>STACEY PLASKETT
V.I. Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett has responded to criticism about the bill she introduced that would enable the current owners of Caneel Bay Resort to negotiate a 60-year extension of the deal Laurence Rockefeller made when he deeded the property — with conditions — to the U.S. government.
As submitted, Plaskett’s bill — HR 4731 — would enable an extension to Rockefeller’s Retained Use Estate agreement — an RUE — and set a tax rate for CBI Acquisitions LLC, the current managers of the properties on St. John, at 1.2 percent.
