What you say about the residency permit is not true. Check on the status of the Governors position with those that have legitamate N.V's. I am one of those and have always paid my share of taxes, then there are those that don;t and then there are some locals that brag about not paying any taxes at all. I think the Governors attitude towards the N.V business connecting it with the residency is improper, but he is the Governor. To me it is like saying all Black People look alike and all White or whatever look alike. Not true. The real solution that should of been put in place years ago is that all property owners should pay property tax, that is what keeps an economy strengthened without relying on one main source of income.
