St. Maarten Private Eye

Dear Jadira:

We could probably count on two things and that is either the Land fill or Lagoon. You know it is a shame that our Government has not taken the time or effort to realize that the enviornment of our Island is so important for now and future generations. Talk about lack of Governance. We sure have it. A 10 th grade dropout from school (Walt Disney was such) can realize that the old junk rusty toxic automobiles and trucks we have just piling up on the Island would be enough to build a skyscrapper in New York City or any other large City for that matter, but please not our Island. Progress is one thing but destruction of the enviornment for such is another, I guess we should call as even an Tourist can see GREED AND CORRUPTION. AND PERSONAL GAIN against the will of the people. Japan and many countries would actually pay us for the scrap metal and at a lower price they would probably collect it and ship it on barges at no cost. We could use that money for Education and our Youth, as we know our Youth are our future. Why can't our Government get it. The people of the U.S finally got it and voted out the Party that used religion and conservatism and greed for the select few as an excuse for their wrongful judgements in their policys, The one thing they misjudged was the will of the people and it was proven on November 7th. We need to do the same thing on the upcoming elections here on the Island in May..
