St. Maarten Private Eye

Dont' forget that the entire "upper level" (the original roof) of the government building was not supposed to be as such: it's the original roof partially made into a level for additional offices. Space was needed as the original building was too small to house the entire "country SXM government" (great planning from government eh?). Numerous changes have been made since without them ever being made public.

Approx. 2 years ago, Louie the man of action went to Trinidad to collect his "negotiating fee" from the Trinidad building & financing firm and since then the public never really heard from him again. Trinidad did not want to burn their hands on a goverment that is not well known for paying their debts, so a deal was made for the government of SXM to take it over as per immediate. Also, this is something that the government failed to communicate to the tax payers who are paying for government's mistakes / misplanning as always.

The firm building it at present, actually does a pretty good job building the structure but can only build what they are paid for (or guaranteed to be paid for). Nothing more, nothing less. Government is shaving money from other projects, to finalize the entire government building + proxy buildings.
