MEMORANDUM OPINION
(December 16, 2010)
The Government of the Virgin Islands claims that its video lottery contractor, Southland Gaming of the Virgin Islands, Inc., has failed to pay gross receipt taxes since 2003, and has retained too great a percentage of the net game revenue from its video lottery services in violation of its contract. It requests relief in the form of a declaratory judgment and damages. Its claims can and should be first presented to the relevant administrative agencies and, therefore, they are unripe and must be dismissed.
