The Cayman Compass recently ran an article titled “Colours Cayman: Deportation comments in LA ‘blatant and gross abuse of power’”, which has provoked this response from me and on behalf of many, many others who shared their own views on this article and demand with me.
With the holidays around the corner and the referendum delayed, CPR Cayman wishes to take this opportunity to ensure that the public understands what has happened and that individuals are aware of what they can do to continue to advocate for transparency and a brighter future for Cayman.
Some persons have been arguing that this port will cost us too much and that it will place a burden on future generations.
I thought long and hard before I committed myself to type my gut response to the bold headline and article on page two of the Weekend Living section of the Cayman Compass, Friday, 29 November 2019.
Dear editor. Now that we are hearing the facts directly from the developers we can see that certain things that were being said were not true.
Several months ago the CPR embarked on a quest to aid our democracy. They told us that given the public interest in the proposed cruise berthing facility they were fighting for the people’s right to decide.
Dear sir, I think there is too much opposition politics surrounding this port project.
Following a 10 July community meeting regarding the redevelopment of Smith Barcadere at South Sound Community Centre and the ensuing comments made through various forms of media, I want to assure the people of the Cayman Islands that I have the best for my people at heart.
Our own Dr. Steve McField has offered a sobering observation, “More is not better than enough.” Maybe we should apply this aphorism as the guiding principle for the development of our islands’ economy; else we may have to haul a very large coffin in our collective trunk.
I have taken note in recent times the comments by the Local Advocacy Group - Colours Cayman and their concerns of our capable Education Minister, in her ministry’s proposed school - “anti bullying rules, will not protect students in that community”.
