  1. Idle hands….People are talking about the price of electricity going down because of propane. Yes, I believe this will help get some new businesses started here BUT without good jobs, these kinds of robberies are going to increase. Unemployment benefits are running out and many people just do not have the $10k to relocate to the US to look for work. The governor, delegate, senators, administrators, commissioners, etc…should focus their every last effort to produce jobs here or Crime will be the game-changer.

  2. True enough. Very sad. Also, sad to see billions wasted over seas when some of it could be well spent in the VI during these trying times.

  3. With FLOOD of illegal immigrants being allowed across our mainland borders, way can’t Obama help our “legal citizens” relocate and become productive. It seems if it’s not a demographic that will help in elections the there is no regard. For the amount of money spent on housing and supporting this group, we could afford our youth relocation and education stateside to help them become productive in society…….

  4. Exactly. The Government has blown over a HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS trying to “develop” Afghanistan over the past decade – and that does not include the trillions spent on the war. One would think that the money blown over seas would and should be better spent in the VI. Electricity. Schools. Youth development. Roads and infrastructure. Fighting crime. But no, it is pixxed away on a people who hate us. Does that make sense? No it doesn’t.
