President

Dear Mr. President:  
 
I am writing to formally notify you that, regrettably, I will be unable to testify before the 36th 
Legislature’s Committee of the Whole regarding Bill No. 36-0085, an act to prevent or rescind any 
automatic implementation of salary adjustments made pursuant to the recommendations of the 
Virgin Islands Public Officials Compensation Commission. Unfortunately, due to scheduling 
conflicts, I am unable to participate at this time.  
 
I trust that in the future, we will have a more suitable opportunity to address this matter of public 
officials’ compensation and retirement through an open and fair process, based on proven data and 
methodologies. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and truly appreciate your 
understanding. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. 
 
Cordially,  
 
 
Kevin A. Williams, Sr.  
Chief of Staff
