My deepest condolences to the Callwood Family on the passing of your loveone,Edwin. From the time I knew him back in the early 80′s as “Lamumba”, he evolved to “Bushie” and finally to “Things Good.” Edwin was always a hardworking soldier in the cause for truth and justice. I can’t forget his gut-busting laugh, his brilliant mind and his charming ways. Edwin you remain true to the end…God knew why he took you home…and to that I say “Things Good”…RIP!

Friendship is an enigma….its a sensation…a bond.

Friendship is trust…..

Friendship is giving….

Neither complain nor compromise…

Its an understanding …..among friends…that stays…

Forever…

Rest in Heaven my love and my Friend.

Maybe This Is Why She Quit…

The abrupt resignation of Dr. Mercedes Dullum from her post as Commissioner of Health surprised some, and came as no shock to others. Her short tenure in the post has raised intense speculation as to what could have forced such a swift and emphatic departure.

Well we can't know for sure, but the recent audit of the Medicare program in the VI might have had something to do with it. To see what she was facing, and understand how the inability to fill out a form has cost the Territory hundreds of thousands of dollars, click here.

Grand Jury Investigation Focuses On Sen. Williams

The Grand Jury that has been impaneled in the Virgin Islands is focusing its investigation on Sen. Alvin Williams, reliable sources have confirmed to CIF.

Williams, a St. Thomas representative whose legislative office was raided at least once by federal authorities, is the Chairman of the Human Services, Parks and Recreation Committee and, prior to the office raid, was the target of public controversy surrounding allegations that he had used his office staff and resources to obtain an online college degree.

Speculation is rife about the depth of the investigation and the individuals who are being called to testify. Considering all that has transpired that we believe warrant investigation and action, we can only hope that those who are hearing testimony hand down indictments that may be the most effective method to begin to repair the tattered shreds of government in the Virgin Islands.

Christensen Campaign Fundraiser Under Federal Scrutiny

More than half of the contributions Delegate to Congress Donna Christensen has received in the current election cycle are linked to a Washington contractor who is the subject of a federal inquiry.

According to an article today in the Washington Post, Christensen has received at least $37,000 from contractor Jeffrey Thompson, who is suspected of using “straw” or phantom donors to evade contribution limits that are set for candidates running for office. His operations have drawn the attention of Federal authorities.

According to the article, Thompson’s accounting firm Thompson, Cobb, Brazilio and Associates, has 189 contracts with the federal government, worth $17.1 million. The company has done some business in the Virgin Islands, auditing grant funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Highway Administration. TCBA recently advertised for an accounting position based in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.

Recently, Christensen has urged the Federal Election Commission to investigate the election system of the Virgin Islands, citing public discontent with the way the Board of Elections in operating. Perhaps this current development will hasten their acceptance of her request.

Springer Responds To Audit Press Conference Cancellation In AM 970 Interview

Echoing the frustrations of the community, CIF President Michael J. Springer, Jr. said Friday in a radio interview that the procrastination by Sen.
