Governor Vetoes Multiple Bills, Raises Issues About Separation of Powers

News from the St. Thomas Source today of Governor deJongh vetoing a couple of bills - including the following:

"DeJongh also vetoed a rezoning request that would have allowed for the construction of a commercial center -- replete with retail stores, luxury condominiums and themed restaurants -- to Smith Bay. During a recent Senate hearing, representatives from the Department of Planning and Natural Resources expressed concern about the request. Developers asked for a zoning variance -- which allows the property to be used for something other than its designated purpose -- to allow for the construction of a climate-controlled storage facility."
