Virgin Islanders frustrated with ongoing electric blackouts plaguing the territory in recent months heard Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. on Tuesday list reasons for the failure of the V.I. Water and Power Authority, including forces of nature, and outline how his energy task force hopefully will help the utility become a viable and financially stable power provider for the first time.

A company formed by Aliyah Boston and family asked the Virgin Islands Economic Development Commission for tax incentives Tuesday, saying their sports management company would do more than bring in off-island money but also teach financial literacy and life skills to youth in the territory.
