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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
