A number of public officials apparently are violating a law passed by the 18th Legislature that requires them to make public their home phone numbers and addresses.
According to the Daily News, office and home phone numbers as well as home addresses were to be made available to the public at Government House on St. Thomas, at fire stations on St. Croix and St. John, and "in possession of on-duty officers 24 hours per day."
The law also says "such telephone numbers shall be published and made available to the general public."
Attorney General Julio Brady told the newspaper he was not aware of the law, but would comment after he had researched it.
Sen. Lorraine Berry, one sponsor of the legislation, said it was enacted to assure that officials were available to citizens after normal working hours and on weekends and holidays.
Berry's phone number is listed.
