Back door, secret deals that our government officials have made in the past tend to grease certain palms and not be in the best interest of the people of Virgin Islands. If whatever this rumored deal is about, we can all hope that it is on the up and up, they don't throw the baby out with the bath water as they usually do and it doesn't come back to bite everyone in the butt.

Which government official, Alana?

I wrote: Officials.
We all know for the most part who's who and whose hands tend to get sticky so no need to be naming names.

April 23rd...that's the date the announcement will be made. I'm told 600 - 800 jobs initially. Maybe I'm misinformed but I'm not the only one who has heard this information. Many in the business community are well aware as are most politicians. Fingers crossed!!!

I cant even imagine that if Blowhard Chucky knew this for a fact (although she's never let facts get in the way of her bloviating before) she would miss the opportunity to put one of her "Keeping in touch with my people" PSA's in the paper and then take credit for negotiating the terms and conditions of the sale.

Chucky voted for the 4th Agreement with Hovensa. If you like the agreement or the persons entities that signed it, you should refrain from calling her names. At least this time she would be able to claim responsibility and not be lying.

Hopefully the rumored announcement will be made this week as has been suggested by some here and many in the community.

That would really make my day!

Really? Do you honestly think Chucky had anything to do with negotiations? She signed off on the 4th amendment when it was presented to her in a slightly weaker position that the first iteration of it.

DeJongh hemmed and based on radio about not having a buyer nor a reopen date. The Ides of April are upon us. Tomorrow to be exact. I am praying to be wrong.

1. Negotiations are done by governors under VI law, not senators. Senators can only ratify with an up or down vote without modifications.
2. Chucky did vote for the final presentation.
3. The presentation was weaker yes, or better said, in better interest of thepeople of the VI and more likely to produce a sale. Problem, it was in the form of a letter of explanation and not an actual amendment. So she technically voted yes to the original contract that deJongh signed.

"DeJongh hemmed and based on radio about not having a buyer nor a reopen date."

What does this sentence mean? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Please clarify.

I'm sure it was more of a clumsy reference to the rumored announcement than an attempt at a proper usage of the term.

I'm sensing a strong whiff of bs in the air when it comes to all the supposed jobs that are coming. But that odor could also be due to the election year ramblings from our current crop of candidates.

I know someone who is renting their apartment to someone from Exon and was told they are also renting over 50 cars. I have been skeptical but it sounds like something is happening - what that is....time will tell.

The lots at the airport aren't empty. It doesn't look like the 50 cars were picked up.
