Thanks Barbara for that informative explanation of the reasons behind the action. It now makes sense and probably would have had more supporters and less "complaining" from those that frequent and rely on this board and care about the Island if it was announced here prior to the event taking place.
All I could figure out from the articles I could find was a "zoning issue" which minimizes it to be on the same level as the early October RN7 blockade because of poor fire protection and the August Marigot blockade because of opposition to a drainage contract that was handed out.
It is definitely a valid issue and MANY "complaints" here were the result of not being fully informed. Yes, we have no ball in this game but quite a few of us love the Island and appreciate being informed about all things good and bad and especially appreciate it if we are on Island and the action might affect us directly.
Thanks again and good luck...
I agree..That was a wonderfully clear and complete explanation from Barbara. It definitely put everything into perspective.
Like boucharda I wish a clear, thorough explanation like this had been posted by someone on Thursday morning when this all started. I agree that it would have put a whole diferent tone to many of the early comments...including mine. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
