Invited testifiers appear before the Committee of the Whole on August 28 to discuss the bill to grant an extension for an expired permit for the Summer’s End Group, the company that has been trying to build a marina in St. John’s Coral Bay for more than a decade.

On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Governor Albert Bryan Jr. responds to the Legislature’s decision to block his bill, which sought to extend an expired permit for the Summer’s End Group, the company that has been trying to build a marina in St. John’s Coral Bay for more than a decade. A Superior Court judge rules that former Senator Arturo Watlington Jr.’s horse Guillaume will not be allowed to race this Sunday, upholding the recommendation of the St. Thomas/St. John Horse Racing Commission’s veterinarian who said he was unfit to race. And the attorney for Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett files a stipulation of dismissal in the federal civil lawsuit linking her to Jeffrey Epstein — but the judge says it was filed incorrectly. Listen to these stories and more.
