Book synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. John David Merwin is a former politician of the United States Virgin Islands who served in that territory's Legislature, as Government Secretary, and as the first native born Governor. He was perhaps the first "politician" to be made Governor as previous appointees were primarily men of the military, industry, or non-elected government servants. Merwin was born in St. Croix. In the 1950s, he became a member of the Legislature, during which time he voted for a 10-year exemption on all taxes for businesses with $10,000 of capitalization and a 75% reduction in income taxes for those industries. He was an avid campaigner for a USVI representative in the United States Congress.
