I totally agree. My thing is Anguilla has so much to offer not only to our tourist but to our people. We have people who are making major decisions that will affect us down the road for years to come. We are a naive people. But I thinks it’s about time we wake up to the reality of politricks. This in my opinion is nothing but an attempt to get votes and they are doing it in a ruthless way by not even telling us in any meetings or having it discussed in the house of assembly. Is Anguilla being runned by an oligarchy?
With the privitization of water and electricity, you would think that we would in our right mind keep what ever wealth producing establishments we have close to us. But to sell it for a dollar? Am I missing something here? And on top of that there is a 7 year tax waive. I totally agree with their position of renovating the airport as it would dramatically help with boosting the economy. But I think there needs to be a gradual approach to this. We still need to keep the ferry boat and other private business into perspective. Yes they are not able to get a loan but I think Anguilla has the ability to generate the money needed to help with the airport even if it means going to those same private water and electricity companies which would help them both in the long run anyway as the influx of people will help both companies financially. But if they were not privatised in the first place the economy would be in a better state.
