St. Maarten Private Eye

Our dear commissioner Roy Marlin passes the buck yet again in his recent comments at the weekly press briefing.

Residents Should Consume Less Electricity to Cut Cost—Marlin—Make some Mentality Changes - 27th September 2007

Granted, the residents of the island need to be made more aware of energy wastage, but take a look at the airport at night when it is closed, all lit up inside with airco's running, that huge roof doesn't even collect water.

It's your mentality that has left the island with no sewage system.

It's your mentality that has left the island with a full dump and no solution.

It's your mentality that has left us with a water shortage and cost GEBE hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's your mentality that has permitted out of control and unregulated development.

It's your mentality that has decimated and polluted the island's natural environment.

It's your mentality that pursues more oil dependancy at a time when every indication is that the price of oil will continue to rise and global warming is a certainty.

It's your government's mentality that leaves the island with an inadequate and inefficient public transport system.

It's your government's mentality that has made St. Maartener's a minority in their own country.

Mentality changes are needed, desperately, but less so out here, more so in that Government Administration Building.

Look in the mirror Mr. Marlin.
