Tears flow as Hon Christian retires from HoA
While many of the Legislators said their farewells and expressed thanks and well wishes, outgoing Member, Hon Christian also called on his colleagues to enact term limits for House members.
He noted that the USVI Governor has term limits, as well as the United States President and ask members to consider it as a tool of reform.
Hon Christian wept
Hon Christian, a former Junior Minister for Tourism who first won in 2011—after many attempts—and was re-elected in 2015 noted, “I think that once you continue indefinitely, things can, unfortunately go wrong. I am not casting any aspersions on anyone, but it is my own personal observations,” he warned.
At the end of his presentation, he also thanked his wife and two children at which time he began to cry. It was an emotional evening, as other elected members had started to become choked up as they bid their colleague farewell.
It is unclear what will be Mr Christian's next move, however, some have suggested under the Progressive Virgin Islands Moment (PVIM) aka ‘NDP 2’, he could be considered for Speaker of the HoA.
