So far no tropical storms and the Saharan Dust has been in force all week!
On this Friday, I am going to give you some of our ways with our locally elected and government workers. Although somewhat funny, some of these stories want to make me puke? Again you cannot make this shit up?
Accused Police Sergeant Allowed to Work Pending Outcome of Trial
Angelo Hill, the V.I. Police sergeant indicted earlier this year for his alleged involvement in a drug trafficking ring, has been allowed to go back to work at his family's car rental business pending the outcome of the case.
Former Schneider CEO Convicted of Tax Fraud
A federal jury convicted Rodney Miller Sr., former CEO of Schneider Regional Medical Center, of tax fraud on Wednesday after a two-day trial in district court on St. Thomas.
ST. THOMAS - After months of dodging its initial agreement to do so, the Economic Development Authority furnished an updated list of delinquent borrowers.
The list of 210 names sent Friday represents $6.4 million in delinquent loans made through the former Small Business Development Authority and the Government Development Bank since 1982.
However, the list still does not include many of the names or amounts referenced in an audit by the V.I. Inspector General's Office released in April that found Economic Development Authority's 2010 loan portfolio had a delinquency rate of 84.5 percent and that the Virgin Islands was owed about $8.5 million. The Economic Development Authority had lost millions of taxpayer dollars through negligent, insecure lending practices and through improper administration of its nine lending programs, the report stated.
ST. CROIX - Former V.I. Property and Procurement Commissioner Marc Biggs, who is on home confinement as the remaining months on his federal prison sentence for accepting bribes wind down, has landed another V.I. government job.
Biggs, 48, went to work Monday as the facilities coordinator on St. Croix for WTJX, the Virgin Islands Public Television System, according to V.I. Public Television System Chief Executive Officer Osbert Potter.

ST. THOMAS - V.I. police discovered more than 136 pounds of marijuana stuffed inside 68 La Choy Chow Mein Noodle cans Thursday at King Airport.
Police arrested Trevor Dolphin, who had just arrived on an American Airlines flight from Miami, after they received an anonymous phone tip.
Dolphin, who appeared Friday in V.I. District Court for his advice-of-rights hearing, is being charged with distribution of marijuana in excess of 50 kilograms after admitting to having dealt marijuana on St. Thomas for more than a year and a half, according to court documents.
Oh no where are we going to put our shit?
ST. THOMAS - The Bovoni landfill is in danger of bursting at the seams, Waste Management Authority Executive Director May Adams Cornwall said Wednesday.
At the same time, an $18 million request from the Waste Management Authority could have the same impact on the government's budget, as it was not accounted for by the governor's financial team in their presentation to the 30th Legislature, according to Sen. Clifford Graham, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
