Letter to Editor: Too much opposition politics surrounding this port project
Dear sir, I think there is too much opposition politics surrounding this port project.
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.

Have you heard of Euthyphro? No; that’s neither a country nor a newly discovered planet. It is the name of a character in the writings of the ancient philosopher Plato.
As the petition verification process nears to an end, the first ever people-initiated referendum is imminent. Caymanians will make the decision on the largest capital works project in our history and not a political agenda.
