Document With List Of Names Purporting To Be Official Transition Team Members Not Accurate, Says Bryan Camp

Breaking News / Featured / News / Virgin Islands / December 7, 2018

The Bryan-Roach transition team on Friday issued a statement discrediting a document making the rounds that includes a list of persons purported to be on the Bryan-Roach transition team. The list was made popular by a St. Croix Avis story today, with the headline, “De Jongh, former DOH CFO among list of residents on transition team”.

The Consortium has had a copy of the list for several days, and it does include former Governor John P. de Jongh under the “Economic Development” segment of the list, and former Assistant Dept. of Tourism Commissioner Brad Nugent.

The transition team, however, in a statement issued Friday afternoon, relegated the list as inaccurate.

“The information purporting to be a list of the members of the Bryan-Roach Transition Team is not accurate, and neither was it sanctioned by the leadership of the Bryan-Roach Transition Team. Information coming from sources other than the Transition’s Press Sec-retary or Co-Chairs is not official information,” read the statement.

It added, “The leadership of the Bryan-Roach Transition Team fully understands the public’s inter-est and in keeping with our commitment to transparency will provide the official list con-taining the individuals serving on the transition team shortly.

“In the meantime, we ask that you continue to follow our social media pages and our web-site at bryanroachtransition.com for updates and official information on the transition.”

Below is the now discredited list making the rounds:
