Part 2 - Neville James continues his conversation with Governor Albert Bryan Jr., identifying a source of this recent spike in St. Thomas as the Alexander A. Farrelly Criminal Complex, adding that though only two of the 20 individuals infected are symptomatic, this spike is continuing to track very quickly. Governor Bryan states that he is considering an increase in Territory-wide restrictions as a “hard reset” to preempt the school year, noting that it would be better to do this now and not delay to November, when tourism is bound to surge. Neville James shifts the conversation with Governor Bryan to the state of crime in the Territory, expanding next to the national arena to analyze Biden’s historic tapping of Kamala Harris and Trump’s reelection campaign, and then returning to the Matching Fund Securitization Act to break down how re-entering the bond market would increase cash flow. Director of Corporate Communications at WAPA, Jean P. Greaux Jr., calls in an update on an outage related to Feeder 9B, explaining that WAPA has restored half of the areas affected as crews continue to determine the cause.
