THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD EVENING TO YOU THE IMMUNE PUBLIC AS WELL THOSE WHO ARE SEATED HERE.

I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE TONIGHT TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES.

WE CAME TO YOU AND ASKED YOU FOR YOUR VOTE.

AND WAS A LONG DREAM OF MINE.

IT´S IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND DEGREE IN NONPROFITS ALL IN PREPARATION FOR THE SPECIAL MOMENTS OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF WINS AND A LOT OF BAD TIMES.

TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE HUNDRED ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WITH YOUR HELP SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS FOR US TO TACKLE TOGETHER WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR SUPPORT.

IF YOU HAVEN´T DONE SO ALREADY, YOUR GOVERNOR AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING.

RESIDENCE LOVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.

THE TEAM ENVISIONING -- THEY HAVE ACCESS AND ARE EXCELLENT AND ENCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO TURN BACK TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

>> WE ENVISION THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE PEOPLE ON THE VIRGIN ISLANDS ARE ABLE TO HAVE AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY THAT IS RELIABLE.

WE ASK THAT YOU GO AND VOTE.

FOUR YEARS AGO THE GOVERNOR SAID THE CHANGES COMING.

MAKE A DETERMINATION., >> THANK YOU.

>> FIRST QUESTION.

>> IT´S THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN.

COMING UP FOR HURRICANE IRMA AND MARIA.

THEY ARE IN BAD SHAPE.

THE SITUATION BUT IT´S ESPECIALLY ACUTE WITH THE ISLANDS TEMPORARY HALF AT ALL.

SUPERSEDING JULY 2018 ALSO THE END OF 2019.

IT HAS YET TO OPEN.

HOW CAN WE TRUST YOU WITH THE REVEAL OF THE NEW HOSPITAL?

>> I THINK THAT´S A FAIR QUESTION.

DURING THE LAST FOUR YEARS WE INHERITED A HEALTH CARE CENTER THAT WAS INDEED IN SHAMBLES.

WE NEEDED THOSE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

ACROSS MULTIPLE URGENT CARE CENTERS TO SUPPLEMENT THE HOSPITAL.

OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WE RAN INTO A LOT OF PROBLEMS BECAUSE WE HAVE A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY PROVISIONS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN IT.

THEY HAD NEVER BUILT A HOSPITAL.

WE LEARNED THAT IF WE DID, THE WHOLE HOSPITAL --WE BURNED THE CAUTION.

WE HAVE ALREADY FAST TRACKED.

PUTTING IN PLACE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS NEEDED TO DO THAT.

WE ALSO INHERITED A POSITION BY THE ADMINISTRATION TO REPLACE BOTH OF THE HOSPITALS.

WE HAVE TO BATTLE IN ORDER TO GET THE MONEY.

WE STILL HAVE NOT SETTLED ON A FINAL DOLLAR FIGURE.

OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WE BROUGHT BACK ALL OF OUR DIALYSIS PATIENCE.

WE INVESTED OVER $100 MILLION RATE.

WE CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CITIZENS.

THE HOSPITAL WILL OPEN AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHIFT OVER TO THAT BUT IN THE MEANTIME WE NEED THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL ALWAYS BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE TO BRING PEOPLE OUT.

WE ARE BRINGING TELEMEDICINE AND TELEHEALTH AND IT´S NOW ACCEPTABLE THROUGH THE INTERNET AND THROUGH THE EQUIPMENT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE WITH OUR HEALTH CARE PLAN IN PLACE.

>> THAT WAS COMPLETED WHEN THE GOVERNOR TOOK OFFICE.

THE LANGUAGE IN THE TERRITORIAL BOARD FOR OVER A YEAR BEING ABLE TO EXECUTE THAT CONTRACT FOR THE HOSPITAL.

THE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN FURNISHED IT´S CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF MAINTAINABILITY.

ONE YEAR AGO WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE GOVERNOR COMING FROM THE LEGISLATURE TO EXIT OUT AND I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNOR STUDIES GOING TO ALTERED.

EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SERVICES PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY.

>> IT IS A FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECT.

BUT 2 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS THAT HE TOOK FROM THE HOSPITAL AND PUT IT INTO THE PALACE OF A LEGISLATURE WE CANNOT OVERLOOK HE ALSO VANQUISHED THE TOWN WERE NOW NO LOCAL BUSINESSES CAN LAUNCH BECAUSE OF THAT MOVE.

AND HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT INTRICACIES EVEN WHEN WE FINISHED THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION AT THE END OF THE MONTH WE STILL HAVE TO CERTIFY THAT.

>> THE MANAGERIAL ISSUES COMING UP NORTH ON THE ADMINISTRATION.

THE FOLKS ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SUDDEN ITEMS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PROCURED DURING THAT FIRST ONE WAS A SEVEN MONTH DELAY THAT´S A MANAGERIAL ISSUE.

IT´S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO.

>> I UP DATED THAT I WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO IT.

IT´S A REIMBURSABLE AGENCY.

IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO BILL A $10 MILLION FOR $20 MILLION WE WOULD´VE GONE AHEAD AND DONE THAT.

OUR ENTIRE RECOVERY IS DELAYED.

WE CAN START ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS NOW AND IN SPITE OF THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN DELAYED BUT NO ONE AT THE HOSPITAL -- >> THANK YOU.

>> YOU WANT TO WHAT?

GO AHEAD.

>> READY?

>> WE DID HAVE CASH.

WE HAD $40 MILLION.

IT´S AN ISSUE OF PRIORITY.

COMING FROM ONE YEAR AND 10 MONTHS.

THERE IS NO WAY.

YOU DON´T PAY ATTENTION TO THE WATER.

TO BE THE CONTRACT THAT WE EXECUTED WITH THE COMPANY THAT IS COMPLETING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BEFORE TO GET IT OPEN.

>> GOVERNOR BRIAN HAS ACCUSED YOU OF THE LEGISLATION.

WANTING TO GET THAT RECREATION.

THE CRIMINAL OFFENSES AND QUANTITIES OF IT.

GETTING THE CONTENT IN YOUR INSTRUCTION HAS THE PROGRESS.

COMING UP ON DECEMBER 30th.

THEY´RE GOING TO PASS THE BILL AND COME OFF WITH IT.

AND WAS CAUGHT AND IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETE.

THE RECREATION WILL BE INTRODUCED BEFORE THE END OF 2021.

BY THE END OF THE PROMISE YOU HE´S NOT YET ON THE FLOOR.

CRITICIZED THE ADMINISTRATION.

IT´S THE FULL PACE OF GETTING THINGS DONE.

A DEAL THAT IS PROJECTED TO BRING REVENUE IN THAT TERRITORY.

WHY TRUST YOU TO DELIVER THAT THAT YOU WOULD GET THINGS DONE -- >> FIRST OF ALL --SECOND RESPONSE --THERE IS INCLUSION IN THE BILL THAT SHE DRAFTED.

THE BILL THAT WAS SENT DOWN BY THE GOVERNOR.

AND WAS IN FACT ILLEGAL.

IT WAS COMING AND DOES LEGISLATURE BECAUSE OF THE MERGER FROM THE BOARD.

IF THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THE BILL 10 MONTHS AFTER --WE DON´T HAVE ANY DISPENSARIES OPEN.

THE GOVERNOR HAS DISMISSED IT.

IT DOESN´T MAKE MONEY BUT THE REASON WHY WE HAVE THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS -- COMING UP AND ABLE TO GENERATE MONEY.

COMING UP FROM DENVER COLORADO.

IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO YEARS TO NOT PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER FOR LEGALIZATION.

THEY PASS MONEY.

$500,000.

THEY ARE GOING TO PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

THIS WEEK.

IT´S THE 42 PAGES THEY SENT DOWN.

THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE BASES ARE COVERED.

THE LEGALIZATION BILL IS NEVER RUSHED.

COLORADO MADE TWO OTHER CHANGES AND IT´S NOT DRESSED.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS CROSSED.

IT´S GOING TO DEFINITELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE.

>> AND SENATOR TELL THE PEOPLE.

SOMETIME YOU GOT THE OPPOSITE.

IT WAS TO MAKE SURE YOU DETER, OBSTRUCT AND PROVIDE WITH ANYTHING OF THE ADMINISTRATION SENT DOWN.

>> WE KNOW WHY.

THERE NEVER WAS A BELL AND THERE IS NO BILL NOW.

IS THE SENATOR WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR THE BILL ANYWAY TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE LEGALIZATION FOR ADULT USE RECREATION.

JUST LIKE HE STEPPED IN THE WAY OF THE CORPORATION 15 YEARS IN ORDER TO GET THAT DONE.

JUST LIKE HE STEPPED IN FRONT OF THE RETIREMENT BILL.

THREE TIMES.

YOUR AMBITION HAS ALWAYS TAKEN PLACE FIRST OVER THE NEED OF THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

ITS ACCORDING TO TO SECURE YOUR GOVERNMENT OUTREACH.

YOU WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

>> I TOLD EVERYBODY AM GOING TO VOTE NO FOR THE LEGALIZATION.

MY COLLEAGUE IS A SUPPORTER OF THAT BILL.

I DIFFER BECAUSE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS HAVE ISSUES.

WE CAN SELL IT TO HIM IN THE MORNING.

WE CAN SET IT UP TONIGHT IF YOU WANT.

>> WE NO.

THAT´S WHY WE INTRODUCED BILLS TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE WHO DON´T HAVE MONEY DON´T HAVE TO BUILT CONVENTION CENTERS.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE CAN BUILD DISTILLERIES IN THE MIDDLE OF NEIGHBORHOODS.

THAT´S ALSO THE LEGISLATION TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE DONE AND THEY DID IT IN SUCH A RECORD WAY --THEY HAVE THE ENTIRE BUILD TO BRING THAT UP.

WE KNOW HE GETS SPECIAL TREATMENT.

GETTING A MILE OF PIPELINE FOR OIL.

IT´S EVEN A DISCUSSION.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I THINK THAT´S IT.

>> THAT´S HOW IT IS.

OUR ECONOMY --IT´S BECAUSE OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS COMING UP WITH MARIA.

COMING UP WITH THE PANDEMIC.

IT´S ON THE PRESSURE FROM THE EMERGING DESTINATION.

WE ARE ABLE TO FULFILL NOT ALL OF THE CURRENT OUTPUT.

IT´S ALSO FOREVER THE EVER- GROWING REPUBLICANS.

>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

OUR ECONOMY WAS HELD TOGETHER BY MY TEAM AND THE ABILITY TO KEEP PEOPLE WORKING AT THE REFINERY.

IT´S OUR ABILITY TO GO AND GET FEDERAL DOLLARS.

TO MAKE DECISIONS AND NOW WE HAVE A MARINE BUSINESS HERE IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

WE HAVE INTERNET EVERYWHERE.

I BELIEVE IT´S THE ONSET OF THE COVID VIRUS.

WE CAN WORK FROM HERE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE THING WE CAN DO AND WE´VE ALREADY STARTED THAT PROCESS.

IT´S A FREE-TRADE ZONE.

THAT TOOK FOREVER.

WE FINALLY GOT IT.

WE ARE TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT THAT.

BEING ABLE TO DO THAT AND HAVE TRADED ALONG THAT.

IT´S THE RECONVENING OF IT FOR THE REFINERY.

WANTING TO DO THOSE SHIPMENTS AND OTHER TYPES FOR THE FIRST TIME., AS IT´S THE EXPANSION WHERE WE ARE SERVING OVER 50% OF THE PRODUCTS TO THE CARIBBEAN.

IT´S ABOUT EMERGING WHEN WE HAVE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ACADEMY.

COMING UP FOR THE INNOVATION WITH EACH OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.

COMPUTER TRAINING AND I.T.

TRAINING.

IT´S ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY PART THAT IS DOING IT BUT THEY HAVE THE CENTER THAT´S NOW COMING IN WITH A BRAND-NEW TECHNOLOGY COMPANY.

WHEN YOU LOOK TO THE FUTURE, THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING THAT NOW.

FREE VOCATIONAL TRAINING IS GOING TO PAY OFF.

>> ALL MOVE ON.

THEY GET THAT INFLATION.

THEY HAVE A MILE OF PIPELINE FOR ALL.

THEY SAY WE ARE IN DISCUSSION WITH THEM.

THAT´S WHAT MY PIPELINE HAS GENERATED OVER 200 YARDS.

THEY CAME TO COLLECT $14 BILLION THEY TOOK A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE LEGISLATION.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT, THEY THEY CAME UP IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

AS PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

WE WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND BRING MANUFACTURING BACK.

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MARKET THAT.

WE WANT TO BRING LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WANT TO PLACE IT WITH COVID.

THAT´S WHERE OUR PRODUCTS WERE MADE IN THE USA.

THEY WILL TELL US -- THEY REDEVELOPED THAT.

THEY ARE COMING OFF OF THAT.

>> THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE PIPELINE.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU FORCED IT DOWN PEOPLE´S THROWS.

YOU CAN´T JUST TAKE THINGS AND MOVE THEM TO THE LEGISLATURE WITHOUT LETTING THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATE WITH THEIR CONCERNS AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT MOVING THINGS FORWARD, AND CAN TAKE YOU FOUR YEARS FOR 12 PIECES TO GET THEM BACK.

IMAGINE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE YOU TO BUILD A HOSPITAL.

THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING A FUSS.

>> I CAN´T TAKE IT HERE.

IT´S FIVE YEARS.

YOU´RE GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THE ABILITY AND THE FUTURE GOVERNOR TO OPEN.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A SENSE OF URGENCY.

THERE IS A LACK OF A SENSE OF URGENCY.

THAT´S WHAT MATTERS THE MOST.

THERE IS A SENSE OF URGENCY.

HE SENT IT ABOUT THAT FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> PUTTING IT IN THE TERRITORY.

BADLY DAMAGED AND THEN LEARNING FACILITIES THAT WERE ALREADY IN DISREPAIR.

THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THE CONSTANT SEPARATION.

HE´S ALONE AND HUNDREDS HAVE LEFT.

THE OVERALL STATE.

THEY HAVE AN ONGOING ISSUE.

YOUR COMING UP FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

GIVING YOU FOUR MORE YEARS.

WHAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR A DECISION IF YOU WERE TO BE RELEASED?

>> THE FIRST THING I WOULD SAY IS FOR TWO YEARS WE STRUGGLED AT THE EDUCATION.

THE REPUTATION WAS ALREADY DAMAGED WHEN WE INHERITED THE SYSTEM WE GOT OUR MODULATORS THAT WERE THERE.

PEOPLE HAVE TO GO IN NOW AND RETROFIT ALL OF THOSE MODULATORS.

BOTH OF THESE WERE IN THE LEGISLATURE.

WE DIDN´T HAVE TIME.

>> WHEN WE GOT IT, WE ONLY OPENED AT ONE TIME BEFORE WE FACE COVID IN FEBRUARY OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

EVEN THOUGH WE FACE COVID EVERYTHING IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL EVERYONE HAS A UP TOP THEY CAN USE THEY ALL HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

IT´S BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE THERE WE HAVE AN ONLINE ACADEMY NOW.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO TO HIGH SCHOOL ONLINE.

IT´S ON THAT PROCESS THEY HAD THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF ENROLLMENT IN HISTORY IN THE LAST MAYBE 20 YEARS WE ONLY HAD 8000.

THERE IS ONLY 18 STUDENTS.

HAVE PROBLEMS.

WERE GOING TO WORK THROUGH IT BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS --AN OPPORTUNITY THAT´S NOT AFFORDED TO ANYONE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO.

IT TOOK US YEARS TO ESTABLISH IT WITH FEMA BUT IT´S ALREADY THERE.

WE GOT $240 MILLION.

OUR STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THEY WERE UNDER ITS 1-2 LEVELS BEHIND.

THEY DEVELOPED A PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THAT.

>> IT IS A PLAN AND HOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS IT.

AND A PLAN AS TO HOW YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE ONGOING MAINTENANCE.

THIS ADMINISTRATION CAME UP FOR ONE YEAR.

THERE WERE GOING TO REPAIR ANYTHING.

A REFRESHING IN THE LAST MONTH.

>> HE´S NOT TELLING YOU THAT COVID CLOSURES --WE SHOULD ACCEPT THEM TO OPEN.

>> AS WELL AS RIGHT THERE HE PUBLICLY CRITICIZED IT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE CLOSE.

WHEN THE COVID PANDEMIC WAS JUST ABOUT TO EXTEND.

WE HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT.

LEARNING AT LAST PHENOMENON THAT IS GLOBAL.

WE ARE AWARE OF THIS.

THEY HAD THE SPECIFIC ONE MOVING FORWARD.

THAT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INCLUDING OTHER SCHOOLS.

YOU HOWEVER HAVE CRITICIZED WHAT YOU HAVE SAID.

COMING UP FROM THE COAST.

HAVE TO MOVE THESE PROJECTS FASTER AND FURTHER.

HOW WOULD THE ADMINISTRATION CHANGE?

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE HAVE ALREADY SPOTTED THAT.

ONLY 100,000 WERE SPENT.

GETTING THE PROJECT.

SHE SAID SHE´S GOING TO SEND IT.

WE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT MONEY AND INSTEAD OF A MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THEY ARE GOING TO BE PERFORMING WITH THAT.

WE HAVE THE ISSUES WITH PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT BEING COMPLETED BUT THE PROGRAM WITH A RANDOM PORTION WITH $3.1 MILLION.

THEY CLEARLY SAID YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE COST.

IT´S A LACK OF MANAGEMENT A LACK OF ADMINISTRATION.

IT WAS A YEAR TO REPLAY THE COMPANY.

IT TOOK A YEAR TO GET THE NEXT COMPANY TO EXECUTE THAT PROGRAM.

THEY ARE ALSO INTERNALLY GETTING THAT ISSUE THAT´S WHY WE CAN´T GET THEM.

IT´S AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO BE ABLE TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS.

WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS THE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

IF HE MANAGES THAT EMERGENCY SITUATION HE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

THE RATE THEY ARE GOING NOW WE ARE GOING TO COMPLETELY RUN OUT PROJECTS.

THEY DID $40 MILLION ON THE WATERFRONT.

IT´S NOT EVEN A CONTRACT IN THE TERRITORY.

WE HAVE 267 PROJECTS.

THEY CRITICIZED EVERYBODY WHO COMES BEFORE YOU, YOU REALIZE CRITICIZING THEM THEY NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY WRITE THE MOVIE.

>> HE´S THE ONLY PERSON -- SOMEBODY FULL 10.

YOU ARE THE GOVERNOR NOBODY ELSE WAS CHALLENGING HIM.

I´M THE GOVERNOR.

I RUN THIS.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THEY HAVE FAILED WITH THE COMPANY ENVISIONED.

WHEN IT COMES TO REBUILDING SCHOOLS.

IT IS NEXT YEAR.

WE HAVE THIS MONEY.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.

>> I GET ONE MORE REBUTTAL.

>> PLEASE BE QUIET, THANK YOU.

I WANT TO RESPOND TO THAT AND FOLLOW UP WITH YOU.

YOU WOULD THEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

>> I MAY HAVE THOSE ISSUES BUT I´M NOT WORKING FOR THAT.

WE BROUGHT THEM BEFORE.

WE BROUGHT THEM BEFORE AND WE BEGAN TO QUESTION THE PROCESS SEEING THAT A LOT OF THE INTERNAL IS IN THERE WITH BOTH OF THEM.

THEY HAD ISSUES WITH MANAGEMENT.

THAT´S EXACTLY WHAT IS TAKEN.

YOU CAN´T JUST GO OUT THERE.

>> I´M GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT.

>> SAY DON´T KNOW, THAT´S WHAT YOU JUST SAID HERE.

YOUR RUNNING MATE SAID IF IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR YOU, BOTH OF THE DEPARTMENTS ARE GOING TO GET IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.

>> THE KEY THING HERE IS IT´S A COMPLICATED PROCESS TO GET ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

THEY WERE BUILT OVER SIX YEARS.

TO GET BACK THERE IT´S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME, MANPOWER AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER.

WE SEE A PAYMENT OF $150 MILLION.

THIS MONEY IS TO HELP THE PENSION SYSTEM AND FUND THE FUNGIBILITY.

THEY HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION FROM $100,000 AND QUARTER OF $1 MILLION.

THAT´S PART OF THE COMPETENCE.

>> IN LIGHT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING?

AND PROMISING TO SEE THROUGH TO PROTECT THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BEING PROVIDED?

>> FOR A WHILE --THE LEGISLATURE TRIED TO IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON US AND PUTTING PEOPLE ON BOARD.

WE CHALLENGE THAT.

EVEN FOR THE PEOPLE THAT APPOINTED TO THE HOSPITAL BAR --THE GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS IS PUTTING PEOPLE ABOARD.

OTHER PEOPLE BEING ELECTED IS NOT HOW IT´S SUPPOSED TO BE.

WE´VE BEEN TRYING TO DO OUR BEST TO FIND PEOPLE TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW.

THE REALITY IS WE NEED TO GET PROFESSIONAL HELP THIS YEAR RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A CONFLICT WITH THE LEGISLATURE BUT IF YOU CAN BRING ANYONE ANYWHERE ELSE ON YOUR BOARD --THE LEGISLATURE IS PROTECTING AND WE CAN´T DO THAT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM FROM THAT DISTRICT.

EVEN THOUGH YOUR LIVING IN MILWAUKEE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE --THAT´S FOOLISH.

WE DON´T CARE IF THEY COME FROM THE STATES WHY DO WE CARE?

WE NEED TO USE OUR COLLECTIVE RESOURCES IN ORDER TO BUILD THESE FORCES AND IT ADDRESSES THE CONCERNS OF THE INDEPENDENT DISTRICT BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE COMPETENCY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.

IF WE DON´T DO THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY LIMITED TO EACH ISLAND IN THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE WILLING TO SEND COUNTLESS AND COUNTLESS OF HOURS PULLING OVER MATERIAL.

SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY IN BOARD MEETINGS THOSE DAYS ARE PAST.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE WAY WE APPOINT PEOPLE AND LOOK AT THE WAY WE COMPENSATE PEOPLE FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPETENCY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS MOST IMPORTANT.

>> THIS BOARD IS GOING TO BEGIN --RIGHT?

>> EXACTLY.

WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH WHAT THE BOARD PASSED.

>> YES.

>> THAT´S AN ISSUE I HAVE IT IS ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS.

THEY ALREADY HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE.

IT WAS GOOD.

THEY PROPOSED IT WAS OUT OF THE BLUE.

THE INCREASED WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS SALLY SOME 40% WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION.

THEY HAVE 75 EMPLOYEES TO THE HOSPITAL OR EVEN TO THE UNIVERSITY.

MY OBJECTION IS MAINLY AROUND HOW IT WAS DONE.

WE HAVE TO MOVE ON TO THAT PERFORMANCE.

TO IMPOSE THEIR POWER.

THE GOVERNOR CAN´T DO THAT.

HE DOESN´T SHOW UP IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.

HE WAS REALLY NOT ON THAT.

HE CAN´T DO THAT.

THE PUSH DOWN DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN THEM A REASON.

HE WAS GIVEN 40,000 BEFORE AND $110,000 AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

NOW HE´S MAKING IT AN ISLAND ISSUE.

ALL OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS DON´T HAVE TO COME DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS PART OF THAT?

IT´S THE DECISION THEY MADE.

>> WE NEED THOSE INDIVIDUALS.

THEY REMOVED -- THEY HAD THE FOREWORD.

NONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WERE SENT OFF.

>> I REALLY DON´T HAVE ENOUGH TO SAY THAT.

THE SENATOR AND HIS BROTHER SEEM TO NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE SEPARATION OF POWERS.

THE GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS HAS THE SOLE RIGHT TO APPOINT THE LEGISLATURE AND HAS THE FULL RIGHT TO CONFIRM THAT.

THEIR ROLE IS NOT TO ASSIGN ANYBODY ELSE.

MY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR IS A FULLY COMPETENT ATTORNEY ON THE JOB FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

NOT BECAUSE HE´S GETTING PAID BUT BECAUSE HE´S A PASSIONATE PERSON AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THE ACTIVITIES BRING A LARGE PORTION OF THE INCOME.

YET THE HIGHEST LEGISLATURE.

>> AND WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT TO SEE THAT?

>> IT´S REALLY ABOUT THE POWER.

YEAR.

THE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS THE GOVERNMENT --THEY HAVE A STRONGER HOLD ON THE VIRGIN ISLANDS FOLLOWING WHAT THEY HAVE $160 MILLION.

THEY HAVE ABOUT 14% OVER FIVE YEARS.

THEY HAVE THE NEXT $12 MILLION.

WE NEED TO GET THEM INTO THE ROOM AND REFINANCE THAT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF YEARS IF YOU GET AN ENTITY THAT WILL BE ABLE TO FINANCE THAT -- THEY WERE REALLY SHOW THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

IT´S IN THE UNITED STATES OR OTHER TERRITORIES WE DEFINITELY HAVE THE EFFICIENCY .

IT´S ALL OF THOSE ITEMS.

THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DEAL THAT CONTRACT.

WE REFINANCE IT AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

>> THANK YOU SIR.

GOVERNOR?

>> IF ANYTHING I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE WORK TOGETHER ON THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

WE HAVE ABOUT $6 MILLION.

WE HAVE THOSE OTHER QUESTIONS WE PREPARE.

MOST OF THAT IS THE ADMINISTRATOR.

THERE IS NO ONE WHO KNOWS MORE ON THE HEELS OF EDUCATION.

IN 2010 WHILE YOU WERE STILL THERE , DEEP IT DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR SAID $1 BILLION IN ORDER TO REPAIR THAT AND THAT WAS BEFORE.

WHY HAVE YOU NOT BEEN A CHAMPION FOR THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?

LEADING LEGISLATION INTO A BETTER EDUCATION SYSTEM.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO MOVE THE LEGISLATION.

I HAVE OFFERED NUMEROUS TAILS .

TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN IT.

>> THEY ARE TALENTED PROGRAMS .

HAVE CHAMPION EDUCATION FROM THE DAY TO MAKE SURE -- GETTING UNION CONTRACTS FOR REASON.

IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY.

NOT DEALING WITH QUALITY-OF- LIFE ISSUES.

YOU CAN COUNT THEM, I DID.

MONEY IS NOT THE SYSTEM.

THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS BROKEN.

THAT IS PART OF THE EDUCATION.

IT TAKES THE MAINTENANCE AWAY FROM THE EDUCATORS AND PUTS THEM IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITH MAINTENANCE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS GOAL.

THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AND IF YOU´RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS MONEY --I HAVEN´T DONE ANYTHING.

IT WASN´T FOR THAT -- IT´S PART OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE.

COMING UP WITH GREGORY.

IT´S PART OF THE BUREAUCRACY WE NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE.

WE HAVE OVER $200 MILLION.

FULL CONTRACT.

WHAT IS THE JUSTIFICATION ON HOW YOU REST AT NIGHT KNOWING YOU GET THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT.

I ALWAYS LIKE WHEN HE ASKED THIS QUESTION.

WE ISSUE NO BIG CONTRACT.

THEY FACILITATE THE CLEANING OF THE OFFENSE.

AND THE FACILITIES WERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND GET HELP IN HERE I CAN TO HELP THE NURSES A VERY TIRED WORKFORCE.

I DON´T KNOW WHAT CONTRACT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BUT IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT THE CONTRACT --WHAT LEGISLATION HAS HE PUT FOURTH THAT THAT DOESN´T HAPPEN.

YOU´VE BEEN THERE FOR EIGHT YEARS.

YOUR RUNNING MATE.

YOU HAVE NOT PRODUCED ANY LEGISLATION ON TOP OF ANY OF THIS.

THAT´S WHAT THEY WERE REFERRING TO.

THAT´S YOUR JOB, RIGHT?

THAT´S UNDER THE SCRUTINY., THEY HAVE THE CONTRACTS TO GET THROUGH.

JUST RECENTLY THINK THAT THE FULL CONTRACT TO PERFORM DUTIES THAT ARE ALREADY BEING PERFORMED.

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS TO TRY TO GIVE THEM A CONTRACT TO MANAGE THE PROGRAM.

THOSE WERE REJECTED TWICE BY THE BOARD.

>> YOU HAD A QUESTION?

>> WE HAVE TO MOVE THE SECOND HALF OF OUR QUESTIONING.

THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

>> THEY ARE IN POSITION FOR 2014.

THEY HAVE THE LEGAL COMMISSIONER.

$7640 A MATTER OF BIG BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.

DOES NOT SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION.

THE FEDERAL FINDINGS WILL REQUEST IT AS REQUIRED BY THAT POLICY.

THE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT FINISHED DOCUMENTING THE ESTABLISHMENT FOR A DEGREE AND NECESSARY TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FEDERAL GRANT.

WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING COMING UP FOR THE RECOVERY AND RAISES THE QUESTION FOR THE ABILITY TO MANAGE ONE OF THE LARGEST FEDERAL INVESTMENTS.

>> I NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

>> WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A SUBSIDY --EVERY DAY I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MEXICO AND FLORIDA I´M IN MEETINGS WHERE THEY BELONG WITH TWO $-3000.

MY THOUGHT WAS IF YOU´RE GETTING SOMEBODY EDUCATION IT´S MUCH MORE WORTH IT SO THE PROBLEM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS, WE DON´T HAVE ANY POLICIES.

WE WROTE A POLICY.

>> THEY WILL SUBSIDIZE ITS FOR A FEW DIFFERENT DEGREES.

YOU BETTER MAKE SURE IN YOUR INVESTMENT TAKES OFF FOR THE ONE FINAL FEDERAL FINDING.

THAT´S COMING UP FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.

>> MY EDUCATION IS FINANCE.

COMING UP FOR THE PROGRAM.

THAT IS NOT THE ONLY LITTLE EMPLOYEE THAT NEEDS TRAINING PUCK AS A MATTER OF FACT I ENCOURAGE ALL MY EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GO TO COLLEGE AND I TRY TO MAKE A WAY FOR THEM TO GO BACK AND SUPPORT THE EDUCATION.

I UNDERSTAND HOW MANY SINGLE MOTHERS NEED THAT TUITION MONEY AND NEED THE FULL POTENTIAL.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THE FELLOW REPORT OF A FINANCIAL AUDIT WITH THE ACCOUNTING FOR THE FISCAL YEARS OF 2010 AND 2014.

YOU WANT TO COME INTO JUNE BEFORE BEING TRANSPORTED OFF.

I FOUND THAT THE SCHOOL MANAGED TO GET THE ACCOUNT AND EXTEND THE ACCOUNTING WITH A CONTROL PROCEDURE.

31,261.

THERE WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH THE NEED THROUGH AUGUST 2012.

THEY CAREFULLY REVIEWED THE DOCUMENT AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TRANSACTION STOPPING IN OCTOBER 2011 WHICH IS AFTER THAT.

HOWEVER -- THEY IDENTIFY TIMES WHEN YOU PROVIDED INSUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION NEAR THE FOREFRONT.

ACCORDING TO THE AUDIT YOU CASHED A CHECK WORTH $2000.

THE CHECK REQUEST INDICATED TRAVEL, TRANSPORTATION AND EVALUATION.

THE RECEIPTS YOU PROVIDED IN THE EXPLANATION DID NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF TRAVEL FOR THE FINAL AUDIT.

POOR MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL FUNDS.

YOU FAILED TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT SMALL IS THE AMOUNT MAY BE.

WHILE I CHOOSE YOU THAT´S YOU WILL BE MORE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.

I´M SURE THE BULK OF WHAT YOU´RE SPEAKING ABOUT -- OCTOBER OF 2011.

THE BULK OF IT IS COMING OFF AND WHEN I LEFT THERE WAS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE ADMINISTRATION THAT WAS THERE AFTER ME.

ALSO COMING WITH THE CLOSE-UP TRIP.

THERE WERE A NUMBER OF EXPENSES.

I DON´T SEE ANYTHING IN REFERENCE TO THAT RECEIPT.

IT WAS THE DIVERSION.

NEVER WAS THERE A CONTRACT WHEN I LEFT IN THE FIRST YEAR THE FIRST $50,000 .

SPENDING ZERO DOLLARS LOOK AT THE EDUCATION -- COMING UP WITH THOSE PACKAGES.

NOW HAS THERE IS A CONTRACT FOR EVERYTHING.

THE BULK OF WHAT YOU´RE TALKING ABOUT -- I CAN CONFIRM WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT.

THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT.

>> HIS RUNNING MATE MAY HAVE DIFFERENT ROLES.

YOU SEE WHEN YOU COME BEFORE THAT.

THAT´S A BIG DEAL.

WE DIDN´T EVEN KNOW IF YOU WENT.

THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM.

IT´S OKAY IF THEY DO IT.

THE LEGISLATURE LACKS REAL TRANSPARENCY HERE YOU HAVE THE HEAD OF THE FINANCIER SAYING THAT HE IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE UP UNTIL NOW WE STILL DON´T KNOW WHAT THE LEGISLATURE SPEND THEIR MONEY ON.

THEY REPRESENT THEIR BUDGET EVERY YEAR.

EVERY MONTH -- THEY NEVER SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO THE SAME THING.

THEY PASS THE AUDIT THEN AND THEY CAN PASS THE AUDIT AS GOVERNOR.

>> FASCINATING WHAT THE GOVERNOR NEEDS ., COMING UP WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

IT´S NOT A COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF ALL EXPENSES.

I´M GOING TO PUBLISH IT AND I CAN PUBLISH MY OFFICE REPORTS.

I SPENT THE MONEY WE WERE SUPPOSED TO END.

AND CAN PUT THIS ONE UP BEFORE.

>> >> YOU HAVE CRITICIZED THE SENATOR FOR WHAT YOU CONTEND IS A SPECIAL INTEREST DEAL THAT ALLOWS HIM AGRICULTURAL LAND.

COMING UP IN THE COMMUNITY INPUT .

WHEN YOU PROVED THE AMENDED MEASURE , THEY COME UP ON LAND.

YOU SAID QUOTE I´M GOING TO OPPOSE HIM WITH SPECIAL INTEREST PROHIBITED BY THE REVISED ACT.

THE QUESTION IS YOU´RE THE ONE WHO SENT IT INTO LAW.

>> THE ONE THING WAS THE SENATOR HE´S VERY CRAFTY.

USUALLY WHEN THERE´S SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL YOU PUT IN AT LEAST SOMETHING THAT GIVES ME THE ABILITY TO VETO ANY ITEM .

OF COURSE I COULDN´T DO IT THEN IT WOULD HAVE HELD UP.

THAT´S WHAT I WAS GOING THERE.

I HAVE TO MAKE SURE TO MENTION THAT WAS THE PROCESS --PEOPLE ARE GOING TO OPPOSE THINGS THE EXPANSION I HAVE BUT THE POINT IS YOU HAVE THE COMMUNITY.

THEY ADVOCATED FOR THAT WHICH IS THE USE OF A COURT CASE THEY HAD.

HE´S ACTUALLY PASSED THE LEGISLATION TO APPROPRIATE $4 MILLION.

HE IS ALSO A SUPPORTER OF THE BELL THAT´S DEFINITELY OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO US.

THAT´S BEFORE HIS GOOD FRIEND GOT EVERY $10 MILLION YOU HAD BACK YET TO HIGHER ONE EMPLOYEE.

HE SNUCK IT PAST US TOO TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON´T HAVE TO DO THAT ANYMORE.

LIKE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

LIKE THE DOWNTOWN ACT.

LIKE THE PRE-ENTERPRISE ZONE WHICH TOOK YOU FOUR YEARS TO WRITE A DOCUMENT.

HE RANKED THAT DEVELOPMENT.

HE AMENDED IT.

THAT WAS COMPOSED ORIGINALLY BY THE GOVERNOR.

AND HAS NO ORIGINAL LEGISLATION.

EVERY LEGISLATION HAS CREATIVITY .

IT´S DEFUNCT.

>> YOU HAVE THE LEGISLATION SUBMITTED.

SUBMITTED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THEY´RE GOING TO GET THE BILL.

I THINK HERE.

THE REQUEST IS MADE THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WOULD BE ABLE TO SETTLE ON THE AGREEMENT FROM COURT.

IS ALSO REQUESTED AND -- GETTING THE ISLAND IN THE TERRITORY FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

>> YOU KEEP REFERRING TO THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I STRAIGHTENED OUT.

WE HAVE TO PAY $1.8 MILLION FOR IT.

A PLAN THAT NEVER WORKED.

I HAVE TO GO AND GET IT NOW.

HE OFFERED A PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT BREACHED THAT.

NOW HE´S GOING TO GET A BRAND- NEW RACETRACK.

>> THANK YOU.

OVER THE YEARS WE HEARD A LOT OF TALK.

THE HOMICIDES CONTINUE THE SHOOTINGS CONTINUE.

THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT.

ARE WE BANKRUPT OF IDEAS?

>> NO WE ARE NOT.

A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

WE HAVE THAT POPULATION.

WE DON´T HAVE A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS --WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE TENDENCY TO BECOME CRIMINALS AND POST THEIR CAREERS .

THE YOUNG INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED SOME HELP IN TERMS OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION.

THEY COME UP ON A REGULAR BASIS.

WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE OFFICERS ARE WORKING WHEN THE CRIME OCCURS.

THEY HAVE BEEN CALLING TO THAT IN FIGHTING FOR THAT SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE EVERYONE IS ON THIS ISLAND.

THEY ARE COMING UP ON THAT INSTALLATION.

WE HAVE CREATED AN INTRODUCTION THAT´S WHAT IS GOING ON.

THEY´RE DEALING WITH THAT PRESENT TRAJECTORY.

SO DEFINITELY ON THAT ONE.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES WE CAN EMPLOY.

I THINK IT´S TIME FOR US -- >> SILENCED.

THEY MAP THE ADMINISTRATION.

HAVE HUNDREDS OF BULLETS THEY PUT IN TERRORIZING PEOPLE DOING THE ADMINISTRATION.

THE MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC.

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF -- THEY HAVE A DOWNWARD TREND.

WE HAD THE MOST AMOUNT OF MURDERS IN ALMOST 20 YEARS AND SEVEN MARTYRS TO DATE.

WE HAVE JUST PUT UP 35 NEW OFFICERS WE REINTRODUCE THAT SYSTEM TO ADD MORE OFFICERS AND COMMUNITIES.

WE ADDED A DRONE UNIT WHERE WE CAN LOOK OVER.

YOU HEAR FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

YOU DON´T HEAR ANY DETAILED INFORMATION THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COMMUNITY --THE GOVERNOR IS OVER THE COMMISSIONER.

NOT THE SENATE.

IS COMING OVER THE COMMISSIONER.

HE´S GETTING THAT ABILITY.

IT´S CONVENIENT WITH THAT POST AT TIMES.

WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW CRIME IS PART OF IT.

>> THAT´S A LOT.

THEY HAD THAT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.

I ALWAYS GET THIS WRONG.

IT´S FINALLY UP AND RUNNING OUR VIOLENCE INTERRUPTED -- TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ACTION.

WE LIVE IN AMERICA.

MAKING A RECORD AMOUNT OF ARRESTS THIS YEAR ALONE.

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> THEY ARE SITTING BY IDLY.

THEY RESULTED IN THE LAST OF MANY JOBS.

THEY HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

IT´S THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT IF ANY DO YOU HAVE TO INFLUENCE REOPENING?

>> IT´S PART OF THE ECONOMY.

THEY BRING UP THE REFINERY AND THEN TO BEING CLOSE.

ON THE ROAD IN WASHINGTON, D.C. TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY OPEN THE REFINERY AGAIN.

THEY WEREN´T GOING BANKRUPT THAT A CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION.

SINCE THAT TIME WE WORKED HARD TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTOOD WE DIDN´T WANT THAT.

WE GOT A BUYER, THE BUYER IS NOW SECURE THEY FINANCED THAT AND SECURED IT THEN THEY WERE RUSHING THE WAR IN THE UKRAINE.

THEY´RE TELLING ME NOW THEY HAVE SECURITY.

IT´S THE FIRST ORDER OF NEXT YEAR MAINLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

I´M ASKING MYSELF WHERE WE GOING TO FIND THE WORKERS UNITS?

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A SERIOUS EMPLOYMENT SHORTAGE AS WE DO -- AROUND THE GROVE.

PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR TALENT.

THAT´S FLORIDA.

THE PORTAGE THEY ARE --I EXPECT SHORTAGE.

IT´S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE BUT IT´S A PROBLEM JUST THE SAME.

NOT ONLY WILL IT SLOW OUR RECOVERY BUT IT WILL ALSO CREATE PROBLEMS WITH SUPPLIERS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE WITH HOW LONG THEIR EQUIPMENT IS TAKING.

NOW IT´S PART OF THE HOSPITAL FOR OTHER PRIVATE SECTORS WE ARE WORKING ON.

WE HAVE OTHER SUPPLIES YOU WANTED.

THIS IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT OFTEN.

TOGETHER WE GET THE REFINERY.

WERE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET MORE WORKERS IN ORDER TO KEEP IT RUNNING.

>> THAT´S THE SAME QUESTION.

>> FIRST WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ENVIRONMENTAL.

WE HAD OVER 3000 TRYING TO GET THE REFINERY.

THAT´S WHEN THE INDIVIDUALS CAME BACK TO THE ISLANDS.

COMING ALONG WITH THE REFINERY.

THEY ARE AT 30%.

THEY´RE GOING INTO THE GAS STATION IN COMPARISON TO WHERE THEY ARE OPEN .

THEY WILL CLEARLY TELL YOU THERE IS A DRAFT DIFFERENCE WHEN WE HAVE 2000 INDIVIDUALS WORKING RIGHT THERE.

THEY ARE COMING UP WITH THAT GROUP.

AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THAT -- I COME UP FROM THE PREVIOUS ORDER.

THEY SAID THEY HAD A FURTHER LAWSUIT -- THEY WERE GRADUATING AS THE ORIGINALS -- HE´S NOT SURE ABOUT THE CAPACITY.

HE´S NOT SURE ABOUT THE CAPACITY AND BRINGING INDIVIDUALS TO THE TABLE.

WE HAD EVERYTHING.

I HAVE A COPY OF THAT.

I AM PRAYING THAT THEY FIND THE FINANCIAL WHERE ABOUT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

WE ARE AT THE TERMINAL.

-- >> YOU DON´T BELIEVE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE A REAL REFINERY?

>> THEY ARE CONFIRMING IT.

THAT FOR CERTAIN ERAS WHERE THEY COMPLIED.

THEY OPEN THAT ENCOURAGEMENT WITH THE ORDER WE CAN GET THERE AND OPEN IT.

THAT´S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.

>> ONCE AGAIN NO SOLUTION.

WHAT HE´S GOING TO DO ABOUT THE REFINERY.

WHAT IS THE PLAN?

HE´S GOING TO WAIT UNTIL HE GETS IN AND HAS A CONVERSATION THE REALITY IS AND THAT WE ARE TAKING ACTION EVERY SINGLE DAY WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES THERE IS RACHLIN´S COMMENTS THAT SENATORS MAKE ITS OF COMPANIES ABILITY TO RETAIN THAT NEW INVESTMENT .

OFTEN TIMES THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SAYING DAMAGE IT JUST LIKE ALL OF IT.

>> THEY HAD AN ENVIRONMENTAL HE SAID I AM VINDICATED AND I´M SURE YOU HAVE TOO.

I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED I´M HAPPY.

YOU CAN´T COME HERE NOW AND ASK IF THAT´S ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS.

AND THE REFINERY DOESN´T LINE UP FOR THAT.

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HAS NEVER BOTHERED US YET FOR ANY PROJECT AND YOU CAN CHECK MY RESUME.

>> ON DECEMBER 20th 2021 THEY CAME UP WITH AN EVENT AND YOU PRAISE THE GOVERNOR FOR THE ECONOMY DURING COVID.

I UNDERSTAND THE GOVERNOR HAS THE ECONOMY ESPECIALLY DURING COVID.

BUDGET AND I THOUGHT WE ARE GOING TO $30 MILLION IN THE BACK.

SURPRISINGLY THE NUMBERS CAME IN ABOVE WHAT WE PROJECTED.

IN TERMS OF OUR COLLECTION OF FUNDS.

BEFORE COVID HIT.

THE OCTOBER NUMBERS WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT IN 2021 WE COLLECTED $35 MILLION.

IT ALLOWED US TO GENERATE THE FUNDS AND CONTINUE WITH THOSE GOALS THAT WE SET VERY EARLY.

>> MY COMMENT IS DIRECTLY IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID SITUATION.

THE ABILITY TO KEEP IT OPEN THE ABILITY TO KEEP OUR PROJECTS GOING.

AND COLLECT WHAT WAS NOT DECREASED.

IT´S THE BEST PHENOMENON SO I KNOW THAT WE COME BACK IN LINE AT THAT NUMBER IS GOING TO GO UP MORE.

THAT´S EVERYTHING THE GOVERNOR HAS DONE.

THAT´S WHEN YOU´RE GOING TO SEE EVERYTHING.

WE ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE FINANCES .

WE ALSO HAD HIM CONTRIBUTE A LOT OF THAT.

THE ISSUES I HAVE WITH THE ADMINISTRATION IS THE ABILITY TO AFFECT THE QUALITY.

EVERYTHING IS THE NECESSARILY PART OF THE COLLECTION.

THEY IMPACT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS THAT LIVE THERE.

MAY WE TRANSITION FROM THAT PARTICULAR PERIOD.

I´M RUNNING OUT AND I EXPIRE.

THEY HAVE A PART OF ME.

>> COME NOW SENATOR.

YOU´RE NOT HAVING ECONOMIC CONCERNS.

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE $26 MILLION EVERY SINGLE YEAR AS GOVERNOR AND YOU COME BACK.

YOU´RE THE ONE THAT PUT UP A -TRAP BUT WE MAYBE JUMPED OVER THE HURDLE $10 MILLION IN THE FIRST YEAR .

WE PAID IT.

WE PAID BACK THE GENERAL FUNDS .

WE PAID THE RETIREMENT WE TOOK $30 MILLION AWAY FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND STILL CAME IN UNDER.

NOW IT´S ALMOST UP TO $50 MILLION.

THE ECONOMY IS DOING THAT THIS IS NOT JUST DURING COVID.

YOU KNOW IT´S DOING GOOD NOW TOO.

COMING UP FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS.

WE SIMPLY DON´T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND RESOURCES TO DO IT IT´S LIKE TRYING TO JOB 6000 DOLLARS.

WE´VE BEEN ADDING $10 MILLION EVERY YEAR.

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST YEAR WHERE IT WILL COME BACK AND THAT WAS WRITTEN .

IT WASN´T WRITTEN BY THE GOVERNOR.

MAKE SURE THE VIRGIN ISLANDS GOT THE MONEY .

THANK YOU FOR ASSIGNING.

YOU MADE SOME PROMISES.

YOU PROMISED A NEW MAJOR HOTEL IN THE FIRST STEP.

THAT HASN´T HAPPENED.

YOU ENVISION THAT PROGRAM IT´S PROBABLY ANOTHER DAMAGED HOME.

ANOTHER 16 HOMES HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED WITHIN FIVE YEARS.

COMING UP ON OCTOBER 5th FOR THE SENATE HEARING.

WORK WILL GET DONE IF YOU ARE ELECTED FOR THE SECOND TERM.

>> WHEN YOU EVALUATE --WE HAVE FOUR THINGS AND ALL THE MANY PROMISES.

THE SENATOR SAID IT DOESN´T AFFECT PEOPLE´S QUALITY OF LIFE.

A MOTHER THAT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BUY HER DAUGHTER AND GIVE HER DAUGHTER A DOWN PAYMENT FOR CAR.

IT´S MORE MONEY .

I COULD TELL YOU ABOUT PEOPLE WHO FINALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SAVINGS NOW.

WITH THAT MONEY COMING JUST IN TIME TO GET A NEW WASHER OR DRIER FOR THE KIDS.

HE´S A MONEY DOESN´T CHANGE QUALITY OF LIFE ALL WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS AS GOVERNOR YOU WOULDN´T HAVE DISTRIBUTED IT?

THE REASON THESE ISSUES ARE POPPING UP NOW THEY´RE TALKING ABOUT THAT FOUR YEARS AGO ABOUT THE RETIREMENT.

MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE MONEY.

NOBODY MOVED AND TWO YEARS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS -- GETTING THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION.

AND ALL THOSE POSITIVE COMMENTS.

IN THREE YEARS AND 10 MONTHS -- DESPITE HAVING ACCESS TO OVER $190 MILLION.

COMING UP FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION.

THEY GOT PAID $8 MILLION.

THEY HAVE 500 HOMES THAT HAVE TO BE RENEWED.

THEY ARE COMING UP IN THAT SITUATION WHERE 1600 HAVE ALREADY BEEN REVEALED.

THEY REJECTED THAT NO ONE MENTIONED IT AND WE FINALLY DECIDED COULD WE HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB?

YES BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK DOESN´T SAVE US.

>> I NEVER PROMISED ANYBODY I WOULD STOP.

>> THANK YOU WE´RE GOING TO MOVE QUICKLY.

TO BANQUET HALL WITH THE FOURTH TO OPERATE ON THE HOTEL.

THEY HAVE BEEN A LONGTIME SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE OTHER EVENTS .

ONE OF WHICH I HAVE ATTENDED.

WE HAVE SPECIAL PERMISSION.

THEY ALLOWED THAT.

WITH SPECIAL INTEREST.

I WOULD BE CONCERNED THAT IF YOU BECOME GOVERNOR YOU WHICH A SPECIAL FAVOR TO INDIVIDUALS .

>> DEFINITELY NOT.

>> THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS AND 500 CAPACITIES .

I FOUND THE ANSWER FROM THE LEGISLATION.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN A CASINO.

A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE IN WHICH THE HOTEL WAS CLOSED AND THE CASINO WAS CLOSED.

I NEEDED TO HAVE A CHANCE AT THE LEGISLATION WITH WHAT WAS WRITTEN .

THEY HAD 100 EMPLOYEES.

THEY HAD THAT AT THE CASINO .

I WAS PROTECTING THE JOB OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE WORKING HERE .

RECEIVED HEALTH INSURANCE AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COMPANY DOES NOT FALL OUT BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENTS .

THAT´S WHEN IT WAS CLOSED I´M GOING TO GO UP.

I HAVE ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED WITH THAT OBSTRUCTION.

IT´S AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

I REMEMBER THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND EVERY CONCERN THEY HAD I DRAFTED IT AND SAID I DON´T HAVE AN ISSUE.

COMING UP WITH THAT FACILITY I DON´T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT CONCERN BUT WE CAN AND DON´T HAVE TO DEVELOP THIS ENVIRONMENT.

THEY ARE IN NEGOTIATION.

THEY HAVE THE COMMISSIONER AND THEY SAID IT BEFORE.

I ASKED HIM DIRECTLY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

HE SAID A PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP AND THE GOVERNOR ADMITTED TO ME --THEY WERE NEGOTIATING WITH SOMEBODY.

SAID THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS PART OF THE DISTILLERY THAT´S WHAT HE SET.

THE REALITY OF IT IS IT´S PART OF THE TRUTH.

MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

WE WEREN´T GOING TO LAY THAT OUT.

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SAYING YOU DON´T HAVE TO DO 400,000 BUT YOU MOVE THAT TO ZERO HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS?

YOUR EQUATION WE ARE WITH CARE AND CONCERN FOR THE PROMISES THAT THEY MADE AN EXCHANGE FOR THE SENIORS THAT THEY HAD TO BUILD BACK A BANQUET HALL.

IT´S A VERY SIMPLE REQUEST.

ALLOWING FOR US TO HAVE SO MANY LEGAL PROBLEMS WITH OUR RACETRACK.

YOU MUDDY THE WATERS.

>> HE SAID -- >> HE HAS ABOUT 100.

HE HAD 700 .

YOU JUST OFFER THAT FOR THEM.

COMING UP FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

>> ADMIT IT, YOU WERE.

>> WE ARE OUT OF TIME.

>> THAT´S NOT THE POINT THOUGH.

THE RUM DISTILLERY FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT PUTTING IT THERE.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU FORGO THE PEOPLE´S RIGHTS FOR THAT.

>> THANK YOU.

WE ARE GOING TO RUN OUT OF TIME.

THANK YOU.

>> THE CANDIDATES WILL MAKE A CLOSING STATEMENT AND EXPLAIN THE POSITION EACH CANDIDATE IS ALLOWED ONE MINUTE FOR CLOSING STATEMENT.

>> THE PEOPLE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS UP HERE.

IT´S ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

THEY HAVE THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.

IT´S ABOUT COMING IN CLOSE FOR ONE YEAR AND IT´S NOT ADDRESSED AND THE ISSUE RECENTLY IS ABOUT -- IT´S ABOUT THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.

IT´S ABOUT THE ELECTRICITY THAT IS BEING TESTED.

THE GOVERNOR HAD MENTIONED THAT HE DOESN´T HAVE THAT.

WE HAVE TO TAKE ALL OF THOSE.

WE ARE ON THE TERRITORY ON EDUCATION -- >> THANK YOU GOVERNOR.

>> FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS HAVING A GREAT CONVERSATION.

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT PUT THIS TOGETHER.

FOUR YEARS AGO WE SET OUT ON A MISSION TO CHANGE COURSE SINCE THE TIME WE REENTERED THE MARKET.

WE PAID OFF OVER $20 MILLION.

IT´S YOUR POWER WE WENT BACK OVER HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

WE TESTED, TRIED AND PROVEN A TRUE.

WE´VE GOT SO MANY MORE TO ACCOMPLISH.

MORE THAN THE 100 WE HAVE.

THEY HAVE MADE THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

WE COULDN´T DO ALL THE THINGS WE DID AND TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER THAN EVER.

>> THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

WE WANT YOU TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8.

THANK YOU.
