St. Maarten Private Eye

I do believe the VROM department is not 100% competent for the job. Too many people there don't really care about "their" island and are more working on their own private projects during working hours. But there are also some civil servants that want to do something to protect this island from further development, that care about the environment and that have sometimes even brilliant ideas.
But... It is also known that all the good ideas they have concerning planning, zoning etc. are blocked by the Exco and Theo in particular. They cannot make any decision unless it is approved by the commissioner, who has his own agenda.
When talking about Westin, everybody knows that VROM involvement in this project was minimal. It was Roy who was in charge and made everything possible. The developer was so pleased with Roy's help that he donated him even a house in Oyster Pond. So, instead of taking VROM to court, I would suggest take the Exco to court. They approved all Roy's ideas.
