St. Maarten Private Eye

So if sales are down and no money coming in, means we will be stuck with a ugly hillside scar. I am under the impression that our civil servants working at the VROM department have no experience in development of this scale.
So if we have no experts in the field, and our Commissioners are mostly people without college degrees and none of them have any degrees as engineers then why are they allowing our nature and environment and by extension our people to suffer by handing us a messed up environment?
I read here that Barbaron has no permits, if this is true, then why did the same VROM and Inspection not do their job and halt the excavation before it got so far? Government departments did not want to release the building and planning permit for Barbaron, with an excuse that developers have their right to privacy too.
I believe that this civil servant that made such a stupid remark should be investigated for denying interest groups to look at simple building and planning permits.
Any wonder that NOVA is here speaking to people? the island is riddled with corruption, inefficiancy, lack of transparent and open governance, hidden agendas etc
I would endorse that the Dutch come in and place the entire Public Works/VROM/ROB under higher supervision, lets see who will speak up and say that we locals are doing the job so well.
