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!

the picture you have pasted here with Commissioner Roy's picture, is that the Mary's Fancy Gut in the background? wow! and is he not ashamed?
Does anyone know if he really was standing there, or did ENVIRO news pull a fast one on him by pasting the background? Is someone going to ask the person who makes the enviro news if it was deliberate sarcasm or did the Commsissh really pose for the picture.

I find this guy should step down as commissioner of Environment, because he don't know what the word Environment means! When he mentioned in his speech that it makes absolutely no sense to protect every hilltop, every pond and every green area. And then saying that we have too protect the environment for our young people. He was contradicting himself!
My advice too Roy is to is to go back to the schoolbench and gather some knowledge about environmental aspects on this level. Because he is embarrassing the people of sxm when he make such statements without knowing WHAT Environment REALY MEANS.

Bless

What an asshole, the guy wants thanks for denying permits to a project that he was instimental in putting together and supporting? It was an insult to those who respect and care for the environment to have this man present awards. Enviro News is nothing but an empty shell, it has it's place and shows it well. Is it a Foundation? Is De Robert on the board and does he get a salary too from the magazine and radio show? Who else is on the boards of Green Vouce and Island Vision Foundations? Many questions to be asked here.
