St. Maarten Private Eye

All does not sound well at Westin, by any stretch of the imagination.

On the surface everything looks nice according to the local newspapers.

But under the surface we keep hearing trickles of disturbing rumors of back-door deals, unlimited business flexibility for licences, slave labor by independent contractors dressed up in Westin uniforms, nepostism (jobs based on political connections), Roy Moron renting out his property to them, few new jobs for locals, building permits issued against advice of their own reports, government going silent on Westin's unlawful claim of public beach as their own private resort property, unlawfully closing public roads, destroying the pond, building a swimming pool right on the beach, noise pollution, smelly, old fashioned water purification plants, etc, etc, etc ad infinitum.

Will these rumors ever stop? One would have thought so with a former intelligence officer for Interpol (Jake) at the helm of security for Westin. One would have thought Jake could keep a lid on all these leaks, but it seems there are just too many stories floating around, and they keep popping up like brush fires, that they cannot contain them from within.

One thing's for sure, the DP should have a hard time at this election, convincing the public this was all done according to the books and in the open.

The fact there are just so many unanswered questions and rumors surfacing daily, that this should at least convince some voters that where there is smoke there is most likely fire. Let's hope so.

Just my thoughts...
