Governor Albert Bryan Jr. says his administration is working to establish a job site where residents can apply to serve on various boards across the territory. This follows the most recent St. Thomas/St. John Historic Preservation Committee once again struggling to reach quorum. Chief District Court Judge Robert Molloy ruled the death penalty is off the table in the case against Richardson Dangleben Jr., while also rejecting his bid to dismiss several territorial charges.
