On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: We speak with Virgin Islands Board of Education Chair Dr. Kyza Callwood and EDA Executive Director Wayne Biggs regarding a disagreement that emerged as to who is responsible for enforcing scholarship fund contributions from EDC beneficiaries. A judge denied a motion to dismiss a whistleblower lawsuit filed by former VIHFA Chief Operating Officer Stephanie Berry, allowing her claims which include retaliation and defamation against the Authority and two top officials to proceed in court. Testimony in the federal corruption trial of former DSPR Commissioner Calvert White revealed allegations that former Police Commissioner Ray Martinez ordered surveillance devices to be planted in multiple government offices — we report on the first public statements made about the devices and different developments. Listen to these stories and more.
