It turns out that I'm not the only one who felt this crap was ridiculous! Thank God!!!
According to an Associated Press article, the Virgin Islands Legislature denied Crucian Holdings LLC's request for $34 Million dollars to start their fish farm on St. Croix. But, it ain't over!
We must remain vigilant! As the article says:
If it was absolutely over, would this issue be returning to committee? It seems as if this issue has returned to committee to answer the question as to "whether the fish farm could really pay back the loan in three years." So, it's safe to say that if Crucian Holdings LLC's lobbyist/attorney is able to prove that the loan will be repaid then the request may ultimately be granted.
But, you are Defenders of the Virgin Islands! And, you're not going to allow them to spend $34 Million dollars of your money to "prop up" this corporation...right?
Here's what we can do...
Get all of your friends to read this blog...in particular this posting, and the previous one on this issue. Through these two postings, everyone will have throrough information on this topic.
Then, call the Senate and let the Committee on Rules & the Judiciary know that you do not want them to approve this deal. Moreover, let them know that you demand they kill this bill. Remind them that this is an election year....
Here are the Senators on this Committee:
Virgin Islands for the Virgin Islanders...those at home and those abroad!

The Virgin Islands Senate voted 8-2 Thursday to send the loan request back to a committee. Senators questioned whether the fish farm could really pay back the loan in three years.So, this mess is not over. And while Crucian Holdings LLC says they are "considering several options," I don't believe them...do you?
