On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: A routine question about a scholarship program during a budget hearing has sparked a back-and-forth between the Virgin Islands Board of Education and the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority: VIBE told lawmakers VIEDA didn’t provide a report needed to manage a territorial scholarship while VIEDA says it did provide the report, calling VIBE's comments inaccurate and unnecessary. But with a closer look, VIEDA’s story isn’t exactly lining up.
Senators float legislation that would create a Virgin Islands Gaming Control Commission, ahead of the governor calling a special session to discuss the much-debated revised horse racing agreement with Southland Gaming.
And the Office of the Virgin Islands Inspector General has issued a report that details the mishandling of money in an adult mental health facility run by the Department of Health. Listen to these stories and more.
