Education, housing program bills signed into law

From the Daily News:

ST. CROIX - Gov. Charles Turnbull on Saturday approved bills to establish a summer education program and increase participation in a home ownership program but vetoed a series of zoning changes for one St. Croix neighborhood.

Turnbull shot down the measure for what he said was a concern about storm-water runoff.
