“Mark trying to distract us” - Picko Moff on D4 Saga
Conspiracy
“It kind of feel like a distraction, kind of like a conspiracy theory… it feels like them man trying to distract us or Mark trying to distract us. I think he just want get back in the house, whatever alleged plan them had ain't work and them trying to use this loophole to get back in the House,” he said on the April 2, 2019, edition of ‘Hard Talk’ on Tola Radio VI with guest Cindy R. Rosan-Jones.
According to Moff, the scenario may be a ploy from the National Democratic Party (NDP) and Mr Vanterpool leading to the conundrum in District 4, the Virgin Islands (VI) House of Assembly (HoA) and the new legal conflict with House Speaker, Hon Julian Willock.
“The interesting thing is, whenever the conversation comes up, everybody is saying whoever outside the fourth district ain't want Mark in, but they feel that the people in the fourth district want him in, let we go to the By-election and find out,” Mr Pickering implored.
What does D4 want? - Rosan-Jones
According to guest Ms Rosan-Jones, with all the saga, the territory still doesn’t know what the people of the district want. “Do some polling,” she suggested, while pointing out that it would be good to know what side-line residents without strong party affiliations want for their district.
“I stand with whatever their decision is at the end of the day, but we also have to remember that he is a representative or he will be a representative of our House of Assembly and so the wider public should have a view as well,” she said.
Mr Pickering further beseeched, “Everybody at this point feels that Mark Vanterpool playing games, from how he had resigned it left a bad taste in everybody’s mouth… I believe that the people of the 4th district feel the same way, them ain't want Mark in.”

I am doubtful that the VIP will do a full investigation into the Ovsrspend’s supervision of the Pier Park Project!
If they do, it will be interesting to know whether BVI law allows public officials to be surcharged when they overspend their budget.
