Once again, I am utterly flabbergasted at the intestinal fortitude of some mid ranked people who just happen to work (?)for the V.I. government. Do the people that approved these raises (at GERS) at this particularly terrible fiscal time in the history of the Virgin Islands, think that they can actually get away with this?!
I can't stand it and I live 3000+ miles away!
I tell friends of mine about some of the unusual practices that the VI government has had in the past, and no doubt will have in the future and they just don't believe me until I show them the news in The Source.
This situation though, has to be the most flagrant I've ever heard of. This sounds more like stuff that goes on in communist countries or dictatorships. And, it's being done right under the nose of Uncle Sam too.
Shame on us (U.S.) for supporting this garbage time after time.
After hearing that the inspector generals office gave this jolly group a big fat 0 for their efficiency and competency, how could this be justified?
I'm sorry……. I guess I'm just stunned.
