On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Lawmakers advanced a resolution that would honor Soca artist Dennis “Pumpa” Liburd that would rename the main entrance to Peters Rest Road and bestow upon him the symbolic key to the territory for his cultural contributions. The federal civil lawsuit naming delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett as a defendant has officially been dismissed with prejudice in New York by a federal judge. A physical altercation between leadership in the St. Croix Federation of Teachers led to a court case that has been dismissed without prejudice, leaving the door open for refiling if future incidents arise between the union president and vice president. Listen to these stories and more.
