AGP Executive Report

Last update: 37 minutes ago

USVI–BVI Maritime Fees Clash: Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett says USVI charter yacht fee hikes hit the marine industry hard, citing about 800 jobs lost and arguing BVI should have phased changes in more gradually. Water Supply Politics: Opposition Leader Marlon Penn criticized Premier Natalio Wheatley’s push for residents to keep water tanks/cisterns as a stopgap, saying it doesn’t solve ongoing distribution problems. Government Capacity Debate: Pastor Claude Skelton-Cline argues VI ministries are overloaded and calls the “shoe too small” approach to governance ineffective, including a critique of the Premier’s massive portfolio. Media & Connectivity: LTN says it has completed 3,000+ satellite-to-IP migrations, including reach to stations in the U.S. Virgin Islands, as broadcasters shift away from legacy satellite distribution. Tourism & Travel: BVI Tourist Board promotes its “Unrushed Season” (July–early November) with lower rates and packages to draw visitors during the shoulder months. Ports Update: BVI Ports Authority posts Emancipation Festival operating hours for Port Purcell, with normal operations resuming Aug. 6. AI Data Centers Rights Push: Alpha Compute’s Right2Compute campaign backs local energy and AI data center buildout, framing it as “sovereign compute” and data ownership. Firearms Court Fight (USVI): DOJ civil rights officials ask a federal judge to block the Virgin Islands’ semiauto firearms ban. Sports (BVI-linked): IU/UniUSA men’s basketball is set to play the Virgin Islands in FISU America Games group play in Lima, Peru.
