In a subpoena issued in March, the office of USVI attorney general Claude Walker demanded from Exxon Mobil copies of communications between the oil company and 90 different political and policy organizations “and any other organizations engaged in research or advocacy concerning Climate Change or policies.”

Unless things have changed drastically since I was helping cut roads through the bush in the VI 45 years ago the Islands are dependent on the FedGuv for just about everything. Congress can put a stop to the VIAG rather quickly if they so desire.

Time for all conservatives and sane liberals to BOYCOTT the Virgin Islands until their corrupt AG is fired or quits.
Call travel agencies and let them know “WE WON’T BE GOING THERE”.

“Congress can put a stop to the VIAG rather quickly if they so desire.”
