St. Maarten Private Eye

I agree- it's amazing that the press did not follow up on the story. It would be assumed that the person who offered the Commisioner a free ride in his private jet would want some type of influence or special favor. Roy is the commissioner of Tourism and if he feels that he needs to fly private, then it's the people business. If Roy has other business interest while being a commissioner, then that too is the people's business and it should be the same for all commissioners. Theo set an example for owning other business interests; therefore Roy is thinking the same. If he can do it, I can do it, with more style of course.

The fact that commissioner announced that he was conducting his private business on a private jet ,then, we should continue to ask what other interest the commisioner is working on other the people's business. It show the arrogance of Roy in this case.

He can fly on whatever mode of transportation he so pleases, but be open to the public or the story will live a life of its own and right now it doesn't look good.
