Senator Novelle E. Francis, Jr. says the veto of a bill which Francis says would have offered relief to ratepayers of WAPA. The bill would reduce the amount of time that the Authority can back bill customers and defined a billing cycle as a period not exceeding 35 days. Governor Albert Bryan Jr. vetoed the bill, which was unanimously passed at the emergency legislative session held on March 27, 2020 “Our ratepayers have been harmed by WAPA’s lack of accountability. Ratepayers cannot be asked to bear the burden of WAPA’s inconsistent billing practices, which allows the Authority to issue 60-day bills and to reach back three months to correct their own billing errors. Governor Bryan’s veto of this bill shows a blatant disregard for the people of this territory, who make many sacrifices to pay their WAPA bills and keep the lights on."
