On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: A robotic BGC-Argo float has been deployed in the waters south of St. Thomas, diving more than a mile below the surface and resurfacing every 10 days to collect data never before gathered in Virgin Islands waters. After receiving reports of impending layoffs at the Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical Center on St. Croix, Senate Vice President Kenneth Gittens is calling on leadership to move affected workers into funded vacancies elsewhere. And residents on the west end of St. Croix are experiencing water service disruptions, with some reporting they have gone days without running water. Listen to these stories and more.
