Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. requested the resignation of Police Chief Martinez and Budget Director O’Neal as consequences of questionable indictment.

Where is Albert’s resignation for the questionable Epstein indictment? (V.I. Government v. JP Morgan). The chief office of the territory needs to be cleaned up and credibility restored. We cannot continue with the reputation of the Chief Office of the Governor as is.  Confidence is sorely lacking. Albert must follow his own example and resign. The legal recourse is available in the Revised Organic Act of 1954.

Ten Senators must utilize their authority and act now to remove Gov. Bryan Jr. from office. Lead by example and restore honor in leadership to government service.
