Calling legislation she introduced to establish a chief financial officer for the Virgin Islands “an evolution,” Delegate Donna Christensen testified to Congress Thursday it was needed because a significant number of V.I. residents believe “the operations of the Government of the Virgin Islands are not as transparent and accountable as they should be.” Meanwhile, Gov. John deJongh Jr. issued a statement and provided testimony to Congress reiterating his opposition to what he called a "deeply flawed bill which purports to address the fiscal imbalances of the Government by creating a new bureaucracy rather than addressing their fundamental causes."
