/FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SENIOR AUTHORITIES TO IMMEDIATELY STEP IN AND ONCE AND FOR ALL PUT THIS GOVERNOR BEHIND BARS, IT’S NOW!
HOW MUCH MORE MUST A COMMUNITY ENDURE BEFORE AMERICA BRINGS THIS TYRANT OF A GOVERNOR TO JUSTICE. VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY, YOU WERE WARNED OF THESE EVENTS RIGHT HERE ON CIF AND NOW YOUR SEEING THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE PLAYED OUT RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES.
CHIEF JUSTICE CURTIS GOMEZ, PLEASE DO WHAT EVER YOU CAN WITH THE LEGAL POWER VESTED IN YOU TO STOP THIS MADNESS. YOU TOO LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY AND YOU’RE ALSO A VIRGIN ISLANDER. THIS RAPING OF THE TERRITORY MUST HAVE AN EFFECT ON YOUR MORAL CHARACTER AS WELL.
GOVERNOR JOHN P. DE JONGH, JR. MUST HAVE GONE TOTALLY MAD TO BE SO BOLD AND INSULT THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS IN THIS MANNER AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN $443,000 OF “PUBLIC FUNDS” ON HIS PRIVATE ESTATE.

CIF, VIRGIN ISLANDS COMMUNITY, FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AND WORLD. STAND BY FOR THE NEXT SMOKING GUN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT TO BE RELEASE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS ON CIF.
IN DECEMBER 2008, MAY ADAMS CORNWALL PUBLICLY ADMITTED IN A NEWS ARTICLE THAT SHE WAS VIOLATING PUNISHABLE VI CODES, USURPING HER BOARD’S AUTHORITY, AND MADE THIS COMMENT ABOUT THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IN WHICH SHE LEADS “IT IS THE MOST INEFFICIENT ORGANIZATION THAT EXIST RIGHT NOW IN THIS GOVERNMENT.”
ALSO UNDER CORNWALL’S LEADERSHIP, THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IS CURRENTLY BEING SUED BY THE ST. CROIX ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS FOR VIOLATING THE INTENTION OF AN AGREEMENT THAT SAY THE WMA WILL STOP DISCHARGES OF TREATED WATER WITHIN THREE YEARS OF RENEWAL OF ITS TERRITORIAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM PERMIT. (SEE SMOKING GUN CORNWALL “EARLY WARNING” BLOG 42 ABOVE)
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS MAY ADAM CORNWALL HAS BEEN OPERATING A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE RIGHT OUT OF HER EXECUTIVE OFFICE ON ST. CROIX VIRGIN ISLANDS. CORNWALL’S CRIME RING WILL MAKE THE SCHNEIDER REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER EXECUTIVES CORRUPTION SCANDAL LOOK LIKE A CUB SCOUTS DAY ON THE BEACH AFTER IT IS PROPERLY AUDITED AND INVESTIGATED BY FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS. INCLUDED IN CORNWALL’S WMA CRIME RING IS CFO DEANDRE ATWELL AND LEGAL COUNSEL IVER STRIDIRON. THESE TWO WMA EXECUTIVES HAS BEEN FULLY AWARE AND PERSONALLY INVOLVE WITH ILLEGAL FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES WITHIN MAY ADAMS CORNWALL EXECUTIVE STAFF. CHECK THE RECORDS AND LOOK AT THE SIGNATURES ON DOCUMENTS THAT ILLEGALLY DISBURSED MONEY AHEAD OF APPROPRIATIONS AND WITHOUT WMA BOARD APPROVAL. (SEE ABOVE VI CODES IN BLOGS 108, 110, 111, 117)
IN 2008 SEVERAL EMPLOYEES FROM THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY WENT PUBLIC ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND BLEW THE WHISTLE ON MAY ADAMS CORNWALL CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES. A HISPANIC EMPLOYEE THAT WORKS DIRECTLY IN CORNWALL’S FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING OFFICE MADE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ON A SPANISH BROADCASTING RADIO STATION THAT CORNWALL WAS MAKING ILLEGAL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT AUTHORITY OF LAW OR BOARD APPROVAL.
ON DECEMBER 6, 2008, THE VIRGIN ISLANDS DAILY NEWS PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE (CHANGE ORDERS CAUSE CONFLICT AT WASTE MANAGEMENT MEETING) AFTER ITS REPORTER ALDETH LEWIN SAT IN ON A WMA BOARD MEETING AND WITNESS THE EXCHANGE OF STRONG OPPOSITIONS AGAINST MAY ADAMS CORNWALL FOR VIOLATING PUNISHABLE VI CODES AND WMA BOARD AUTHORITY.
