I was on St Thomas in 2008 and like most visitors fell in love with the beautiful, breathtaking scenery of the island. I had told friends and family I would return, but lately my feelings have changed. »

We were greatly disturbed by the actions taken by the executive director of the 28th legislature when he violated the federal Clean Water Act of 1972, the federal Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and the V.I. Coastal Zone Management Act of 1978 by undertaking a beach nourishment project in front of the V.I. Legislature Building without federal or territorial permits. »
