LIBURD REVEALS POLICY AIMS OF NEW SENATE

Senate President Almando "Rocky" Liburd released a document Tuesday that details the ambitious goals of the 24th Legislature, including extensive changes in the areas of economic development, education, government reform and health care.
In a statement accompanying the document, Liburd said, "As the 24th Legislature comes into office, we are confronted with a fundamental fiscal, economic, political and social crisis in the Virgin Islands. We are determined to take a proactive approach to creating solutions in a way that ensures that all the people of this territory have an equal chance at participating in the revitalization of the Virgin Islands community. We have identified some key areas in which changes must be made, and we will be engaged in continuing discussion and exchange with all sectors of the community to ensure that we pursue the necessary changes in the best possible manner."
Liburd said that "most of the senators" and their constituents had contributed to the agenda.
