Ron R. Potter defends himself against 'smiling' during VG meeting accusation
His ‘natural disposition’
Mr Potter came under scrutiny for his smiley disposition at the meeting, which was called to hear from residents about their concerns regarding the state of health care on the sister island. The meeting also came in the wake of the death of Mr Revovion A. Sprauve aka ‘Bucky’ on August 30, 2024.
On Monday, September 9, 2024, Mr Potter was the guest during Talking Points on ZBVI 780 AM, where he said, “That is my natural disposition…I understand the emotions that were on display at a particular point in time, somebody died, somebody lost their life and I understand, and I appreciate that.”
Mr. Potter went on to say that during his introductory remarks at the community meeting he expressed condolences to the bereaved family and following the meeting he expressed his personal condolences and that of the BVIHSA.
Did not respond during meeting to keep focused
The BVIHSA Chairman said he did not respond there and then to the criticism thinking it was the moderator’s job to do so and because he did not want to distract from the objective meeting, which was to hear the concerns of Virgin Gorda residents.
His accuser at the meeting he said does not know him, adding, “that person goes on to say because I look the way I look, I didn’t care about the community.”
Speaking briefly to our newsroom on the sidelines of the meeting, Mr. Potter said he regrets how the unnecessary discussions on his looks distracts from the needed conversation on the Virgin Gorda residents' cares and concerns expressed during the meeting.
