On today's WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Lawmakers assess the territory’s mounting wastewater crisis, as officials detail failing infrastructure, untreated sewage, and blocked drainage systems posing threats to public health and the environment. The Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority seeks a court order to block former COO Stephanie Berry’s legal team from interviewing key ex-employees — prompting an opposition motion to be filed in response. Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett applauds the permanent extension of the rum cover-over rate but warns of the impacts the broader language in the 'big beautiful bill' could mean for the territory. A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a shooting in the John F. Kennedy housing community on St. Croix, while police are also investigating a separate late-night shooting on St. Thomas that left one man hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. Listen to these stories and more.
