Senator Bolques Stands Firm Against New Fees That Punish St. John Residents
St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands — Senator At Large, Angel L. Bolques Jr. is strongly opposing the Virgin Islands Port Authority’s (VIPA) proposed marine and parking fees, calling them regressive and unfair to the people of St. John—an island already carrying the highest cost of living and the least access to public services in the territory. The proposed fees include: An Additional Passenger Fee for Non-Drivers at the Red Hook Barge Ramp. A Cargo Overflow Staging Fee and A Paid Parking System at the Victor Sewer Marine Facility lot (across from the Cruz Bay Post Office). Unlike St. Thomas and St. Croix, St. John lacks full-service public infrastructure, including a fully operational fire station, a Human Services office, a Youth and Recreation Center, and medical facilities, among others. Many government departments do not maintain full local offices on St. John, and those that do often operate with limited hours, reduced staff, or restricted services. As a result, residents are often forced to travel to St. Thomas at their own expense for essential services, appointments, and basic necessities.
