Perline Scatliffe-Leonard, the National Democratic Party's candidate for the Seventh District, has expressed concerns that the Virgin Islands Party government's spending habits may leave little money for the next administration. Scatliffe-Leonard questioned the government's financial planning, describing its spending as haphazard.

The NDP candidate warned that her party may inherit serious financial challenges if the current administration continues its spending path. This comes amid scrutiny of the government's $100 million infrastructure loan, which has been criticized for not addressing pressing issues such as deteriorating roads and water shortages.
