St. Maarten Private Eye

I think what you say has so much truth to it. When I first came to SXM and then visited Anguilla I couldn't believe how "slow" they were in Anguilla and why the political forces there kept stepping on the break every time the economy seemed to be taking off (=overheating). Now I understand why Anguillians are using SXM as a bad example of what they do not want to become.

SXM has certainly been exploited by foreigners, but they couldn't have done this if they hadn't been in bed with the local politicians who let them, and who still lets them do these things to the island.
