Suppose I should explain this.

The VI government exists primarily to provide highly paid administrative jobs to Virgin Islanders.  Even though all Federal withholding tax is retained by the VI Government, it is still insufficient to cover all the expenses. 33% of the population work(?) for the Government.

In spite of making absolutely no contribution to the Federal coffers, US taxpayer's money is spent here quite profusely.

In this particular flood plain the Federal Government agreed to fund the bridge providing the VI Government made the necessary road connections.  That was 10 years ago.

However, there is good news for US taxpayers.  The well paid administrators usually fail to complete the necessary paperwork, either correctly, on time or at all.  As a result a high percentage of the funding grants are returned unspent.

Maybe one of those guys can work out how much postage to Cardiff, UK would be? A bridge over the railway like next to my house would shorten my journey to work by at least 15 seconds every day!

No.  This is just another example of a VI government 'folly'.

We have a Petrol /Gas station with rows of two sided pumps.  Only problem is, they're too close together and you can't fit two cars between them.
