It's to bad that this is all speculation. If we had concrete proposals, maybe we would start voting with our check books.
I hope that the charter industry is not sitting idle while this gets screwed up.
Back in the day Charlie Cary and the other early pioneers had a roundtable where each charter operator had one seat. At times this group was at least an influential political lobby. Charlie Cary and his wife Jenny were conferred upon the the status of "Honorary Belongers". The sum total of the many whose livelihood depends on the boats going in and out of the docks on Tortola is very large. Taxi's, Provisions, Mechanics....
The other reality is the BVI runs on +/-$300M in taxes and fees. In January the BVI had more than $15M in invoices they did not have the cash to pay. With $20 Million in bills each month the BVI Gov usually has less than $7M in cash on hand.
