Our work to rebuild our islands must continue seamlessly and yesterday's Executive Order is an expression of gratitude and faith in the people of the Virgin Islands who have worked tirelessly to rebuild their homes and communities. #lifthiringfreeze#rebirth#usvi#vistrong
On behalf of the people of the Virgin Islands, I send my heartfelt condolences to the entire Bush family, as well as to our fellow Americans, as we mourn the loss of Mrs. Bush. #barbarabush#firstlady
Today @JLE_3 led a discussion on the critical resources needed to lower energy costs in the USVI—and better position the territory as a renewable energy leader—with @GovernorMapp, Rep @StaceyPlaskett, & other leaders at the CGI Post-Disaster Action Network in Miami
Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William C. Dudley and other officials met today with @GovernorMapp to discuss the impact of Hurricane Irma and Maria on the Territory’s economy and to learn about local recovery efforts. More information on today's meeting to follow
The St. John Insurrection of 1733 remains one of singular most important events in the history of the New World. It was one of the earliest and most successful revolts of enslaved people in the Americas and predated the Haitian, French and American revolutions. #USVI
My gratitude and commendation to my colleagues @FLGovScott @JerryBrownGov@GregAbbott_TX@GovernorMapp for a hard fought battle on behalf of the residents of our jurisdictions in the passage of this Supplemental Bill. @NatlGovsAssoc
I am delighted that this bill provides substantial funding for hardening of our electrical system. It doesn’t make sense to rebuild something back to its pre-disaster condition, then experience another hurricane & have to do it all over again. #USVI#resilience#recovery
The bipartisan agreement reflects Congress’ recognition of the unprecedented severity and extent of the natural disasters and our country’s commitment to helping fellow Americans. #USVI#recovery#resilience
Thank you President @BillClinton, @ClintonFdn and @DirectRelief for your generous donation of medical supplies to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Bill Clinton and his team are in the Territory this week for meetings with and to assess the recovery effort. #USVI
Pres. @BillClinton, @GovernorMapp, & Rep. @StaceyPlaskett are touring the Schneider Regional Medical Center on St. Thomas. It operates a hospital and cancer center in St. Thomas and a primary health care facility in St. John.
We are immensely grateful that @HUDgov is helping to support the long-term recovery underway in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are developing a thoughtful plan to restore our housing stock & support our local business community - together we will rebuild smarter and stronger. #USVI
