These Are The Bills Governor De Jongh Took Action On In October

The month of October proved to be busy for outgoing Governor John P. de Jongh, Jr., who took action on a myriad of measures passed by the 30th Legislature.

A bill attempting to decriminalize marijuana was vetoed, another appropriating funds of $2 million to the Dept. of Education was given the green light. A measure attempting to give the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority the power to bill customers for streetlights usage was line-item vetoed, and that’s just to name a few.
