St. Maarten Private Eye

This past week, SXM along with the rest of the tourism world celebrated World Tourism Day.
A Tourism newspaper was produced and written by Fabian Badejo and inserted in the Daily Herald.
Many people did not see this paper as only a few were made. But if anyone who has one should put it here on SXMPE.
The theme this year dealt with Global Warming.
Reading this paper it appeared that our local politicians who never speak about the environment, had a load to say as if they are experts in the field. Amazing also, they spoke about the issues as if they were hard core environmentalists.
They know their stuff man. Two articles come to mind; Loui Laveist our own local idiotus, wants to be called the Plastic Bag Man. He is quoted as saying he used be called the Lagoon Man for all the activism he has done for the Simpson Bay lagoon and now, his stand on the plastic bag issue.
Hilarious! Then, Roy Marlin says he believes in wind energy for SXM.
In the case of Roy, I cannot believe the turn around. Didn't he just make a statement not too long ago that we have to stick to importing oil for the GEBE generators?
So either he has a sudden change of heart or he is greenwashing himself for World Tourism Day theme.
As for our local idiotus Lou Lou, there were 2 letters in the papers contradicting this poor fellow who appears to have hijacked a campaign that was started by an environmental group.
These politicians will continue thinking they can fool when it suits them and their world themes. It is up to the public to keep on top of their nonsense and expose them for who they are.
In the Herald, Roy Marlin also said our coral reefs have to be protected, how the heck can he make such statements when he was solely responsible for destroying the reefs in front of Dawn Beach. In 2005, he said the economy was more important to him than the environment as he has to create jobs.
Mind you, he was not Commissioner of Labour nor Commissioner of Economic Affairs, he was Commissioner for the Environment.
Now that he is Commissioner for Tourism, he is quoted now as a protector of Coral Reefs. What a bunch of baloney-This is flip flopping on serious issues.
