USVI Senator Figueroa-Serville

Senator Figueroa Serville goes bananas in open VI Senate hearing (03-01-07). He and others are the subject of a recall motion for voting in $85,000 11th hour senatorial salary increases on 28 Dec 07. Accuses opponents of Ku Klux Klan ties. This is the sort of nonsense Virgin Islanders have been putting up with for years!

The combination of contrived anger,ignorance and arrogance displayed in this clip is unfortunately all to typical of Virgin Islands politicians who act more like grown children than reasoned and dedicated public servants. And because the bulk of candidates to public office display these same traits it is difficult to see how the U.S. Virgin Islands can expect to have rational government anytime soon.

You'll be missed Juan.

What has become of Figueroa. I new that he has never been the brightest light in the chandelier. I guess being on a power trip in the senate dried up the remainder of the little brain he already had. I am glad his time in the senate is coming to an end. Too bad, I am sure that his dad will help him getting a job after the November election.

the VI is a microcosm of the US. only there some people are more careful about speaking their mind WASHINGTON (AP) Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles. The VI is no different

Good Day. Roger W. Morgan here. I'm never certain of the origin of these entries, but I assure you, I have NEVER pursued an "Internet Radio Station". I moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands following a visit that my wife and I made here at the request of one of our children who was suffering from incurable cancer. We liked what we saw here - very much - and decided to move here. We have never regretted our decision. This is truly paradise.

It is truly disappointing that this racist was not forced out of his job.

Workdem- when I was down there Roger Morgan could barely afford his car payment each month, money isn't the great motivating factor.

It is scary that these are the people leading the government, responsible for educating and caring for its citizens.

Kitestx has a great point, as long as the educated leave for the states/opportunity the poor ignorant natives will continue to get screwed.

It would help if they would stop killing each other,littering, drugs and actually give a damn though.

I couldn't agree more with kitestx. This is the classic approach to politics in the third world. The worst thing is that people like this believe (after a while) what they halucinate about. Nonetheless, it's effective.

He makes good dala, wears fancy suit and blabs nonsense, which he is being paid for.

Everyone should read the book 'restoring the american dream'. This book explains the government games and how they play it.

Locals do not want EDC not 'white' people.

He has it so backwards.

[kitestx]

though he is an absolutely ignorant, fascist, racist and discombobulated Mr. Honorable, he has the good old power-over-peeps down well.

Who sits on the $s/decisions for education?

Your government, Mr. Honorable, which is YOU!

Does this scholar think that he would have had been elected if STX's schools produced educated people?

I loved the comment that he comes from a good breed - uhuhuh. In the meantime, stx is drowning in all sorts of garbage, fund theft and crime. going to have my lobster now

[ou812vi]

LOL!!! What a....rofl!!...idiot. Could you imagine if all the Down Islanders,P.Ricans,Santos and continentals all left here?!! It would sink and die. tsk tsk. This is an example of what the lobster and steak wanters re-elect EVERY TIME! Still not enough to make me want to move...but getting close ;)
