The
Lowest Form of Politics

Earlier
today, I responded to yesterday's job
actions at the Virgin Islands Port
Authority as well as the rumors of
similar actions being planned before
next Tuesday's General Election.
Like
many, I was extremely disappointed that
opponents of the Governor had decided to
put their interests ahead of all others
including local businesses, residents,
and families by their recent
actions.
What we
saw yesterday with the job action taken
by a small few put untold financial
burden on our people and cost many
people from our restaurants to our taxi
drivers significant financial hardship.
Ken Mapp and his supporters should be
ashamed of themselves.
It is
widely known now that Mapp and his
supporters were behind yesterday's
disruption as well as other planned
disruptions within the workforce between
now and Election Day. This is the
absolute lowest form of politics -
hurting others to accomplish your goals
and I believe it speaks volumes about
the character of Ken Mapp.
As we
have throughout this campaign, John and
Greg will continue to make the truth
known to the voters, and we have great
faith in them. |
