St. Maarten Private Eye

I can't imagine why the Island Vision Foundation would ask Roy to deliver a speech for the environmental awards, unless they have the same vision...Such is life or How the cookie crumbles (same thing).

I see Roy is trying to justify his actions, with this speech instead of giving honor to the award winners. If it weren't for these concerned citizens trying to protect every hilltop, every pond, and every green area, there would surely be none left. People like Roy will rape the island in the name of progress. They will line their pockets and when they are finished, they will leave the island to spend it. Lets see if Roy leaves the island after elections next year?

I know Roy seems quit proud to have OK'd permits to allow the filling in of the so called pond, which was a marsh to begin with, and the beach where turtles would nest. I must say I'd rather look at 300 units of concrete instead of 300 baby turtles.

One last thing I'd like to ask Roy, knowing that you have created so many jobs with the resort at Dawn Beach. Which of those lovely jobs would you want for your children and their next of kin...grounds keeper, maid, or cook/waitress?

On a final note about the 68 people who didn't stop in or stand up to say thanks...why should they, again your speech never once thanked a single person for a job well done, so here's to you Roy...Oh well!
