Lieutenant Governor Tregenza Roach departed the territory Sunday for personal reasons, according to a release from his office. Mr. Roach is scheduled to return on September 27.
In line with the provisions of the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands, Senate President Novelle E. Francis, Jr. will step in to perform the duties of Lieutenant Governor during Roach's absence, according to the release.
Governor Albert Bryan is out of the territory for two weeks. He first traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with senior White House officials and members of Congress on key federal policy priorities, including the rum cover-over extension, the reopening of the refinery on St. Croix, and the waiver of FEMA's 10 percent cost-share requirement for disaster recovery projects. In Chicago, Governor Bryan will speak at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference. He is set to return on September 28.
